Biography

Long Cang, born in 1978, PhD, associate professor. In 2002, he graduated from the School of Resources and Environmental Sciences, Nanjing Agricultural University, with a Master's degree in agronomy. In 2009, he received a PhD degree from Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Since 2002, he has been working in the Department of  Environmental Protection of Institute of Soil Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences. 

His main research areas are soil environmental chemistry and pollution control. The main research work includes: 1)  the experimental apparatus and in-situ remediation equipment of EK remediation were developed; 2) In-situ oxidation remediation technology based on EK-driven oxidant migration was established, which effectively improved the transport efficiency of oxidants in low permeability soil; 3) A new foliar agent was invented and a variety of low-cost, single and compound foliar agents were obtained; 4) The field demonstration of EK remediation of contaminated soil was carried out, and the soil properties and ecological functions after remediation were evaluated.

Up to now, 48 SCI papers have been published (1259 citations in total), and 5 patents have been applied. He has supported by three National Natural Science Foundation Fund of China and won the second prize of the Jiangsu province Environmental protection science and technology prize (ranked second). He also was the reviewer of international journals, such as Chemical Engineering Journal, Soil Biology and Biochemistry, Environmental Pollution, Chemosphere, Scientific Reports, and so on.
