Kalliat T Valsaraj is a chemical engineer professor.
Among his authored works are his publications in academic journals, including Environmental Science & Technology and Journal of Chemical & Engineering Data[1] as well as books such as Elements of Environmental Engineering: Thermodynamics and Kinetics.[2] Moreover, he is the recipient of 2012 Charles E Coates Award, which was jointly awarded by American Institute of Chemical Engineers and the American Chemical Society.[3]
In one of his books titled Elements of Environmental Engineering: Thermodynamics and Kinetics, he explored the applications of chemical thermodynamics and kinetics in environmental engineering, providing a multidisciplinary perspective on the theoretical foundations, limitations, and practical aspects involved in fate and transport modeling, pollution control design, and waste treatment processes.[2] In another book titled Atmospheric Aerosols: Characterization, Chemistry, Modeling, and Climate, he explored the multifaceted aspects of atmospheric aerosols, covering their physical characterization, chemistry, and modeling, with specific chapters addressing morphology, chemical reactivity, radiative effects, and environmental impacts post-Hurricane Katrina.[4]
Valsaraj holds three patents, including developing a remediation method for dense nonaqueous-phase liquid contaminants in the Earth's subsurface.[5]
