Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Oxygen

His primary scientific interests are in Biochar, Waste management, Pyrolysis, Soil water and Environmental remediation. He integrates many fields, such as Biochar and Amendment, in his works. His Waste management study incorporates themes from Modulus, Thermogravimetry, Polypropylene and Elastic modulus.

His work carried out in the field of Pyrolysis brings together such families of science as Ultimate tensile strength, Charcoal, Composite number, Biocomposite and Pulp and paper industry. His studies in Soil water integrate themes in fields like Environmental chemistry and Agronomy. The Environmental chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Partition coefficient and Sorption.

His most cited work include:

  • A global perspective on the use, sales, exposure pathways, occurrence, fate and effects of veterinary antibiotics (VAs) in the environment (2079 citations)
  • Biochar Application to Soil: Agronomic and Environmental Benefits and Unintended Consequences (434 citations)
  • Using biochar for remediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals and organic pollutants (409 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Ajit K. Sarmah mainly investigates Biochar, Environmental chemistry, Soil water, Sorption and Adsorption. His Biochar research includes elements of Composite material, Polypropylene and Pulp and paper industry. His Total organic carbon study in the realm of Environmental chemistry connects with subjects such as Estrone and Hexazinone.

In his research on the topic of Soil water, Water content is strongly related with Agronomy. His Sorption study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Partition coefficient, Hydrophobic effect and Freundlich equation. His research in Adsorption intersects with topics in Inorganic chemistry, Zeta potential and Aqueous solution.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochar (38.24%)
  • Environmental chemistry (25.00%)
  • Soil water (25.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Biochar (38.24%)
  • Adsorption (15.44%)
  • Pulp and paper industry (13.24%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Ajit K. Sarmah mainly focuses on Biochar, Adsorption, Pulp and paper industry, Sorption and Pyrolysis. The study incorporates disciplines such as Agronomy, Compressive strength, Soil water, Biodegradable waste and Biomass in addition to Biochar. His Soil water research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Plant growth and Cynodon dactylon.

Ajit K. Sarmah has included themes like Bentonite and Aqueous solution in his Adsorption study. Ajit K. Sarmah has researched Pulp and paper industry in several fields, including Biogas and Anaerobic digestion. His research in Sorption intersects with topics in Microplastics and Environmental impact of pharmaceuticals and personal care products.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Hydrothermal carbonization of renewable waste biomass for solid biofuel production: A discussion on process mechanism, the influence of process parameters, environmental performance and fuel properties of hydrochar (48 citations)
  • Recognizing the challenges of anaerobic digestion: Critical steps toward improving biogas generation (39 citations)
  • Novel Fe-Mn binary oxide-biochar as an adsorbent for removing Cd(II) from aqueous solutions (26 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Oxygen

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochar, Adsorption, Biogas, Anaerobic digestion and Waste management. His studies in Biochar integrate themes in fields like Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Permanent wilting point, Specific surface area and Agronomy. He has included themes like Oxide, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Aqueous solution and Nuclear chemistry in his Adsorption study.

His Biogas research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Biodegradable waste, Municipal solid waste and Pulp and paper industry. His work carried out in the field of Waste management brings together such families of science as Bentonite and Sorption. His Hydraulic conductivity study contributes to a more complete understanding of Soil water.
