Krishnamurthy Doraiswamy, Indian / US chemical engineer (Bangalore 13 May 1927
– Danville, Pennsylvania 02 June 2012) World
pioneer on chemical reactions engineering Established
organic synthesis engineering as a modern discipline Authored
about 180 papers Solved many
problems in phase transfer catalysis by immobilizing the catalyst on a polymer
support DEVELOPED A number of processes such as catalytic and non-catalytic processes in both batch and continuous modes A novel continuous catalytic process for dimethylaniline Comercially important technologies such as fluidized-bed processes for making chloromethanes and methylchlorosilanes Continuous process for ethylenediamine A new process for vitamin B6 A complete process for methyl, ethyl, butyl and 2-ethylhexylacrylates Zeolite catalysts and process for xylene isomerization Processes for making alkylating benzene with alcohols A calcium based sorbent for desulphurizing hot coal gas (with T. Wheelock) Rihani-Doraiswamy method for calculating enthalpy, entropy and the Cp for an ideal gas (1965) Verma-Doraiswamy
