    Devolatilization of coals of North-Eastern India under fluidized bed conditions in oxygen-enriched air

    Oxygen-enriched air can increase the combustion efficiency, boiler efficiency, and sulfur absorption efficiency of atmospheric fluidized bed combustion (AFBC) boilers which use high-sulfur coal, and other combustion systems that use coal. Devolatilization is the first step in the gasification or combustion of coal. In this work, devolatilization characteristics of five run-of-mine (ROM) coals of North-Eastern India having particle-size between 4mmand 9 mm are reported. The experiments were performed under fluidized bed conditions at 1123 K in enriched air containing 30% oxygen. The devolatilization time was correlated with the particle diameter by a power law correlation. The variation of mass with time was correlated by an exponential correlation. It was observed that the average ratio of yield of volatile matter to the proximate volatile matter decreased with the increase in volatilecontent of the coals. A shrinking-core model was used to determine the role of filmdiffusion, ash-diffusion and chemical reaction. The experimental results indicate the likelihood of film-diffusion to be the rate-controlling mechanism in presence of oxygenenriched air. A cost-analysis was carried out to study the economy of the proces

    An efficient and one-pot synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted and 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles catalyzed by InCl3·3H2O

    InCl3�3H2O was found to be a mild and effective catalyst for the efficient, one-pot, three component synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles at room temperature. Moreover, the utility of this protocol was further explored conveniently for the one-pot, four component synthesis of 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazoles in high yields

    The preparation of 3-oxo-4-azasteroid fromA-nor-3,5-secosteroid-3-oic acid is described in a solventless condition catalysed by Lewis acid under microwave irradiation.We utilized urea as an environmentally benign source for the generation of ammonia for the aza cyclization reaction

    The facile and efficient three-component one-pot Mannich-type reaction of indoles catalyzed by In(OTf)3 under microwave irradiations

    Indium triflate catalysed the three-component one-pot reaction of indole 1 with a heteroimine generated in situ under microwave irradiations and afforded predominately secondary indolyl amines 4 in excellent yields as well as bisindolyl methane 5 in poor yields. The catalyst indium triflate can be recovered after the reaction and reused in the subsequent experiments
