(University of Waterloo, 2008-02-22)My doctoral thesis challenges the traditional paradigm of phosphorus (P) limitation of phytoplankton communities in freshwaters by suggesting colimitation of P, nitrogen (N), and iron (Fe) in Great Lakes. Oceanographers ... -
Selectively leaching the iron-removed bauxite residues with phosphoric acid for enrichment of rare earth elements
(Elsevier, 2019-11-15)Bauxite residue (BR) is a hazardous industrial waste and also becomes an important reserve of rare earth elements (REE). An elegant process for achieving separation of REEs against silica from an iron-removed BR was ... -
Utilization of Soft Matter as a Structure Directing Agent for the SYnthesis of Nanostructured Materials
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-19)Sol-gel methods combined with the adaptive structuring properties of soft matter, have been used to create templates and synthesize mesoporous materials or nanoparticles from them. For example, micelles formed with non-ionic ...
