Dr. Srivastava is carrying out his research work
on Lipid Science and Technology. The basic approach
in his research work is oriented towards natural products
and cyano lipids. He and his group members are known
for their work in Bio-Fuels. Some of the research articles
from Prof. Srivastava’s group published have been
well cited by other researchers. Some research results,
particularly in the area of Lipid Science are now being
used by industry. He has also carried out certain reactions
of long chain internal, terminal and a, ß-unsaturated
acids and their derivatives like epoxy and dihydroxy
with nitrosyl fluoride.
He has active collaborations with scientists from organizations
like Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT,
Hyderabad), Indian Institute of Technology, (IIT, Kanpur)
University Department of Chemical Technology (UDCT,
Mumbai), Harcourt Butler Technological Institute (HBTI,
Kanpur), NEERI Nagpur. He is active Fellow/Life member
of various professional bodies like Indian Chemical
Society (ICS), National Safety Council of India (NSCI),
Indian Association for Environmental Management (IAEM),
The Indian Science Congress Association (ISCA), Society
of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), Society of Advancement
of Electrochemical Science and Technology (SAEST), Indian
Society of Technical Educational (ISTE), Oil Technologist’s
Association of India (OTAI), Plasma Science Society
of India (PSSI), and Chemical Research Society of India
(CRSI).
Recently he has started his research work on drilling
fluid and certain environmental issues of oil, gas and
energy sector. He has initiated experimental and theoretical
work on Environmental issues of Petroleum industries
particularly the energy recovery from waste collected
from petroleum refinery. He has been working on Bio-fuels
from some indigenous oilseeds apart from Jatropha. Both
experimental and modeling studies are being conducted
in this area. He has published a book on Engineering
Chemistry. He had been Environmental Auditor recognized
by Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB).
