研究方向与兴趣领域

研究方向：表界面地球化学、环境矿物学、土壤修复技术

兴趣领域：

   （1）矿物-水溶液界面的原位分析方法建立与地球化学反应动力学

 研究矿物-水溶液界面发生吸附、溶解、沉淀等反应，侧重于应用先进的同步辐射技术(EXAFS)、核磁共振波谱技术(NMR)和金属稳定同位素（Stable Metal Isotope）等先进地球化学分析技术研究元素在矿物表面的配位结构、分子构型等微观地球化学机制，阐明典型元素在矿水界面的微观作用机理，为理解关键地质过程提供理论支撑。

（2） 分子尺度的关键元素原位赋存状态及其生物地球化学循环

  磷元素是重要的生命元素和地球活动元素，其赋存形态或同位素特征记录着重要的地质活动信息，同步辐射技术可以克服传统的化学提取法的局限，从微区角度对地质样品中的元素分布实现原位分析，并提供了目标元素的微观化学信息，精确鉴定目标元素的化学形态或矿物相态，为磷元素的生物地球化学循环提供基础信息。

（3）污染土壤与地下水的修复原理与技术

  侧重研究低成本非金属矿物（磷酸钙、凹凸棒石、沸石等）修复铅锌矿物污染土壤污染的环境过程、作用机理、和技术路线以及风险评价，从而建立一套完整的污染场地的固化修复技术及修复工艺流程。
