Research Areas

        The research of our group focuses on the transport and transformation of emerging organic contaminants in soils and sediments, especially phthalate esters, antibiotics and personal care products. We also study the reactivities of soil constituents in pollutant degradation, including clay minerals, soil organic materials and metal oxides. Now, we are working on soil persistant free radicals on reactive free radical formation and contaminants degradation, developing new instruments to synthesis or analysis persistant free radiacls.
