About
Weilin Huang is a professor affiliated with Rutgers University, with a research focus on environmental science and technology. His work primarily involves the study of sorption processes in soils and sediments, including the development of distributed reactivity models for sorption, and the investigation of organic matter heterogeneity, hysteresis, and phase-distribution relationships under nonequilibrium conditions. His research also encompasses the quantification and characterization of black carbon and kerogen in soils and sediments, as well as the interactions of organic pollutants with geosorbent organic matter. Professor Huang has contributed to understanding the effects of organic matter heterogeneity on sorption and desorption of contaminants, the influence of mineral domain characteristics, and the role of reactive oxygen species in persulfate activation. His work extends to the transformation and immobilization of heavy metals, the aggregation kinetics of nanoplastics, and the reductive transformation of organic pollutants such as tetrabromobisphenol A. His research provides insights into contaminant interactions, environmental remediation, and the chemical speciation of trace metals, making significant contributions to environmental chemistry and engineering.
