Fellow of the Geological Society of America

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Coal
  • Organic chemistry
  • China

Coal, Mineralogy, Bituminous coal, Coal combustion products and Pyrite are his primary areas of study. His study in the field of Coal mining also crosses realms of Energy source. Robert B. Finkelman focuses mostly in the field of Mineralogy, narrowing it down to matters related to Uranium and, in some cases, Sulfide and Silicate.

His work focuses on many connections between Bituminous coal and other disciplines, such as Sphalerite, that overlap with his field of interest in Strontium and Thorium. His Coal combustion products research integrates issues from Briquette and Pollution. Robert B. Finkelman usually deals with Pyrite and limits it to topics linked to Mercury and Cleanability and Moisture.

His most cited work include:

  • Geochemistry of trace elements in Chinese coals: A review of abundances, genetic types, impacts on human health, and industrial utilization (583 citations)
  • Modes of occurrence of potentially hazardous elements in coal: levels of confidence (360 citations)
  • Health impacts of coal and coal use: Possible solutions (312 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Coal, Mineralogy, Environmental chemistry, Geochemistry and Coal combustion products. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Combustion and Pyrite. Coal gasification is closely connected to Trace element in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Mineralogy.

His research in the fields of Leachate overlaps with other disciplines such as Ammonium acetate. Robert B. Finkelman has researched Geochemistry in several fields, including Peat, Organic matter, Mineral and China. His Coal combustion products research incorporates elements of Fly ash and Environmental protection.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Coal (73.30%)
  • Mineralogy (26.70%)
  • Environmental chemistry (20.39%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Coal (73.30%)
  • Geochemistry (17.96%)
  • Environmental chemistry (20.39%)

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

Robert B. Finkelman spends much of his time researching Coal, Geochemistry, Environmental chemistry, Coal gasification and Medical geology. His Coal study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Organic matter, Mineralogy and China. His research investigates the connection between Mineralogy and topics such as Particulates that intersect with issues in Wastewater.

He has included themes like Peat, Mineral and Coal in China in his Geochemistry study. His Environmental chemistry study incorporates themes from Extraction and Groundwater. His study in Coal gasification is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Raw material, Trace element, Slag and Chemical composition.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Quantification of the modes of occurrence of 42 elements in coal (120 citations)
  • Valuable elements in Chinese coals: a review (116 citations)
  • The importance of minerals in coal as the hosts of chemical elements: A review (73 citations)

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

  • Coal
  • China
  • Organic chemistry

Robert B. Finkelman mostly deals with Coal, Geochemistry, China, Mining engineering and Coal combustion products. His Coal research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Organic matter, Mineralogy, Pyrite and Silicate. The study incorporates disciplines such as Uranium and Sulfide in addition to Mineralogy.

His Geochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Peat, Oil shale, Mineral and Coal in China. His work carried out in the field of China brings together such families of science as Provenance and Paleogene. He works mostly in the field of Coal combustion products, limiting it down to topics relating to Hazardous waste and, in certain cases, Bottom ash, Selenium, Fossil fuel and Arsenic, as a part of the same area of interest.
