Summary

Jost Wendt is internationally recognized for his wide-ranging research on reduction of emissions from combustion processes. His research within both academia and EPA laboratories, has led to reburning for NOx control, to mitigation of waste incinerator emissions through control of transient puffs and rogue droplets, to the management of fine particle and toxic metal emissions using sorbents, and to development of the new interdisciplinary environmental research field of Health Effects Engineering.
Jost Wendt is also internationally recognized for his research leading to the reduction of nitrogen oxide, fine particle and toxic metal emissions from pulverized coal combustion. His pioneering work on reburning for NOx control has been implemented in many full-scale coal boilers, thus promoting the clean combustion of coal worldwide.
