معرفی
Dr. Savankumar Patel is a Research Fellow in the School of Engineering at RMIT University, focusing on advanced pyrolysis technologies and sustainable waste management. His research emphasizes the conversion of biosolids and other waste materials into value-added products like biochar, with applications in environmental engineering, chemical engineering, and renewable energy.
Research Interests:
- Pyrolysis of biosolids and agricultural waste
- Co-pyrolysis mechanisms and product optimization
- Biochar applications in environmental remediation and energy systems
- Thermal treatment of contaminants (e.g., PFAS)
- Waste-to-energy processes and techno-economic analysis
Articles and Trends:
Recent work highlights advancements in biochar production from mixed waste feedstocks, the fate of PFAS during thermal treatments, and co-pyrolysis strategies for maximizing product yield. Dr. Patel's research bridges chemical engineering principles with environmental sustainability, addressing global challenges in waste management and renewable resource development.
Advising and Supervision:
Open to supervising PhD/Masters students in projects such as 'Investigating the Feasibility of Co-pyrolysis of Biosolids with Alum Sludge and Agricultural Waste.'
Affiliations:
Based at RMIT's City Campus, Melbourne, Australia.
