Journal Article
Johnston, A., Lester, E., Williams, O., & Gomes, R. L. (2024). Impacts of multi-pollutants on sulfonamide antibiotic removal from water matrices using layered double hydroxide sorbents. Environmental Technology and Innovation, 33, Article 103490. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eti.2023.103490

Remediation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) present in the aqueous environment requires the development of new advanced wastewater treatment technologies, crucial to reduce the toxicity of such pollutants to the environment, supporting urban water reuse. C... Read More about Impacts of multi-pollutants on sulfonamide antibiotic removal from water matrices using layered double hydroxide sorbents.

Rapid microwave synthesis of sustainable magnetic framework composites of UTSA-16(Zn) with Fe3O4 nanoparticles for efficient CO2 capture (2023)
Journal Article
Woodliffe, J. L., Johnston, A.-L., Fay, M., Ferrari, R., Gomes, R. L., Lester, E., …Laybourn, A. (2023). Rapid microwave synthesis of sustainable magnetic framework composites of UTSA-16(Zn) with Fe3O4 nanoparticles for efficient CO2 capture. Materials Advances, 4(11), 5838-5849. https://doi.org/10.1039/D3MA00351E

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown excellent potential for carbon dioxide capture applications due to their high sorption capacities and selectivities. However, MOFs are typically thermally insulating, and so thermal CO2 regeneration is chall...

Lessons for Sustainable Urban Development: Interplay of Construction, Groundwater Withdrawal, and Land Subsidence at Battersea, London (2023)
Journal Article
Agarwal, V., Kumar, A., Qin, Z., Gomes, R. L., & Marsh, S. (2023). Lessons for Sustainable Urban Development: Interplay of Construction, Groundwater Withdrawal, and Land Subsidence at Battersea, London. Remote Sensing, 15(15), 3798. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs15153798

The capacity of aquifers to store water and the stability of infrastructure can each be adversely influenced by variations in groundwater levels and subsequent land subsidence. Along the south bank of the River Thames, the Battersea neighbourhood of...
