Additional information

XUE Sheng-guo Prof. XUE Sheng-guo is a professor at Central South University. He serves as the director of Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, School of Metallurgy and Environment, CSU. His research is supported by the Environmental Protection’s Special Scientific Research for Chinese Public Welfare Industry and National Natural Science Foundation of China.

During the last five years, he has achieved a series of innovative outcomes in the field of soil formation and ecological rehabilitation in bauxite residue. He sets up the first domestic research group on soil formation of bauxite residue, and leads the research direction of large-scale and ecological disposal with bauxite residue in China. His group has demonstrated that natural weathering processes could improve physical and chemical properties of bauxite residue and convert it to a soil-like medium. Furthermore, several novel analytical and regulation techniques on alkaline removal, aggregation, and ecological risk control have been developed.

Prof. XUE has published more than 130 papers in Chinese or international journals, 60 of which are indexed by SCI.
