Chemical Reaction Engineering
POROUS MATERIAL; REACTIONS IN POROUS SOLIDS. A major portion of Expert's research has been concerned with reactions of porous solids, the kinetics of which are largely controlled by pore diffusion. In particular, he has worked on coal/char combustion and desulfurization…
Fossil Fuel Hydroprocessing
Expert has devoted his research career to catalysis, especially in the areas of fossil fuel hydroprocessing and solid acid catalysis. He has done research on polymer supported catalysts, supported metal catalysts, especially novel catalysts made from metal clusters and other…
Ceramics: Fabrication, Fracture, Powder Dispersion, Alumina, Nano-materials; Tapecasting, Creep, Sintering
Expert has been involved in ceramic processing since 1973. He served as a member of the research staff of the MIT Ceramic Processing Center. He has taught a graduate course at Rutgers University entitled "Colloid Chemistry of Slip Casting" since…
Catalysis, Surface Chemistry
Expert has spent most of his research addressing problems related to catalysis by transition metals and transition metal oxides. His model studies have examined the basic catalytic chemistry of ammonia synthesis, Fischer-Tropsch chemistry, catalytic oxidation, and hydrogen desulfurization chemistry. In…
Chemical Engineering
Expert has taught a course in air pollution control at BYU about a dozen times in the past 22 years, a course which he organized. He has general experience in the design of air pollution control systems and has specific…
Wastewater & Permits, Electro/Electroless/Semiconductor Plating Processes, Water Recycle
Expert has 25 years of R&D, technical service, and consulting experience in most areas of electroless plating, electrolytic plating, and printed circuit board plating. He owns his own consulting and contract R&D firm, which has numerous U.S. patents. A certified…
Combustion, Air Pollution, Waste Destruction, Energy, Diagnostics
A significant portion of Expert's career has been involved in solving pollution problems for a wide range of combustion systems, including furnace flames, gas turbine combustion, and internal combustion engines. His work has led to significant reduction in pollution via…
