Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oxygen
  • Organic chemistry
  • Carbon dioxide

His main research concerns Bioreactor, Environmental chemistry, Wastewater, Waste management and Anaerobic digestion. The Bioreactor study combines topics in areas such as Food science, Microbiology, Propionate and Sulfate-reducing bacteria, Sulfate. His Environmental chemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Environmental engineering, Sulfur, Microorganism, Selenium and Methanogenesis.

Piet N.L. Lens has included themes like Contamination, Effluent, Sewage treatment, Aquatic ecosystem and Pulp and paper industry in his Wastewater study. Piet N.L. Lens has researched Waste management in several fields, including Biomass and Biohydrogen. His studies deal with areas such as Continuous stirred-tank reactor, Biotechnology, Biogas and Anaerobic exercise as well as Anaerobic digestion.

His most cited work include:

  • Anaerobic sludge granulation. (481 citations)
  • Pretreatment methods to enhance anaerobic digestion of organic solid waste (461 citations)
  • A review on dark fermentative biohydrogen production from organic biomass: Process parameters and use of by-products (430 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Wastewater, Bioreactor, Environmental chemistry, Sulfate and Nuclear chemistry. His Wastewater research incorporates themes from Pulp and paper industry, Effluent and Sewage treatment. The various areas that Piet N.L. Lens examines in his Pulp and paper industry study include Anaerobic exercise and Anaerobic digestion.

His study in Bioreactor is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Hydraulic retention time, Microbiology, Chromatography, Methanogenesis and Mesophile. Piet N.L. Lens interconnects Denitrification, Bioremediation and Selenium in the investigation of issues within Environmental chemistry. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Sulfate, focusing on Sulfide and, on occasion, Sulfur, Inorganic chemistry, Hydrogen sulfide and Zinc.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Wastewater (25.39%)
  • Bioreactor (25.95%)
  • Environmental chemistry (27.91%)

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

  • Environmental chemistry (27.91%)
  • Wastewater (25.39%)
  • Food science (9.40%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental chemistry, Wastewater, Food science, Nuclear chemistry and Pulp and paper industry. His Environmental chemistry research integrates issues from Bioremediation, Sulfur, Microbial population biology, Autotroph and Sulfate. His work deals with themes such as Sulfide and Anaerobic oxidation of methane, Methane, which intersect with Sulfate.

His Wastewater study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Selenium, Photobioreactor, Bioreactor, Sewage treatment and Nitrate. His Food science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biogas, Lactic acid fermentation, Thermotoga neapolitana and Anaerobic digestion. His work carried out in the field of Nuclear chemistry brings together such families of science as Thiosulfate, Adsorption, Metal, Anaerobic exercise and Selenate.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Electron donors for autotrophic denitrification (87 citations)
  • Selective enrichment of biocatalysts for bioelectrochemical systems: A critical review (30 citations)
  • Microalgal-bacterial consortia: From interspecies interactions to biotechnological applications (27 citations)

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

  • Oxygen
  • Organic chemistry
  • Carbon dioxide
