What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Carol J. Ptacek spends much of his time researching Tailings, Environmental chemistry, Sulfide, Acid mine drainage and Environmental remediation.
Tailings is frequently linked to Geotechnical engineering in his study.
His work deals with themes such as Ferrous and Siderite, which intersect with Environmental chemistry.
His primary area of study in Sulfide is in the field of Sulfide minerals.
His Acid mine drainage study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sulfate, Permeable reactive barrier and Drainage.
His work carried out in the field of Environmental remediation brings together such families of science as Human decontamination, Water treatment, Environmental engineering and Mineralogy.
His most cited work include:
- Treatment of inorganic contaminants using permeable reactive barriers (457 citations)
- The geochemistry of acid mine drainage (416 citations)
- In-Situ Remediation of Cr(VI)-Contaminated Groundwater Using Permeable Reactive Walls: Laboratory Studies (401 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Environmental chemistry, Tailings, Sulfide, Groundwater and Sulfate.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Effluent, Mineralogy, Biochar and Environmental remediation in addition to Environmental chemistry.
His study in Tailings is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Siderite, Carbonate, Pyrite and Pore water pressure.
His work on Sulfide minerals and Pyrrhotite as part of general Sulfide research is frequently linked to Neutralization and Humidity, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
The various areas that Carol J. Ptacek examines in his Groundwater study include Environmental engineering and Surface water.
Carol J. Ptacek works mostly in the field of Sulfate, limiting it down to topics relating to Sulfur and, in certain cases, Nuclear chemistry, as a part of the same area of interest.
