Rate My Professor Terry Wall

Wall's research focuses on coal combustion, ash formation and deposition, mineral transformations, particle ignition, radiative heat transfer, fly ash behaviour, and low-emission technologies including oxy-fuel combustion, chemical looping, carbon capture and storage, pulverised coal injection to blast furnaces, coking coal evaluation, and emissions control for sulfur, NOx, and mercury. Key publications include the book 'The Impact of Mineral Impurities in Solid Fuel Combustion' (1999, co-authored with R.P. Gupta and L.L. Baxter), and influential papers such as 'An overview on oxy-fuel coal combustion: State of the art research and technology development' (Chemical Engineering Research and Design, 2009), 'Combustion processes for carbon capture' (Proceedings of the Combustion Institute, 2007), and 'Sulphur impacts during pulverised coal combustion in oxy-fuel technology for carbon capture and storage' (Progress in Energy and Combustion Science, 2011). He serves on the editorial boards of Combustion Science and Technology, Fuel, and the IFRF Online Combustion Journal, with a special issue of Fuel dedicated to him in June 2005. His contributions have significantly influenced coal industry practices and environmental controls globally. Major awards include Member of the Order of Australia (AM, 2001) for service to the coal industry and education, Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (2002), Percy Nicholls Solid Fuels Award (first Australian recipient), ESSO Award for excellence in Chemical Engineering (1997), Bryers Award (2004), John Chipman Award of the US Iron and Steel Society, Pitt Award for Innovation in Coal Conversion (2003), and Baragwanath Award (2013).
