The waste crop residue burning in the agriculture field poses a lot of environmental, health, and economic issues in the various part of India on the other hand it is a good renewable source of energy, widely available and carbon-neutral. In this direction, efforts are made to improve the properties of waste crop residue via rotating rector torrefaction. Torrefaction is a thermal process to convert biomass into a coal-like material, which has better fuel characteristics than the original biomass. Torrefied biomass is more brittle, making grinding easier and less energy intensive. The chopped waste crop residue was torrified at different temperatures ranging from 250 to 300⁰C in the protective environment. It is observed that the gross calorific value increases from 3640 to 4500 Kcal/ kg whereas fixed carbon content increases to 21 to 34 % and density increases from 0.22g/cc to 0.50 g/cc. The volume of torrified material decreases significantly as compared to raw waste crop residue. The 10 % use of the torrified product with sub-bituminous coal in different applications can consume hundred million tonnes of crop residue and as a result reduction in significant amounts of greenhouse gases hence earning carbon credit.

K. marxianus is a thermotolerant fastest-growing eukaryote. The organism can assimilate a variety of sugars such as xylose, dextrose, fructose lactose and inulin. The unique properties of K. marxianus make it an attractive host for a number of industrial applications including large-scale protein production.

The group at CSIR-IMTECH has now constructed a K. marxianus strain with a number of auxotrophic markers. The expression vectors encoding novel constitutive and inducible promoters with novel terminators have been designed. The technology thus provides an alternative microbial host platform for protein or enzymes production.

Large-scale biologics and enzyme production require microbial host systems that are cost-effective, scalable, and capable of producing active, natively folded proteins. Kluyveromyces marxianus has emerged as an attractive non-conventional yeast due to its rapid growth, thermotolerance, and moderate glycosylation; however, its application has been limited by the lack of strong constitutive promoters, absence of inducible promoters, and availability of only a limited number of auxotrophic markers.

The group addressed these critical gaps by (i) engineering K. marxianus strains with multiple auxotrophic markers, (ii) identifying and developing novel constitutive and inducible promoters and (iii) identifying novel terminator sequences. The strength of the identified inducible promoter is tunable by varying the type of sugar present.

The outcome is a patentable, ready-to-use K. marxianus protein expression kit with the competent cells and expression plasmids.

• Engineered Host with Multiple Auxotrophic Markers – Enables efficient genetic manipulation and stable plasmid maintenance.
• Identified Next-Generation Strong Constitutive Promoters – Deliver protein yields far exceeding from existing
• Identified Novel Inducible Promoters – Provide rapid, reversible, and tightly controlled protein expression — a first-of-its-kind tool in marxianus.
• Industrial-Grade Physiology – Combines high-temperature tolerance, multi-carbon utilization, and rapid growth (~52 min doubling time) to cut production costs and enable scalable fermentation.
• Developed a commercial-ready-to-use expression kit with patent protection.

Mefrosol is an industrially important perfumery chemical that gives freshness and volume in both floral and citrus fragrances. Due to high demand and no indigenous process available, India imports this perfumery chemical in large quantity, primarily from China. At CSIR-CSMCRI, we have developed a chemical process for Mefrosol at 1 Kg level in > 90% yield and > 98% purity. The process consists of two synthetic steps: Step I: Condensation between benzaldehyde and isoprenol leading to a mixture of dihydropyran derivatives (rosyranes); Step II: Catalytic hydrogenation of the resulting mixture. The process employs cheap and recyclable catalysts, commercial grade reagents and solvents without further purification, giving high yield and industrially relevant purity. Compared to the conventional techniques, the CSMCRI process is much greener in terms of both waste management and the use of benign ingredients and allows for reducing the cost tentatively 20-25% of the existing market price. The complete basic engineering package (BEP) is ready for commercialization, and the demonstration at an industry site can be performed at 1 Kg per batch scale. This is the first indigenous process for Mefrosol in India and when commercialized, we anticipate that the process may lead to the import substitution of Mefrosol.

Mefrosol is an industrially important perfumery chemical that is primarily imported from abroad. Thus, perfumery industries are the target sector for this product.

• Currently no indigenous process for Mefrosol is available in India. CSMCRI’s Technology is the first chemical process for the production of Mefrosol with a high yield and industrially relevant purity.
• The present process is very much clean giving water as the only by-product resulting in excellent yield and purity of the desired product Mefrosol.
• The present process is cost-competitive as it utilizes commercial grade starting materials, reagents and solvents.
• The present process avoids any purification by chromatographic separation.

