Journal Article
Mohalik, N., Lester, E., Lowndes, I., & Singh, V. (in press). Estimation of greenhouse gas emissions from spontaneous combustion/fire of coal in opencast mines – Indian context. Carbon Management, 7(5-6), https://doi.org/10.1080/17583004.2016.1249216

There are a significant number of uncontrolled coal mine fires (primarily due to spontaneous combustion of coal), which are currently burning all over the world. These spontaneous combustion sources emit greenhouse gases (GHGs). A critical review rev...

Review of experimental methods to determine spontaneous combustion susceptibility of coal – Indian context (2016)
Journal Article
Mohalik, N., Lester, E., & Lowndes, I. (in press). Review of experimental methods to determine spontaneous combustion susceptibility of coal – Indian context. International Journal of Mining, Reclamation and Environment, 31(5), https://doi.org/10.1080/17480930.2016.1232334

This paper presents a critical review of the different techniques developed to investigate the susceptibility of coal to spontaneous combustion and fire. These methods may be sub-classified into the two following areas: (1) Basic coal characterisatio...

Influence of mill type on densified biomass comminution (2016)
Journal Article
Williams, O., Newbolt, G., Eastwick, C., Kingman, S. W., Giddings, D., Lormor, S., & Lester, E. (2016). Influence of mill type on densified biomass comminution. Applied Energy, 182, 219-231. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2016.08.111

The impact of different mill fracture mechanisms were examined for a wide range of densified biomass pellets to provide a comprehensive analysis of biomass milling behaviour for pulverised fuel combustion. The milling behaviour of 7 woody, herbaceous... Read More about Influence of mill type on densified biomass comminution.

Understanding bottom-up continuous hydrothermal synthesis of nanoparticles using empirical measurement and computational simulation (2016)
Journal Article
Sierra-Pallares, J., Huddle, T., García-Serna, J., Alonso, E., Mato, F., Shvets, I., …Lester, E. (2016). Understanding bottom-up continuous hydrothermal synthesis of nanoparticles using empirical measurement and computational simulation. Nano Research, 9(11), 3377-3387. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12274-016-1215-6

Continuous hydrothermal synthesis was highlighted in a recent review as an enabling technology for the production of nanoparticles. In recent years, it has been shown to be a suitable reaction medium for the synthesis of a wide range of nanomaterials...
