RETRACTION STATEMENT
Abstract
Retraction letter by Dr. Kailas L. Wasewar
Scanned copy of the original letter is available on the link given above.
Dear Sir,
I regret to inform you that I did not take the consent/permission from the co-author in the two papers namely, Prof. V.G. Pangarkar formerly Professor and Head of Chemical Engineering Department, ICT, Mumbai.
Since this was a serious ethical misconduct I feel necessary to bring it to your notice.
In view of this, as the corresponding author and also being solely responsible for this deliberate lapse I am retracting the above referred two papers.
I request you to publish retractions of the above two papers in your journal in the immediate upcoming issue of the same. It is very important for my career.
Also kindly send a copy of the retractions to me as well as Prof. V.G. Pangarkar.
Thanking you,
Sincerely,
Kailas L. Wasewar
