Contributions
Dr. Imtiaz has made significant contributions to the field of pyrolysis, particularly in the study of the kinetics and thermodynamics of various materials such as high-ash sewage sludge, coconut shell waste, rice husk, sugarcane bagasse, Red Sea seaweed, dried oily sludge, and lignocellulosic biomass. He has utilized techniques such as thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and artificial neural networks to analyze the thermal behavior, kinetics, and thermodynamic parameters of pyrolysis processes.
Dr. Imtiaz has also explored the potential of pyrolysis as an effective method for energy production from solid waste and biomass. He has investigated the synergistic effects of co-pyrolysis processes, examining the combined pyrolysis of different materials to enhance the recovery of organic materials. He has contributed to the understanding of reaction mechanisms and activation energies in pyrolysis processes, employing both model-free and model-fitting methods for analysis. Additionally, he has evaluated the properties and performance of blended membranes for various applications, such as desalination and water treatment.
Dr. Imtiaz's research has been published in reputable journals, contributing to the scientific literature in the field of pyrolysis and related topics.