A green process for the production of methylxanthines focuses on environment-friendly and sustainable methods to obtain compounds such as caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline. Instead of chemical synthesis, the process often employs biotechnological or enzymatic methods using microorganisms or plant derived enzymes. This approach reduces toxic reagents, lowers energy consumption, and minimizes environmental pollution while producing high purity methylxanthines for use in food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries.

Methylxanthines produced through green processes are widely used in functional foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and nutraceutical products. Caffeine is used as a stimulant in coffee, tea, energy drinks, and dietary supplements, while theobromine is used in chocolate based products and health formulations. Theophylline has pharmaceutical applications for respiratory conditions. Biotechnological production methods such as microbial fermentation or enzymatic biotransformation make the process more sustainable and suitable for large scale industrial production.

The green production process offers several advantages including reduced environmental impact, lower energy usage, and minimal chemical waste. It improves process safety and sustainability compared with conventional chemical synthesis. Additionally, biotechnological methods allow high specificity, better product yield, and improved purity of methylxanthines. The approach also supports circular bioeconomy practices, as agricultural residues or natural substrates can be used as raw materials in the production process.

A hybrid molecule SEGA (Synthesized tryptamine- gallic acid) against Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID: painkiller) induced gastropathy.

It is well tried and tested in vitro where in it was understood that SEGA has special property of preventing radicals from entering the mitochondria which in-turn protects gastric mucosa from injury.

The synthesis and evaluation of gastroprotective effect of different tryptamine derivatives were done. Tryptamine derivatives have been synthesized by formation of amide or ester with some known anti oxidant molecules. These derivatives show excellent antioxidant property in vitro. Among all the derivatives the compound SEGA (3a), that was prepared by the combination of serotonin with gallic acid shows the greater antioxidant property than the other synthesized compounds both in vivo and in vitro. SEGA(3a) shows the gastroprotective effect against NSAIDs (indomethacin or diclofenac)-induced gastropathy in dose dependent manner and also accelerates the healing from injury. It prevents the NSAIDs-induced mitochondrial oxidative stress in vivo. 
This derivative prevents NSAID-induced mitochondrial oxidative stress-mediated apoptosis in vivo by preventing the activation of caspase 9 and caspase-3 and restores NSAIDs-mediated collapse of mitochondroial transmembrane potential and dehydrogenase activity. SEGA (3a) plays an important role as an iron chelator as well as intra mitochondrial ROS scavenger. Thus, SEGA (3a) is a potent antioxidant antiapototic molecule, which efficiently prevents NSAID-induced gastropathy and stress or alcohol-mediated gastric damage.

A novel small molecule which can prevent gastro trouble arising from use of pain killers.

Tryptamine derivatives are useful as antioxidant and anti-apoptotic effect to prevent gastropathy/gastric mucosal injury induced by Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), stress and ethanol.

Discovered indigenously.
Safe and stable.
Immense therapeutic potential.

These derivatives can chelate free iron, prevent oxidative stress by scavenging ROS and simultaneously offer anti-apoptotic effect in vitro. 
These derivatives have the ability to prevent the formation of iron-mediated .OH as well as scavenge ROS in vivo. We have shown that these derivatives can prevent gastric mucosal oxidative stress and gastropathy by preventing ROS-mediated activation of apoptosis in gastric mucosal cells induced by NSAIDs.

JIGS represent one of the earliest types of machinery employed in mineral and coal processing. Their adaptation to process coal established jigs as the most popular and efficient method of coal cleaning for over a century until the arrival of dense medium process. Increased demand for more and more cost-efficient methods of beneficiation lead to a review of the jigging process. Application of new concepts and the use of new technology of manufacture and controls resulted in new forms of jigs.

Large capacity Batac jigs is available in the market and these are usually procured and installed at the washeries. Unfortunately, no elaborate studies were carried out on treatment of high ash Indian coals using the batac jigs and hence the performance evaluation while treating Indian coals is lacking. To study the performance evaluation a smaller capacity jig is required where the parameters may be monitored and controlled. It is difficult to get a low capacity test rig and unfortunately it is not available in the market. CSIR –CIMFR, Dhanbad India is having experience of washing Indian coals and huge data available on the characteristics of different coals. This will help in designing a low capacity bottom air pulsated jig (test rig) which may fulfill the requirements of R&D purposes.

