Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Chemical engineering
  • Natural gas
  • Coal

His scientific interests lie mostly in Waste management, Sorbent, Calcination, Chemical engineering and Chemical looping combustion. His research in Waste management intersects with topics in New energy, Process and Chemical reactor. His Sorbent research incorporates elements of Fluidized bed combustion and Process engineering.

While the research belongs to areas of Process engineering, Juan Carlos Abanades spends his time largely on the problem of Power station, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Scale. His Calcination study combines topics in areas such as Carbonation, Endothermic process, Calcium carbonate and Mineralogy. His Chemical engineering research incorporates themes from Fuel gas, Plug flow, Natural gas, Inorganic chemistry and Hydrogen production.

His most cited work include:

  • Carbon capture and storage update (1087 citations)
  • The maximum capture efficiency of CO2 using a carbonation/calcination cycle of CaO/CaCO3 (394 citations)
  • Sorbent Cost and Performance in CO2 Capture Systems (264 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Waste management, Calcium looping, Sorbent, Chemical engineering and Fluidized bed combustion. His study in Waste management is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sorption, Power station, Calcination, Gas compressor and Chemical reactor. His Calcium looping research integrates issues from Carbonation, Heat exchanger and Pilot plant.

His Sorbent research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Process engineering, Fraction and Flue gas.
