Vincenzo VAIANO | Curriculum

Vincenzo Vaiano is Associate Professor of Industrial Chemistry at Department of Industrial Engineering of University of Salerno. In March 2006 he received the title of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Chemical Engineering (Thesis: "Heterogeneous Photocatalytic Selective Oxidation of Cyclohexane"). In 2005, he conducted research activities at the University of Bradford (UK) under the supervision of prof. Roger I. Bickley (pioneer in the field of heterogeneous photocatalysis and author of several scientific papers dealing on heterogeneous photocatalysts). prof. Vaiano is member of the editorial board of "Journal of Advanced Chemical Engineering" (ISSN: 2090-4568), "Journal of Advanced Engineering" (ISSN 2576-8506), "Catalysts" (ISSN 2073-4344), “Nanomaterials” (ISSN: 2079-4991) and “Frontiers in Environmental Chemistry (Electronic ISSN: 2673-4486)”. He published more than 190 papers on International Journals (h-index 39 from SCOPUS). He is a reviewer for several international scientific journals such as: Catalysis Today, Chemical Engineering Journal, Applied Catalysis A, Applied Catalysis B, Chemosphere, Chemical Engineering Science, Solid State and Material Science, Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research, International Journal of Hydrogen Energy and Water Research.

The main research lines are: photocatalysis for sustainable chemistry, photocatalytic and photo-Fenton processes for pollutant removal in wastewater, catalytic combustion of sewage sludge, decomposition and oxidative decomposition of H2S.
