As Fran is a member of the editorial board, she would like to promote this journal to visitors of our group website. Please go and have a look.
There are several themed issues planned. Fran will be submitting an article to one on ‘Green Solvents’. Others are planned including biorefineries, http://www.sustainablechemicalprocesses.com/about/update/biorefinerysustainableworld and magnetic nanomaterials. If you want more information of the submission process or any themed issues, please contact Fran, and she will direct you to the right person or answer your query herself.
The journal is now being indexed in Chemical Abstracts and hopefully soon it will be indexed elsewhere too. Below are the aims and scopes of the journal.
********
Sustainable Chemical Processes is a peer reviewed open access journal covering both scientific and engineering aspects of sustainable approaches in chemistry. The broad scope includes, but is not necessarily limited to:
- Green routes to isolation, purification and synthesis of organic, inorganic or organometallic compounds and materials
- All aspects of catalysis (including use of nanosized materials) and biocatalysis that lead to sustainable processes. The latter includes biocatalysis in various reaction media. It also includes bioseparation, stabilization and engineering aspects
- Biomass conversion and use of renewable resources (including valorization of agricultural and industrial waste)
- Biofuels, biorefineries, and other alternative sources of energy (such as H2 generation and storage, solar cells, fuel cells and photovoltaic cells)
- Process intensification including flow chemistry
- Green metrics and sustainability assessment of products and processes (including LCA methods)
- Microwave and ultrasonic assisted reactions in chemistry, biochemistry and material science
- Nanotechnology that enhances the sustainability aspects of processes
- Green electronics and sensors
- Approaches to reduce water consumption in chemical processes
- CO2 capture processes

Yi Liu (PhD student, Kerton group) will soon see some of her work in press in RSC Advances – this work is in collaboration with Professor Ning Yan and his student Chen Xi at NUS. Dr. Kerton visited them last summer to discuss this research in person.

Research from Hart’s first year as a graduate student at MUN has been accepted for publication in Dalton Transactions and is available as an accepted manuscript (pre-proof) via the following link: Dalton Transactions, 2015, DOI: 10.1039/C5DT00220F
Congratulations to Immanuel too. He contributed to this work during his time here as a DAAD RISE Worldwide student/intern last summer.

Sometimes it can seem that chemistry graduate students find it difficult to find permanent positions in a chemistry-related field in industry….especially when you are in the process of applying for jobs.
We are delighted to say that Hassan Kalviri (PhD, 2011, Kerton Group) and Khaled Omari (PhD, 2012, Kerton Group) have obtained excellent jobs. Hassan is a senior chemist at a natural products company. Khaled will be finishing his NSERC visiting-fellowship with Agriculture and Agrifood Canada soon and will become a laboratory supervisor for an analytical chemistry company. Congratulations. We are proud of you!