Masonry triplet specimens are widely used to determine the parameters associated with the shear strength of brick masonry (i.e., shear bond strength and bed-joint friction coefficient). This test requires two different loads to be applied on the specimen. Firstly, a pre-compression that is vertical and constant throughout the test is required and then a shear force that is horizontal and monotonically increasing. In the literature, either two servo-controlled actuators have been used (or) one reaction-based jig and a hydraulic jack for this purpose. The developed brick masonry triplet shear tester involves a simpler means of pre-compression through gravity and horizontal load through a screw mechanism or hydraulic jack. The shear tester is a simpler set-up compared to two servo-controlled actuators method, whilst reliable in nullifying the effects of dilation compared to the reaction-based jig method.

CSIR-NIIST uniquely developed dual colour emitting inorganic phosphors for specialized applications. In the daylight conditions, these phosphors do not emit any noticeable light. Under UV lights of different wavelengths, the phosphors show different emission colours. The developed security inks using these phosphors produced various writings on different surfaces, including currency notes and QR codes. The above technique can prevent fraud and duplication of logos, currency notes and documents.

CSIR-NIIST has developed dual-colour emitting inorganic phosphors for advanced security and anti-counterfeiting applications. These phosphors remain invisible under daylight but emit distinct colours under UV light of varying wavelengths. Utilizing these phosphors, security inks can be produced to create secure writings and markings on surfaces such as currency notes, QR codes, and official documents. This innovative technology is ideal for preventing fraud and duplication, ensuring enhanced protection of logos, currency notes, and sensitive documents.

• CSIR-NIIST developed inorganic phosphor emits blue and red colour at various UV lights

• This technology of dual emitting inorganic phosphors under various UV lights could provide additional protection to crucial products to secure their originality.

• Since the phosphor emission and lifetime are highly stable, hence these are perfect for anti-counterfeiting applications, particularly in various currencies and codes.

The importance of protection of sensitive instruments, critical equipment, vibration sensitive industrial facilities, to maintain them in operational condition during and after natural disasters like earthquake has been recognized in literature.  This proposed technology for new buildings helps in damage mitigation of critical infrastructure facilities located in a floor by bringing down the response of the slab. In this technology the roof slab is cast in two parts. Top circular part can slide on the bottom part at the curved interacting surface which has been enabled through provision of mini rollers. In order to prevent the movement of the curved slab beyond the allowable limits during earthquake, rubber restrainers are fabricated to the required stiffness and are provided in the middle span of the beams supporting the slab. Preliminary experiments have been carried out at laboratory level to demonstrate the efficacy of the scheme on 3-storey composite frame (steel frame with RC slab) 1.5mx1.5m square in plan. 

Can be implemented in critical facilities viz., new hospital rooms with equipment like MRI scanner, laboratories with sensitive instruments, control rooms with important vibration sensitive industrial facilities and servers

Usage of cold-formed steel (CFS) sections as primary structural members in the construction of residential and industrial buildings has increased due to their advantages such as light weight, ease of handling, speed of erection and overall economy. Comprehensive design guidelines for the evaluation of strengths of CFS structural members are available in the literature and codes of practices. However, the guidelines for connection design are scanty and fail to accommodate the influence of connection behavior on the performance evaluation of frames. CFS buildings and frames are constructed by using stud-walls, which consist of closely spaced studs, track and wall boards, connected through self-drilling screws (SDS). These systems were reported to have poor performance under lateral loads. Based on the studies, it is inferred that the existing CFS framing systems result in poor seismic performance and the alternate framing systems were also reported to fail prematurely. Further, the seismic guidelines proposed for CFS framing systems are very minimal and the need for carrying out studies on CFS components under cyclic loading towards evaluating their seismic performance. The present technology is aimed to develop a CFS framing system, which would solve the above issues and thereby CFS framing systems can be classified as a ductile framing system.

This technology has huge potential to use in  

• Construction of residential buildings in the moderate seismic zones 
• Adaptation of the mass-housing scheme as a prefabricated system.
• Augmentation of the lateral load resistance of the masonry systems.

• Ductile CFS framing system
• Potential to use them in moderate seismic zones
• Easy to assemble the framing system
• Less construction time
• Feasibility for prefabricated construction
