Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen
  • Polymer

Alberto Figoli spends much of his time researching Chemical engineering, Polymer, Pervaporation, Chromatography and Membrane technology. His Chemical engineering research includes elements of Polymer chemistry, Porosity, Permeation and Solvent. He works mostly in the field of Polymer, limiting it down to concerns involving Membrane distillation and, occasionally, Water treatment, Wetting, Scientific method and Water vapor.

His Pervaporation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ether and Swelling. The concepts of his Chromatography study are interwoven with issues in Food science, Fouling and Aqueous solution. Alberto Figoli has researched Membrane technology in several fields, including Nanofiltration, Ultrafiltration, Aroma, Ultrafiltration and Enrichment factor.

His most cited work include:

  • Remediation of inorganic arsenic in groundwater for safe water supply: A critical assessment of technological solutions (177 citations)
  • Towards non-toxic solvents for membrane preparation: a review (153 citations)
  • Preparation of hollow fibre membranes from PVDF/PVP blends and their application in VMD (152 citations)

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

Alberto Figoli mainly focuses on Chemical engineering, Pervaporation, Chromatography, Polymer and Solvent. His Chemical engineering research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Permeation, Porosity, Polymer chemistry and Aqueous solution. His study in Permeation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Membrane distillation and Analytical chemistry.

His research in Polymer chemistry intersects with topics in Fiber and Phase inversion. His Pervaporation research focuses on Membrane technology and how it relates to Nanofiltration. His studies in Chromatography integrate themes in fields like Selectivity and Adsorption.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Chemical engineering (55.74%)

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

Alberto Figoli mostly deals with Chemical engineering, Contact angle, Permeation, Solvent and Pervaporation. His Chemical engineering study incorporates themes from Phase inversion, Ultrafiltration, Porosity, Polymer and Membrane distillation. As a part of the same scientific family, Alberto Figoli mostly works in the field of Contact angle, focusing on Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and, on occasion, Membrane structure and Differential scanning calorimetry.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Oxide, Separation process, Analytical chemistry, Ion and Aqueous solution. His work on Dimethylformamide as part of general Solvent study is frequently linked to Fluoride, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Pervaporation research includes themes of Ethanol, Arrhenius plot and Methanol.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Towards the dehydration of ethanol using pervaporation cross-linked poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene oxide membranes (48 citations)
  • New frontiers in sustainable membrane preparation: Cyrene™ as green bioderived solvent (43 citations)
  • Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for ethanol purification through pervaporation: current state of the art (29 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen
  • Polymer

His primary areas of investigation include Chemical engineering, Solvent, Contact angle, Pervaporation and Permeation. His work deals with themes such as Phase inversion, Electrospinning, Polymer, Scanning electron microscope and Membrane distillation, which intersect with Chemical engineering. Alberto Figoli has included themes like Polyvinylpyrrolidone and Microfiltration in his Solvent study.
