About Muzammil Iqbal – Plasma Chemistry & Process Electrification Expert
Dr. Muzammil Iqbal – R&D Engineer specializing in atmospheric plasma chemistry and process electrification.
Welcome to PlasmaScholar.com. I am a Scientific Researcher and R&D Process Engineer specializing in non-equilibrium plasma chemistry, plasma nitrogen fixation, and plasma gasification for sustainable chemical production and clean energy applications.
Core Expertise & Strategic Focus
- Plasma Nitrogen Fixation & Green Ammonia: Electrification of fertilizer production using non-thermal arc discharges, DBD, and plasma-liquid interaction.
- Plasma Gasification & C1–C2 Conversion: Methane pyrolytic conversion, syngas generation, tar cracking, and high-pressure microwave plasma diagnostics.
- Industrial R&D & Scale-Up: Process design (PFD/P&ID), Techno-Economic Assessment (TEA), CAPEX/OPEX modeling, and IP development from lab-scale concept to commissioning.
Professional Background
