Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Carbon dioxide
  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen

Activated sludge, Sewage treatment, Chemical engineering, Food science and Flocculation are his primary areas of study. His Activated sludge study combines topics in areas such as Chromatography, Sequencing batch reactor and Nuclear chemistry. The Sewage treatment study combines topics in areas such as Wastewater and Waste disposal.

While the research belongs to areas of Food science, Paul Lant spends his time largely on the problem of Thermal hydrolysis, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Anaerobic digestion and Hydrolysis. His Flocculation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Filtration, Breakup and Shear. As part of the same scientific family, Paul Lant usually focuses on Waste management, concentrating on Bioreactor and intersecting with Denitrification and Environmental engineering.

His most cited work include:

  • The influence of key chemical constituents in activated sludge on surface and flocculating properties (413 citations)
  • Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification in bench-scale sequencing batch reactors (360 citations)
  • The chemomechanical properties of microbial polyhydroxyalkanoates (294 citations)

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

Paul Lant mostly deals with Environmental engineering, Sewage treatment, Waste management, Activated sludge and Wastewater. His Environmental engineering study deals with Water use intersecting with Water conservation. His work focuses on many connections between Sewage treatment and other disciplines, such as Nitrous oxide, that overlap with his field of interest in Nitrite.

His research in Activated sludge intersects with topics in Chromatography, Flocculation, Chemical engineering and Food science. He combines subjects such as Extracellular polymeric substance and Polyhydroxyalkanoates with his study of Chemical engineering. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Wastewater, Denitrification is strongly linked to Environmental chemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental engineering (22.58%)
  • Sewage treatment (20.28%)
  • Waste management (19.82%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Environmental engineering (22.58%)
  • Water use (5.53%)
  • Waste management (19.82%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental engineering, Water use, Waste management, Polyhydroxyalkanoates and Water supply. His work in the fields of Wastewater and Sewage treatment overlaps with other areas such as Shower and Work. His work carried out in the field of Water use brings together such families of science as Urban water, Environmental planning, Water conservation and Natural resource economics.

His Waste management research focuses on Anaerobic digestion and how it relates to cardboard and Water industry. His Polyhydroxyalkanoates research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Biodegradation, Chemical engineering and Methane. His Biomass research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Inorganic chemistry, Bioreactor, Environmental chemistry, Denitrification and Biofuel.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Energy use for water provision in cities (60 citations)
  • Environmental impact of biodegradable food packaging when considering food waste (58 citations)
  • Environmental Benefits and Burdens of Phosphorus Recovery from Municipal Wastewater. (56 citations)

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

  • Carbon dioxide
  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen

His primary areas of study are Water use, Environmental impact assessment, Polyhydroxyalkanoates, Environmental engineering and Water supply. His research in Water use tackles topics such as Environmental planning which are related to areas like Business case and Decision support system. Other disciplines of study, such as Life-cycle assessment, Wastewater, Sewage treatment, Landfill gas and Food packaging, are mixed together with his Environmental impact assessment studies.

His studies deal with areas such as Raw material, Biodegradation, Bioplastic, Methane and Pulp and paper industry as well as Polyhydroxyalkanoates. His Environmental engineering study incorporates themes from Agricultural economics, Occupancy and Material flow analysis. The concepts of his Water supply study are interwoven with issues in Water conservation and Water resource management.
