Research Interests
- Pollution control chemistry. Study the transformation behavior of organic pollutants in water and soil environment during photochemical and chemical oxidation process, explore the promoting effect of environmental components on pollutants degradation, develop efficient and environment friendly advanced oxidation treatment process, and reveal the transformation mechanism of pollutants with the assistance of theoretical calculations to provide theoretical basis for related researches on environmental behavior and environmental risk control of pollutant.
- Environment theory chemistry. Establish the predictive models of various properties of all kinds of pollutants using 2D- and 3D-QSAR to explore the main factors influencing properties and toxicity mechanisms of organic pollutants from the molecular structure level, which would provide theoretical guidance for the treatment and risk assessment of organic pollutants.
