Scholar-generated biography
Xiaoyun Xu's research focuses on the environmental applications of biochar, particularly in the removal of heavy metals and contaminants from aqueous solutions and soil. Their work explores the role of biochar's mineral components, electron-donating capacity, and surface chemistry in enhancing contaminant removal and immobilization. Xu investigates the impact of biochar aging, pyrolysis temperature, and synthesis methods on its functional properties. Additionally, they examine microplastics' behavior in soil-groundwater systems, including their aging, migration, and co-transport of pollutants. The research also addresses the use of biochar as an electron donor and shuttle for reducing Cr (VI) and the catalytic degradation of pharmaceuticals like sulfamethoxazole.
