ABOUT THE EDITORS
Badal Jageshwar Prasad Dewangan, PhD
Badal Jageshwar Prasad Dewangan, PhD, is presently working as Head
and Assistant Professor in Plastics and Polymer Technology Department
at the Laxminarayan Institute of Technology, R.T.M. Nagpur University,
Nagpur, India. He has almost five years of teaching experience, including
PhD work, and while teaching, he has 10 years of research experience.
He has participated and presented his work at several national and inter-
national conferences and has five national and international publications
and one book chapter to his credit. As a convenor, he has organized a
three-day national workshop and a two-day national conference funded by
government agencies. He has also worked as a member of the organizing
committees of national conferences and workshops. He is a member of
several professional organizations, such as the Society of Plastics Engi-
neers (SPE), the Indian Plastics Institute (IPI), the All India Plastics Manu-
factures Association (AIPMA), the Colour Society, and the Indian Institute
of Chemical Engineers (IIChE). His areas of research interest are polymer
blends, polymer nanocomposites, and synthesis of tailor-made functional
copolymers via controlled living radical polymerization (ATRP, RAFT,
and NMP) and their application as polymer/coating additives mainly
surfactants (emulsifier, wetting, and dispersing agents), compatibilizers,
and corrosion inhibitors.
Maheshkumar Narsingrao Yenkie, PhD
Maheshkumar Narsingrao Yenkie, PhD ([email protected]) is a
PhD in chemistry and is presently working as Professor of Chemistry at the
Laxminarayan Institute of Technology, R.T.M. Nagpur University, Nagpur.
He is also the former director-in-charge of the Laxminarayan Institute of
Technology and former registrar (Oct. 2010–Sept. 2012) and former Pro-
Vice Chancellor (Sept. 2012–March 2014) of R.T.M. Nagpur University,
Nagpur. He has 35 years of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching
experience and is a former German Academic Exchange Fellowship
vi About the Editors
holder, having worked at the Institut fuer Thermische Verfahrenstechnik,
Technical University of Clausthal, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, F.R. Germany
(1988–1991).
His areas of research interest are kinetics and equilibrium studies on
adsorption of hazardous pollutants from synthetic and industrial waste-
water onto powdered and granular activated carbon and synthetic adsor-
bents in batch and flow systems, air and water pollution monitoring and
control, advanced oxidation processes using strong oxidizing agents like
ozone and hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by UV radiations for their removal
from hazardous wastes, biological treatment (activated sludge process) of
industrial and domestic wastewater, landfill leachates, etc. in high perfor-
mance loop reactors (compact reactor) and biofilm reactors for eliminating
BOD, COD, and nutrients and fluoride removal from water and waste-
water. He has coordinated several research and development projects as a
principal investigator, which includes research work related to photocata-
lytic degradation of dyes in wastewater, detoxification of wastewater, and
defluoridation of water.
He has guided 21 students for their PhD degrees to date and has more
than 55 national and international publications to his credit. He has partici-
pated in several national and international conferences and has presented
his work. He is also a guest faculty at the National Civil Defence College,
Ministry of Home Affairs, Govt. of India, and at the Department of
Linguistics and Foreign Languages for teaching the German language to
certificate and diploma students. He is a life member of six professional
organizations, namely the Indian Science Congress Association, Oil Tech-
nologist’s Association, Indian Society of Analytical Scientists, Chemical
Research Society of India (I.I.S. Bangalore), Nagpur University Teachers’
Association, and Indian Society for Technical Education.
