Overview
Research Interests
- Study of pyrolysis, combustion, gasification and liquefaction of solid fuels, including biomass, wastes and coal.
- Combustion of blends of pulverised coals and co-combustion of coal with biomass or wastes.
- Trace element and other toxic emissions from the combustion and gasification of biomass, wastes and coal, including leaching properties of solid residues from such processing.
- Chemical characterisation of heavy coal derived liquids and petroleum residuals.
