Prof. Omelon's work focuses on phosphorus capture from waste in a form that can be re-used. She works with municipal waste from the ROPEC, precipitating carbonate apatite from anaerobic digestate with CO2 captured with a limestone-water mixture. This process will divert phosphate from an unusable iron phosphate product found in biosolids to a carbonate apatite product that could be used by phosphorus fertilizer producers. She is also pursuing a research program into the effects of carbon dioxide on cement hydration reactions and kinetics.
