Fellow of the Geological Society of America

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Coal
  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Coal, Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Fly ash and Pyrite. His Coal research incorporates elements of Environmental chemistry and Combustion. James C. Hower combines subjects such as Sedimentary rock, Vitrinite and Quartz with his study of Mineralogy.

In his study, Pennsylvanian, Coal in China, Swamp and Anticline is strongly linked to Peat, which falls under the umbrella field of Geochemistry. His Fly ash research incorporates themes from Sulfur, Electrostatic precipitator, Petrography, Carbon and Chemical engineering. His Pyrite research includes themes of Authigenic, Basalt and Kaolinite.

His most cited work include:

  • Lanthanide, yttrium, and zirconium anomalies in the Fire Clay coal bed, Eastern Kentucky (200 citations)
  • Chemical and mineralogical compositions of silicic, mafic, and alkali tonsteins in the late Permian coals from the Songzao Coalfield, Chongqing, Southwest China (193 citations)
  • Impact of coal properties on coal combustion by-product quality: examples from a Kentucky power plant (189 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Coal, Mineralogy, Maceral, Geochemistry and Fly ash. The various areas that James C. Hower examines in his Coal study include Pennsylvanian and Petrography. Particularly relevant to Pyrite is his body of work in Mineralogy.

His work on Inertinite and Liptinite as part of general Maceral study is frequently connected to Energy source, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His Geochemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Peat and Sedimentary depositional environment. His work is dedicated to discovering how Fly ash, Environmental chemistry are connected with Mercury and other disciplines.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Coal (67.30%)
  • Mineralogy (37.62%)
  • Maceral (25.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Coal (67.30%)
  • Geochemistry (25.33%)
  • Fly ash (22.50%)

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

His main research concerns Coal, Geochemistry, Fly ash, Environmental chemistry and Coal combustion products. His Coal study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mineralogy, Petrography and Pyrite. His Mineralogy research includes elements of Mineral and Monazite.

The concepts of his Geochemistry study are interwoven with issues in Sedimentary depositional environment, Peat and Coal mining. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Leaching, Combustion and Arsenic. His Coal combustion products study also includes

  • Carbon which connect with Beneficiation,
  • Yttrium which connect with Scandium.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Valuable elements in Chinese coals: a review (116 citations)
  • Recognition of peat depositional environments in coal: A review (51 citations)
  • Recognition of peat depositional environments in coal: A review (51 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Coal
  • Oxygen

James C. Hower mainly focuses on Coal, Fly ash, Geochemistry, Coal combustion products and Environmental chemistry. His Coal study focuses mostly on Maceral and Anthracite. The study incorporates disciplines such as Leaching, Scandium, Pulp and paper industry and Arsenic in addition to Fly ash.

His Geochemistry study incorporates themes from Peat and Sedimentary depositional environment. He has included themes like Extraction, Mineralogy, Lanthanide, Yttrium and Carbon in his Coal combustion products study. His work deals with themes such as Carbonate minerals, Flue-gas desulfurization, Pollutant and Pyrite, which intersect with Environmental chemistry.
