Journal Article
Ward, R. A., Kocsis, D., & Wadhawan, J. D. (2023). Oxidative Dissolution of Lithium and Manganese from Lithium Manganospinel (LiMn 2 O 4 ): Towards Climate-Smart Processes for Critical Metal Recycling. Energy advances, https://doi.org/10.1039/d2ya00196a

This work reports the oxidative breakdown of the LiMn2O4 structure using alkaline hypochlorite, as a method for recovering both lithium and manganese species. The heterogeneous dissolution rate for this process is monitored through the formation of t...

Empowering clean water whilst safeguarding water distribution pipeline integrity: Towards manganese- and iron-free lime hydrate for water treatment (2023)
Journal Article
Wadhawan, J. D., Kocsis, D., Meyer, C., Ward, R., Thompson, M., Prior, T. J., Kelly, S. M., & Lawrence, N. (2023). Empowering clean water whilst safeguarding water distribution pipeline integrity: Towards manganese- and iron-free lime hydrate for water treatment. Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology, https://doi.org/10.1039/d2ew00109h

Hydrated limes are amongst the most economically valuable alkalis used by the water industry for the treatment of potable water. They are typically manufactured from the thermal decomposition of high purity limestones. However, the latter contain bot...

Unravelling the Occurrence of Mediator-Blood Protein Interactions via the Redox Catalysis of the Physiological Gasotransmitter Hydrogen Sulfide (2021)
Journal Article
Ward, H. J., Ward, R. A., Lawrence, N. S., & Wadhawan, J. D. (2021). Unravelling the Occurrence of Mediator-Blood Protein Interactions via the Redox Catalysis of the Physiological Gasotransmitter Hydrogen Sulfide. ChemistrySelect, 6(37), 10059-10062. https://doi.org/10.1002/slct.202102974

Ferrocenemethanol is employed as an aqueous, homogeneous redox mediator for hydrogen sulfide. The reaction is seen to follow an EC’ mechanism over the range 6≤pH≤9, with bisulfide reacting four times more rapidly than hydrogen sulfide. In the presenc...
