The question “How did life on earth originate?” has been one of the
most compelling quandaries for as long as man has been able to
frame enquiries. Indeed all known cultures, past and present,
primitive and sophisticated, have some sort of a creation myth that
rationalizes how life arose. Only in the modern era, however, has it
been possible to consider the origin of life in terms of a scientific
framework, that is in a manner subject to experimental verification.
Radioactive dating studies indicate that the earth formed some 4.5
billion years ago. Yet the earliest known fossil evidence of life,
which was generated by organisms resembling modern bacteria, is
approx. 3.6 billion years old, although there is evidence for
biological carbon fixation as early 3.8 billion years ago.
It is now generally accepted that the development of life occupied
three stages

All solid state ion selective electrodes (ISEs) based on silver sulphide
can be fabricated in the laboratory from the readily available
material in a common chemistry laboratory. Such electrode can be
used for education and research in analysis with ion selective
electrodes. The use of home made ion selective electrodes in the
determination of solubility product of sparingly soluble salts;
hydrogen sulphide in cigarette smoke, fluoride in tea infusion will
be presented. The characterization of the home made ISEs and
comparison of its performance with commercial electrodes will be
discussed. Due to extravagant cost of commercial ISE, it is rather
difficult to provide commercial ISE to educational institutes of third
world countries. The low cost and ease of fabrication of present
electrode opens an opportunity to learn and use analysis with ISEs
even by the students of under developed countries. The success of
use of home made ISEs for teaching analysis with ion selective
electrode in regular practical class in the Central Department of
Chemistry will be presented. This success has opened the possibility
of introducing analysis with ISE even to the students of higher
secondary level. This will certainly have a positive impact on
education on electro-analytical technique.
Chemical Additives for lubricating oil

With the remarkable evolution of motors and other similar
equipments, one cannot underestimate the role of lubricating oil.
They prolong the useful life of machines, achieve greater
performance and provide fuel economy. These lubricants are in
constant evolution as they must adapt to new requirements and
demands such as less frequent oil changes, higher motor
performance, more drastic operating condition and the most
needed fuel efficiency. All these can be achieved by the use of
chemical additives, like extreme pressure (EP), viscosity modifiers
(VMs), pour point depressants (PPDs), antioxidants, detergents,
dispersants etc, they add performances to the lubricating oil and
made them more compatible to the new technology. In order to
keep pace with the development of the technology producing
advanced models of engine, challenges are knocking the door of
chemical laboratory to produce fuel / engine oil as specified by the
OEM. Most of them are demanding higher fuel efficiency and green
specification. In this context development of additive chemistry is
very much essential to compete the challenges. A brief of the
recent development of additive chemistry will be presented in the
conference lecture.
