Zero-valent iron (ZVI) facilitated in-situ selenium (Se) immobilization and its recovery by magnetic separation: Mechanisms and implications for microbial ecology (2024)
Journal Article
Wang, Z., Lü, C., Wang, Y., Gomes, R. L., Clarke, C. J., & Gomes, H. I. (2024). Zero-valent iron (ZVI) facilitated in-situ selenium (Se) immobilization and its recovery by magnetic separation: Mechanisms and implications for microbial ecology. Journal of Hazardous Materials, 473, Article 134591. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134591

Selenium (Se(VI)) is environmentally toxic. One of the most popular reducing agents for Se(VI) remediation is zero-valent iron (ZVI). However, most ZVI studies were carried out in water matrices, and the recovery of reduced Se has not been investigat...

Selenium (Se) recovery for technological applications from environmental matrices based on biotic and abiotic mechanisms (2021)
Journal Article
Wang, Z., Wang, Y., Gomes, R. L., & Gomes, H. I. (2022). Selenium (Se) recovery for technological applications from environmental matrices based on biotic and abiotic mechanisms. Journal of Hazardous Materials, 427, Article 128122. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.128122

Selenium (Se) is an essential element with application in manufacturing from food to medical industries. Water contamination by Se is of concern due to anthropogenic activities. Recently, Se remediation has received increasing attention. Hence, diffe...

Early development of artificially initiated turbulent spots (2021)
Journal Article
Wang, Y. X., Choi, K.-S., Gaster, M., Atkin, C., Borodulin, V., & Kachanov, Y. (2021). Early development of artificially initiated turbulent spots. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 916, Article A1. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2021.152

An experimental investigation was carried out in a low-turbulence wind tunnel to study the early development of artificially initiated turbulent spots in a laminar boundary layer over a flat plate. Their reproducibility allowed us to observe fine str... Read More about Early development of artificially initiated turbulent spots.

A Sustainable Chemicals Manufacturing Paradigm Using CO2 and Renewable H2 (2020)
Journal Article
Bommareddy, R. R., Wang, Y., Pearcy, N., Hayes, M., Lester, E., Minton, N. P., & Conradie, A. V. (2020). A Sustainable Chemicals Manufacturing Paradigm Using CO2 and Renewable H2. iScience, 23(6), Article 101218. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2020.101218

© 2020 The Author(s) The chemical industry must decarbonize to align with UN Sustainable Development Goals. A shift toward circular economies makes CO2 an attractive feedstock for producing chemicals, provided renewable H2 is available through techno...

Euglena gracilis growth and cell composition under different temperature, light and trophic conditions (2018)
Journal Article
Wang, Y., Seppänen-Laakso, T., Rischer, H., & Wiebe, M. G. (2018). Euglena gracilis growth and cell composition under different temperature, light and trophic conditions. PLoS ONE, 13(4), Article e0195329. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0195329

Background
Euglena gracilis, a photosynthetic protist, produces protein, unsaturated fatty acids, wax esters, and a unique β-1,3-glucan called paramylon, along with other valuable compounds. The cell composition of E. gracilis was investigated in th... Read More about Euglena gracilis growth and cell composition under different temperature, light and trophic conditions.

Upscaling Diffusion Through First-Order Volumetric Sinks: A Homogenization of Bacterial Nutrient Uptake (2018)
Journal Article
Dalwadi, M. P., Wang, Y., King, J. R., & Minton, N. P. (2018). Upscaling Diffusion Through First-Order Volumetric Sinks: A Homogenization of Bacterial Nutrient Uptake. SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 78(3), 1300-1329. https://doi.org/10.1137/17m1138625

In mathematical models that include nutrient delivery to bacteria, it is prohibitively expensive to include a pointwise nutrient uptake within small bacterial regions over bioreactor length-scales, and so such models often impose an effective uptake...
