Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

Environmental chemistry, Mangrove, Phenanthrene, Chlorella and Wastewater are his primary areas of study. His Environmental chemistry research incorporates elements of Contamination, Pollutant and Pyrene. Mangrove is a subfield of Ecology that Yuk Shan Wong studies.

His studies in Phenanthrene integrate themes in fields like Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, Biodegradation and Bioremediation. The concepts of his Chlorella study are interwoven with issues in Nuclear chemistry, Chlorella vulgaris, Adsorption and Biosorption. His Wastewater course of study focuses on Soil water and Leachate.

His most cited work include:

  • Spatial variation of heavy metals in surface sediments of Hong Kong mangrove swamps (491 citations)
  • Environmental fate and chemistry of organic pollutants in the sediment of Xiamen and Victoria Harbours (263 citations)
  • Contamination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in surface sediments of mangrove swamps (256 citations)

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

Yuk Shan Wong spends much of his time researching Mangrove, Environmental chemistry, Wastewater, Botany and Environmental engineering. His Mangrove research integrates issues from Forestry and Wetland. His work investigates the relationship between Environmental chemistry and topics such as Biodegradation that intersect with problems in Tributyltin.

As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Wastewater, concentrating on Nutrient and intersecting with Organic matter and Agronomy. His work carried out in the field of Botany brings together such families of science as Cadmium and Horticulture. The study incorporates disciplines such as Chlorophyta and Biosorption in addition to Chlorella.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mangrove (38.46%)
  • Environmental chemistry (27.56%)
  • Wastewater (22.76%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2021)?

  • Mangrove (38.46%)
  • Environmental chemistry (27.56%)
  • Environmental engineering (15.06%)

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

Yuk Shan Wong mainly focuses on Mangrove, Environmental chemistry, Environmental engineering, Phenanthrene and Biodegradation. Yuk Shan Wong works mostly in the field of Mangrove, limiting it down to concerns involving Botany and, occasionally, Malondialdehyde. His work deals with themes such as Contamination, Bioremediation, Environmental remediation, Pollutant and Wastewater, which intersect with Environmental chemistry.

His studies deal with areas such as Denitrification, Nitrification and Environmental protection as well as Environmental engineering. His research integrates issues of Sphingomonas, Persistent organic pollutant and Pyrene in his study of Phenanthrene. His work in Biodegradation addresses issues such as Adsorption, which are connected to fields such as Partition coefficient, Chromatography, Inorganic chemistry and Chromium.

Between 2006 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Biosorption and bioreduction of Cr(VI) by a microalgal isolate, Chlorella miniata. (157 citations)
  • Removal of fluoranthene and pyrene by different microalgal species. (117 citations)
  • Multi-factors on biodegradation kinetics of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by Sphingomonas sp. a bacterial strain isolated from mangrove sediment. (106 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Bacteria
  • Enzyme

His primary areas of study are Environmental chemistry, Phenanthrene, Fluoranthene, Biodegradation and Environmental engineering. Much of his study explores Environmental chemistry relationship to Pyrene. His Phenanthrene study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Bioremediation, Bioaugmentation, Persistent organic pollutant, Environmental remediation and Sphingomonas.

Yuk Shan Wong has researched Biodegradation in several fields, including Biomass, Chlorella vulgaris, Nonylphenol and Chlorella. His biological study deals with issues like Malondialdehyde, which deal with fields such as Botany. His research in Environmental engineering intersects with topics in Kandelia candel, Mangrove, Denitrification and Nitrification.
