A brief account of the history of carbamates, their synthesis, and applications in chemical industry is presented in this chapter. A section on synthesis of carbamates by catalytic methoxycarbonylation of amines is also included. Results of lead-catalyzed methoxycarbonylation of aniline to methyl- N-phenyl carbamate are presented as a model case study. The synthesis of several carbamates has been reported using dimethyl carbonate to illustrate the usefulness of the method.1 aDidgikar, M., R.1 aJoshi, S., S.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/alkoxycarbonylation-fine-chemicals-carbamates00936nas a2200133   4500008004100000245003800041210003800079260001800117300000900135520054800144100001900692700001800711856007300729       2016                        eng d00aCatalysis and catalytic processes0 aCatalysis and catalytic processes  bElsevier Inc.  a1-143 aCatalytic reactions are ubiquitous in chemical and allied industries. A homogeneous or heterogeneous catalyst that provides an alternative route of reaction with lower activation energy and better control of selectivity can make a substantial impact on process viability and economics. In this chapter, the basics of catalysis and catalytic processes are introduced. Some aspects of reaction and reactor engineering required to realize catalytic processes in practice are also discussed. In addition, the organization of the book is outlined. 1 aRanade, V., V.1 aJoshi, S., S.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/catalysis-and-catalytic-processes01354nas a2200145   4500008004100000245004700041210004700088260001800135300001200153520091000165100001801075700001801093700001901111856007801130       2016                        eng d00aCatalysis for fine and specialty chemicals0 aCatalysis for fine and specialty chemicals  bElsevier Inc.  a317-3923 aThe fine and specialty chemical industry is extremely diverse, encompassing pharmaceuticals, dyestuffs, food additives, agrochemicals, polymer additives, flavors and fragrances, various chemical intermediates, etc. Fine and specialty chemicals have been around for more than 100 years and they are produced with the aim of either being used as is or in the form of additives/formulations. These organic chemicals are generally manufactured in batch or semibatch processes. Most of these generally involve multistep processes and often generate significant by-products/effluents per kg of useful products. Catalysis can be effectively used to reduce such waste generation and to minimize consumption of raw materials. In this chapter, we present various applications of homogeneous, as well as heterogeneous catalysis and catalytic processes, which are particularly relevant to fine and specialty chemicals1 aJoshi, S., S.1 aBhatnagar, A.1 aRanade, V., V.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/catalysis-fine-and-specialty-chemicals00746nas a2200145   4500008004100000022002000041245001300061210001300074260001800087300001200105520039800117100001900515700001800534856004800552       2016                        eng d  a978-012801457-800aEpilogue0 aEpilogue  bElsevier Inc.  a737-7433 aThis chapter recaptures the key points and the lessons learned from our experience in applying the material discussed in this book to addressing industrially relevant issues.

The experimental VLE data were tested and found to be thermodynamically consistent by Herington and Van Ness consistency test. The experimental VLE data were correlated using the Wilson, NRTL, and UNIQUAC activity coefficient models and binary interactions parameters were estimated using a suitable objective function. The absolute mean deviation between the experimental and the model predicted values of vapor phase composition and total pressure was well within acceptable limits. No azeotrope was observed in any of the binary pairs and appeared to be easy for separation using conventional distillation method. 10aAtmospheric Pressure10abinary mixture10aDistillation10aXylene1 aYadav, S.S.1 aMali, N., A.1 aJoshi, S., S.1 aChavan, P., V.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/isobaric-vapor-liquid-equilibrium-data-binary-systems-dimethyl-carbonate-xylene-isomers-9313
