Overview

John R. Grace was affiliated with the University of British Columbia in Canada. Their research primarily spanned the field of Engineering, with specific emphasis on Mechanical Engineering, Computational Mechanics, Biomedical Engineering, Civil and Structural Engineering, and Environmental Chemistry.

The main topics covered in their work included granular flow and fluidized beds, chemical looping and thermochemical processes, iron and steelmaking processes, mineral processing and grinding, cyclone separators and fluid dynamics, carbon dioxide capture technologies, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances research.

The scientist had a series of recent publications, including:

  • Aerobic biotransformation of fluorotelomer compounds in landfill leachate-sediment (2020) published in The Science of The Total Environment
  • Connecting particle sphericity and circularity (2020) published in Particuology
  • Simulation of heavy metals behaviour during Co-processing of fly ash from municipal solid waste incineration with cement raw meal in a rotary kiln (2022) published in Waste Management
  • Effect of calcination/carbonation and oxidation/reduction on attrition of binary solid species in sorption-enhanced chemical looping reforming (2020) published in Fuel
  • Effect of substrate concentrations on aerobic biotransformation of 6:2 fluorotelomer sulfonate (6:2 FTS) in landfill leachate (2020) published in Chemosphere

John R. Grace also contributed to book literature, including a publication with Springer Nature (Netherlands) titled Production of Biofuels and Chemicals from Sustainable Recycling of Organic Solid Waste (2022).

Their frequent coauthors were:

  • Naoko Ellis
  • Xiaotao Bi
  • Arian Ebneyamini
