Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen
  • Carbon dioxide

Ping'an Peng mainly focuses on Environmental chemistry, Environmental engineering, Soil water, Carbon and Persistent organic pollutant. In his research, he undertakes multidisciplinary study on Environmental chemistry and Coking wastewater. His research integrates issues of Pollutant, Sulfidation, Reactivity, Environmental remediation and Pollution in his study of Environmental engineering.

He works mostly in the field of Soil water, limiting it down to topics relating to Sorption and, in certain cases, Kerogen, Solubility, Ecotoxicology and Partition coefficient, as a part of the same area of interest. His Carbon course of study focuses on Coal and Diagenesis, Cracking, Natural gas, Natural gas field and Carbonate. His Persistent organic pollutant study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Estuary, Sediment and Air pollution.

His most cited work include:

  • Distribution of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in sediments of the Pearl River Delta and adjacent South China Sea. (481 citations)
  • Persistent organic pollutants in environment of the Pearl River Delta, China: an overview (350 citations)
  • Effects of organic matter heterogeneity on sorption and desorption of organic contaminants by soils and sediments (339 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Ping'an Peng mainly investigates Environmental chemistry, Mineralogy, Organic matter, Pyrolysis and Carbon. His studies deal with areas such as Environmental engineering, Soil water, Aerosol, Particulates and Mass spectrometry as well as Environmental chemistry. His work is dedicated to discovering how Aerosol, Sulfate are connected with Inorganic chemistry and other disciplines.

His study focuses on the intersection of Mineralogy and fields such as Oil shale with connections in the field of Geochemistry. His Organic matter study frequently involves adjacent topics like Total organic carbon. His Pyrolysis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Kerogen, Hydrocarbon, Methane and Isotopes of carbon.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental chemistry (27.56%)
  • Mineralogy (14.49%)
  • Organic matter (14.20%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Environmental chemistry (27.56%)
  • Organic matter (14.20%)
  • Geochemistry (11.36%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Environmental chemistry, Organic matter, Geochemistry, Carbon and Oil shale. Ping'an Peng combines subjects such as Sediment, Pollution and Coal with his study of Environmental chemistry. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Organic matter, focusing on Dissolution and, on occasion, Swelling, Solvent, Aromatic hydrocarbon and Chemical structure.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Sedimentary depositional environment, Structural basin, Hopanoids, Source rock and Isotopes of carbon in addition to Geochemistry. The various areas that Ping'an Peng examines in his Oil shale study include Compaction, Maturity, Mineralogy, Kerogen and Pyrolysis. His Mineralogy study also includes

  • Carbonate which intersects with area such as Diagenesis,
  • Hydrocarbon which connect with Sulfate.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Influence of pyrolysis temperature and feedstock on carbon fractions of biochar produced from pyrolysis of rice straw, pine wood, pig manure and sewage sludge (50 citations)
  • Brominated and organophosphate flame retardants along a sediment transect encompassing the Guiyu, China e-waste recycling zone. (31 citations)
  • Abundance and Light Absorption Properties of Brown Carbon Emitted from Residential Coal Combustion in China. (22 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Oxygen
  • Carbon dioxide

Environmental chemistry, Combustion, Organic matter, Sediment and Pyrolysis are his primary areas of study. His Environmental chemistry research focuses on Dissolved organic carbon in particular. In his work, Chloride, Nitrate, Sulfate, Oxalate and Inorganic chemistry is strongly intertwined with Carbon, which is a subfield of Combustion.

His Organic matter research also works with subjects such as

  • Geochemistry which is related to area like Structural basin, Paleoclimatology, Paleogene and Biomarker,
  • Sedimentary depositional environment which is related to area like Pristane, Hopanoids, Sterane and Source rock. He has researched Sediment in several fields, including Bay, Estuary, Organophosphate, Dominance and Tetrabromobisphenol A. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Carbon sequestration, Manure, Oil shale and Photodegradation.
