RESEARCH
Overview
Research Interests
Reactor design and thermochemical reactions - pyrolysis, gasification, combustion, liquefaction of solid fuels, including biomass, wastes and coal.
Trace element and other toxic emissions from the combustion and gasification of biomass, wastes and coal.
Catalytic hydrocracking of heavy coal liquids and petroleum resids.
Molecular-mass and structural characterisation of heavy coal liquids and petroleum resids. Development of analytical techniques relating to solid fuels and their liquid products.
Selected Research Projects
