Carlos A. Cardona mostly deals with Waste management, Biofuel, Raw material, Bioenergy and Ethanol fuel. Carlos A. Cardona interconnects Biomass and Bagasse in the investigation of issues within Waste management. His studies in Biofuel integrate themes in fields like Fermentation, Biochemistry and Process.

His Raw material study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Lignocellulosic biomass and Food science. The concepts of his Bioenergy study are interwoven with issues in Biodiesel, Biodiesel production, Process integration, Process engineering and Work in process. His Ethanol fuel research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Gasoline, Process design, Oxygenate and Agricultural science.

His most cited work include:

  • Trends in biotechnological production of fuel ethanol from different feedstocks. (1355 citations)
  • Fuel ethanol production: process design trends and integration opportunities. (794 citations)
  • Production of bioethanol from sugarcane bagasse: status and perspectives. (486 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Biofuel, Ethanol fuel, Pulp and paper industry, Raw material and Waste management. His Biofuel research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biodiesel and Biomass. Carlos A. Cardona has researched Ethanol fuel in several fields, including Lignocellulosic biomass, Process design and Process engineering.

His Pulp study in the realm of Pulp and paper industry connects with subjects such as Environmental impact assessment. His studies deal with areas such as Ethanol fermentation and Agricultural engineering as well as Raw material. His work on Techno economic as part of general Waste management research is frequently linked to Cogeneration, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biofuel (26.62%)
  • Ethanol fuel (25.97%)
  • Pulp and paper industry (25.97%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Pulp and paper industry (25.97%)
  • Biorefinery (21.43%)
  • Raw material (25.32%)

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

Pulp and paper industry, Biorefinery, Raw material, Bioenergy and Waste management are his primary areas of study. His study in Raw material is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Food science, Ethanol fermentation, Ethanol fuel, Process design and Hydrolysate. His Ethanol fuel research entails a greater understanding of Fermentation.

The subject of his Bioenergy research is within the realm of Biofuel. Much of his study explores Biofuel relationship to Biomass. His Waste management study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ethanol and Bagasse.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Comparison of lignin extraction processes: Economic and environmental assessment. (53 citations)
  • Techno-economic and environmental assessment of essential oil extraction from Oregano (Origanum vulgare) and Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) in Colombia (40 citations)
  • Wood residue (Pinus patula bark) as an alternative feedstock for producing ethanol and furfural in Colombia: experimental, techno-economic and environmental assessments (34 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Organic chemistry

His primary areas of investigation include Pulp and paper industry, Biorefinery, Raw material, Waste management and Bioenergy. His study focuses on the intersection of Pulp and paper industry and fields such as Extraction with connections in the field of Tonne, Rosmarinus and Distillation. His work deals with themes such as Pulp and Environmental analysis, which intersect with Biorefinery.

His Waste management research includes elements of Bagasse, Fermentation and Hydrolysate. Bagasse is closely attributed to Ethanol fuel in his study. Carlos A. Cardona is doing genetic studies as part of his Biomass and Biofuel and Bioenergy investigations.
