Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Bacteria
  • Organic chemistry
  • Enzyme

Environmental chemistry, Nanotechnology, Inorganic chemistry, Nanomaterials and Antibacterial activity are his primary areas of study. His Environmental chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Organic matter, Bioremediation, Benzene, Biodegradation and Toluene. His studies in Nanotechnology integrate themes in fields like Water treatment, Biophysics, Risk analysis and Bacteria.

His work deals with themes such as Nuclear chemistry, Singlet oxygen, Zinc, Adsorption and Aqueous solution, which intersect with Inorganic chemistry. His research in Nanomaterials intersects with topics in Nanoparticle, Manufactured nanoparticles, Carbon nanotube and Particle size. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Silver nanoparticle, Extracellular polymeric substance, Toxicity, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Sonication.

His most cited work include:

  • Nanomaterials in the environment: Behavior, fate, bioavailability, and effects (2014 citations)
  • Antimicrobial nanomaterials for water disinfection and microbial control: Potential applications and implications (1613 citations)
  • Negligible Particle-Specific Antibacterial Activity of Silver Nanoparticles (1365 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental chemistry, Biodegradation, Bioremediation, Environmental engineering and Bacteria. His studies deal with areas such as Nitrate, Bioaugmentation, Environmental remediation and Groundwater as well as Environmental chemistry. As a part of the same scientific study, Pedro J. J. Alvarez usually deals with the Biodegradation, concentrating on Benzene and frequently concerns with Gasoline.

His Bioremediation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Waste management, 1,4-Dioxane and Pollutant. Pedro J. J. Alvarez combines subjects such as Hydrocarbon and Aquifer with his study of Environmental engineering. His study in Bacteria is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biochemistry and Microbiology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (25.13%)
  • Biodegradation (17.10%)
  • Bioremediation (15.03%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Chemical engineering (9.07%)
  • Bacteria (11.14%)
  • Photocatalysis (6.22%)

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

Pedro J. J. Alvarez spends much of his time researching Chemical engineering, Bacteria, Photocatalysis, Microbiology and Environmental chemistry. Pedro J. J. Alvarez has researched Chemical engineering in several fields, including Adsorption, Catalysis, Calcination, Carbon and Aqueous solution. His Bacteria research integrates issues from Chromium, Botany and Escherichia coli.

His Photocatalysis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Water treatment, Microstructure, Portable water purification and Nuclear chemistry. His Environmental chemistry research includes elements of Mercury sulfide, Methylation, Soil water, Biodegradation and Bioaugmentation. His studies examine the connections between Biodegradation and genetics, as well as such issues in Soil Pollutants, with regards to Environmental remediation.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Technology Horizon for Photocatalytic Water Treatment: Sunrise or Sunset? (124 citations)
  • Global diversity and biogeography of bacterial communities in wastewater treatment plants. (122 citations)
  • Rethinking wastewater risks and monitoring in light of the COVID-19 pandemic (42 citations)

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

  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme
  • Organic chemistry

His primary areas of investigation include Adsorption, Photocatalysis, Reuse, Pollutant and Chemical engineering. The study incorporates disciplines such as Photochemistry, Oxidizing agent and Environmental economics in addition to Photocatalysis. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Photochemistry, Effluent is strongly linked to Selective adsorption.

His research integrates issues of Wastewater and Environmental protection in his study of Reuse. His study looks at the relationship between Pollutant and fields such as Nitrogen, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. As part of his studies on Chemical engineering, he often connects relevant subjects like Carbon.
