Evaluation and characterisation of metal sorption and retention by drinking water treatment residuals (WTRs) for environmental remediation (2021)
Journal Article
Arab, K., Thompson, D., & Oliver, I. (2021). Evaluation and characterisation of metal sorption and retention by drinking water treatment residuals (WTRs) for environmental remediation. International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s13762-021-03674-8

Drinking water treatment residuals (WTRs) are wastes generated when water is clarified using aluminium or iron salts. They are increasingly being considered as a resource with potential reuse value, particularly in relation to soil or water remediati...

The use of metabonomics to uncover differences between the small molecule profiles of eggs from cage and barn housing systems (2019)
Journal Article
Thompson. (2019). The use of metabonomics to uncover differences between the small molecule profiles of eggs from cage and barn housing systems. Food Control, 165-170. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodcont.2019.01.023

Metabonomic techniques have been used to observe differences in the small molecule profiles of chicken eggs, to work towards the detection, and thus prevention, of fraud regarding the misrepresentation of egg farming systems. High Performance Liquid... Read More about The use of metabonomics to uncover differences between the small molecule profiles of eggs from cage and barn housing systems.
