Charles J. Banks focuses on Anaerobic digestion, Waste management, Biogas, Food waste and Digestate. His studies in Anaerobic digestion integrate themes in fields like Raw material, Methanogenesis, Ammonia, Waste treatment and Animal science. His work on Flue gas is typically connected to Raceway as part of general Waste management study, connecting several disciplines of science.

His Biogas study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Food science, Environmental engineering, Activated sludge, Municipal solid waste and Digestion. The various areas that Charles J. Banks examines in his Food waste study include Biodegradation and Food microbiology. In his study, Stripping, Tonne and Energy balance is inextricably linked to Biofuel, which falls within the broad field of Digestate.

His most cited work include:

  • The effect of volatile fatty acid additions on the anaerobic digestion of cellulose and glucose in batch reactors (330 citations)
  • Anaerobic digestion of source-segregated domestic food waste: Performance assessment by mass and energy balance (262 citations)
  • Thiol-functionalised mesoporous silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles for high efficiency removal and recovery of Hg from water (244 citations)

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

Charles J. Banks mainly investigates Anaerobic digestion, Waste management, Pulp and paper industry, Biogas and Environmental engineering. His studies deal with areas such as Mesophile, Food waste and Bioreactor as well as Anaerobic digestion. The Food waste study combines topics in areas such as Biodegradation and Ammonia.

His research investigates the connection between Bioreactor and topics such as Chromatography that intersect with issues in Adsorption. Much of his study explores Waste management relationship to Biomass. His work deals with themes such as Wastewater, Hydraulic retention time, Effluent, Chemical oxygen demand and Raw material, which intersect with Pulp and paper industry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Anaerobic digestion (44.19%)
  • Waste management (34.11%)
  • Pulp and paper industry (24.81%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Anaerobic digestion (44.19%)
  • Pulp and paper industry (24.81%)
  • Biogas (17.83%)

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

Charles J. Banks mainly focuses on Anaerobic digestion, Pulp and paper industry, Biogas, Food waste and Waste management. His Anaerobic digestion research incorporates themes from Raw material, Ammonia and Mesophile. His work in the fields of Pulp and paper industry, such as Pulp, intersects with other areas such as Mathematics.

His Biogas research integrates issues from Chromatography and Mixing. The study incorporates disciplines such as Food science, Biodegradation, Hydrolysis, Kjeldahl method and Digestion in addition to Food waste. His study in the fields of Bioenergy and Biofuel under the domain of Waste management overlaps with other disciplines such as Raceway and Pre treatment.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Evaluation of carbon dioxide mass transfer in raceway reactors for microalgae culture using flue gases. (132 citations)
  • Fluid-dynamic characterization of real-scale raceway reactors for microalgae production (102 citations)
  • Anaerobic digestion of autoclaved and untreated food waste (96 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Oxygen

His primary scientific interests are in Anaerobic digestion, Waste management, Food waste, Ammonia and Biogas. He has included themes like Yield, Mesophile, Raw material and Pulp and paper industry in his Anaerobic digestion study. His work on Bioenergy, Biofuel and Flue gas as part of general Waste management study is frequently linked to Raceway, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Charles J. Banks combines subjects such as Hydrolysis and Methane with his study of Food waste. His study focuses on the intersection of Biogas and fields such as Municipal solid waste with connections in the field of Particle size, Digestion, Environmental engineering and Incineration. His Digestate research focuses on Stripping and how it relates to Waste treatment.
