S. Kaliappan's research focuses on the development of sustainable biofuel production technologies, with a primary emphasis on enhancing hydrolysis processes and improving anaerobic digestion efficiency. Recent studies have explored various kinetic and modelling approaches to optimize fermentation, biomass pretreatment, and biodegradability assessment. Additionally, investigations into biohydrogen production, synergetic treatment of algal biomass, and ultrasound-assisted microwave disintegration of sludge biomass have demonstrated promising results. The work has significant implications for the energy sector, as it seeks to address pressing issues related to waste management, greenhouse gas emissions, and the development of renewable energy sources.
