2、Dr./Prof. Pan Ming Huang主要学术贡献
The long-term direction of the research program is to advance the frontiers of knowledge at the molecular level on the nature, mechanisms of formation and transformation, and nano-scale surface chemistry of mineral and humic colloids and mineral-humic complexes of soils and sediments pertaining to the transformations, dynamics, and fate of nutrients, metals, metalloids, and organic pollutants in terrestrial and freshwater ecosystesms. The research findings are expected to be of fundamental significance to the development of innovative strategies for managing land and water resources aimed at creating sustainable and safe food supply and protecting environmental quality and ecosystem integrity including human health.
Professor Huang is a leading international authority on environmental soil chemistry, with emphasis on mineral colloids and organo-mineral complexes, their reactions with nutrients and pollutants in soils and waters and the impact on ecosystem health. He has pioneered extensive chemical, spectroscopic, and ultramicroscopic research on the formation mechanisms of short-range ordered (poorly crystalline) mineral colloids which are extremely reactive in governing the accumulation, transport, and bioavailability of nutrients and pollutants in the environment. He has done groundbreaking work in establishing mineral catalysis mechanisms of transformations of biomolecules such as sugars, phenolic compounds and amino acids, and the resulting formation of humic substances which are essential for maintaining and for enhancing the productivity of the land and are also vital in influencing the dynamics and fate of environmental pollutants. Further, his cutting-edge research has advanced the world’s knowledge on the chemistry and behavior of vital and toxic inorganic ions and organic compounds in soils and freshwaters and their impact on agricultural sustainability and ecosystem protection. His research accomplishments, embodied in over 300 refereed publications, of which nine were published in Nature (London), are fundamental to the development of innovative strategies for managing land and water resources.
In Professor Huang’s research on the impact of toxic materials in the environment, he emphasizes the harmful effects of ions such as cadmium, arsenic, and mercury in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Because these ions can be taken up by freshwater biota and crop plants, the significance of his work has extended to human and animal health. For example, his laboratory was the first in the world to show the ability of manganese oxides to convert toxic arsenite to much less toxic arsenate through abiotic catalysis. Further, because of substantial uptake of cadmium by cereal crops, his research has contributed to the development of land resource management strategies to enhance the quality of Canadian grains and their competitiveness in international markets.
Professor Huang has written 2 books, edited 15 books, and successfully trained and inspired Ph.D. and M.Sc. students and postdoctoral fellows, and hosted numerous international visiting scientists. Besides his significant contributions to the training of highly qualified personnel and outstanding research accomplishments in fundamental soil and environmental sciences, as founding Chair of both the Working Group “Interactions of Soil Minerals with Organic Components and Microorganisms” and Commission 2.5 Soil Interfacial Reactions of the International Union of Soil Sciences, Professor Huang is instrumental in promoting worldwide research leading to integration of knowledge on mineral colloids, organic matter, and microorganisms, and its impact on agricultural production, environmental sustainability, and ecosystem health.
Very recently Professor Huang served as Editor of Soil Chemistry section of the Handbook of Soil Science (Editor-in-Chief, M.E. Sumner, 2000, CRC Press, Boca Raton). The section addresses the issues on the fundamentals of soil chemical reactions and processes and their impact on the terrestrial ecosystem. This handbook assembles the core of knowledge from all fields encompassed within the discipline of Soil Science and is, thus, a comprehensive reference work on the discipline of Soil Science as practiced today.
Further, Professor Huang has served as Titular Member of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). He is instrumental in the publication of the first and foremost book on soil particles entitled “Structure and Surface Reactions of Soil Particles” in the IUPAC series of Analytical and Physical Chemistry of Environmental Systems. This book addresses the basics of structure and physicochemical and biochemical reactions of soils. It has also provided a basis for stimulating further research to uncover the dynamics and mechanisms of environmental processes in nature. Fundamental understanding of soil structure and surface reactions at the molecular and microscopic level is essential for restoring ecosystem health of the planet Earth. More recently he has been invited to serve as Series Editor of the newly created IUPAC Book Series “Biophysico-Chemical Processes in Environmental Systems” to promote research and education on physical, chemical, and biological interfacial interaction in the environment on a global scale.
