Research Fields

• High-value utilization of agricultural and forestry waste biomass resources

• Resource recycling of solid waste

• Remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soil

Research Overview

My research mainly focuses on the high-value utilization of waste biomass resources, involving the technological development and application of preparing biofuels, high-value-added chemicals and functional materials from agricultural and forestry waste biomass through chemical or biological conversion. Meanwhile, I am committed to the efficient degradation and resource recovery of solid waste, exploring its sustainable application paths under the circular economy model. In addition, aiming at the problem of soil heavy metal pollution, I adopt technologies such as chemical immobilization and bioremediation to reduce the heavy metal content in soil, restore soil ecological functions, and realize the safe utilization and ecological remediation of contaminated soil.
