Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Enzyme
  • Catalysis

His primary scientific interests are in Biomass, Hydrolysis, Fermentation, Lignin and Biochemistry. Melvin P. Tucker has included themes like Plant cell, Cell wall and Pulp and paper industry in his Biomass study. His Hydrolysis study incorporates themes from Cellulose and Aqueous solution.

His Fermentation research focuses on Chromatography and how it connects with Alcohol and Hydrolysate. The various areas that he examines in his Lignin study include Chemical engineering and Catalysis. All of his Biochemistry and Enzymatic hydrolysis, Corn stover and Sugar investigations are sub-components of the entire Biochemistry study.

His most cited work include:

  • Visualizing lignin coalescence and migration through maize cell walls following thermochemical pretreatment (475 citations)
  • Deposition of Lignin Droplets Produced During Dilute Acid Pretreatment of Maize Stems Retards Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Cellulose (346 citations)
  • Treatment of biomass to obtain fermentable sugars (321 citations)

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

Melvin P. Tucker mostly deals with Biomass, Hydrolysis, Cellulose, Pulp and paper industry and Corn stover. His study in Biomass is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Waste management, Biofuel and Lignin. His Hydrolysis study is focused on Biochemistry in general.

His Cellulose research integrates issues from Steam explosion and Botany. Melvin P. Tucker interconnects Scientific method, Biotechnology, Dilute acid and Biorefinery in the investigation of issues within Pulp and paper industry. His research investigates the link between Corn stover and topics such as Enzymatic hydrolysis that cross with problems in Xylose and Cellulosic ethanol.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biomass (36.03%)
  • Hydrolysis (25.74%)
  • Cellulose (26.47%)

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

  • Biomass (36.03%)
  • Enzymatic hydrolysis (19.12%)
  • Pulp and paper industry (24.26%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Biomass, Enzymatic hydrolysis, Pulp and paper industry, Corn stover and Lignocellulosic biomass. His Biomass research incorporates elements of Sugar and Biofuel. His Pulp and paper industry study frequently links to related topics such as Lignin.

His Lignin research includes themes of Carbon utilization, Biorefinery and Cellulase. Lignocellulosic biomass is the subject of his research, which falls under Hydrolysis. His Hydrolysis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cellulose, Furfural, Xylose and Nuclear chemistry.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Production of Jet Fuel‐Range Hydrocarbons from Hydrodeoxygenation of Lignin over Super Lewis Acid Combined with Metal Catalysts (47 citations)
  • Microbial electrochemical treatment of biorefinery black liquor and resource recovery (15 citations)
  • Kinetic Modelling and Experimental Studies for the Effects of Fe2+ Ions on Xylan Hydrolysis with Dilute-Acid Pretreatment and Subsequent Enzymatic Hydrolysis (10 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Enzyme
  • Catalysis

His scientific interests lie mostly in Boost converter, Faraday efficiency, Optoelectronics, Cathode and Power management system. Borrowing concepts from Energy conversion efficiency, Melvin P. Tucker weaves in ideas under Boost converter.
