Background

Nature-based rehabilitation science and technology, with a focus on ecological engineering of mine wastes (e.g., AMD-waste rocks, tailings (coal tailings, magnetite tailings, bauxite residues (or red mud), Cu/Pb-Zn tailings)) into earth materials (e.g., soil, engineered rocks) and resilient landforms for cost-effective sustainable rehabilitation at mine waste landscapes.

Professor Huang is a full professor and the group leader of Ecological Engineering in Mining, in the Sustainable Minerals Institute, University of Queensland. Since 2010, Prof Huang has pioneered new concepts and technological framework to manage and rehabilitate mine wastes (e.g., tailings, acidic and metalliferous waste rocks), through putting pedogenesis in engineering nutshell, i.e., eco-engineering of pedogenesis in mine wastes. He is leading an industry-enaged and interdisciplinary research group that is partnered with leading mining companies and empowered by multidisciplinary knowledge and skills on: environmental molecular microbiology, environmental mineralogy, soil science, native plant rhizosphere (micro)biology, soil-plant relations, and bio-chemical engineering of environmental materials (e.g., functional carbon and mineral absorbents, environmental geopolymers).

He is highly experienced in industry-partnered research and translation of knowledge into field-based technologies for tackling large environmental challenges in the mining industry, for example, technologies for tackling global tailings problem. Since 2010, he has led many large and industry-partnered research projects attracting about $21M funding. The research aims to deliver transformative knowledge and practices (i.e., technologies/methdologies) in the rehabilitation of mine wastes (e.g., tailings, mineral residues, spoils, waste rocks) and mined landscapes for non-polluting and ecologically and financially sustainable outcomes. Prof Huang has successfully demonstrated innovative methodology and technology to achieve nature-based outcomes in treating and rehabilitating tailings and waste rocks. Prof Huang’s research program was featured in Rio Tinto’s media releases as one of the four most successful global R&D partnerships in 2024. Prof Huang led the development of the first field-feasible technology to treat and dealkalize alkaline bauxite residues for sustainable rehabilitation. His industry-partnered research was recognised in 2019 UQ’s Partners in Research Excellence Award (Resilient Environments) (Rio Tinto and QAL). Prof Huang is also developing new knowledge and technologies for achieving non-polluting and ecologically sustainable rehabilitation of, for example, coal mine spoils and tailings, Fe-ore tailings, bauxite tailings (from mining bauxite), and Cu/Pb-Zn tailings.

Research interests

  • Environmental geopolymers for pollution control and ecological rehabilitation

    This research aims to translate knowledge and skills in chemical and mineral engineering into engineering environmental materials from tailings and mineral residues, for pollution control and ecological rehabilitation of mine waste domains.

  • Ecological engineering of technosols from tailings for functional soil systems to support native plant systems

    This research investigates biogenic factors (e.g., extremophiles, bacteria, fungi, and roots) in bioweathering of tailings minerals and associated biogeochemical processes and to develop new technology and methodology for rehabilitating metal mine tailings. The emerging technology and methodology are expected to deliver the much needed knowledge and know-how to speed up the rehabilitation of mine tailings, such as rare earth mineral (clay-exchangeable type) tailings, magnetite/hematite iron ore tailings, coal tailings, porphyry Cu tailings, and red mud .

  • Technosol-plant relations: rhizosphere mechanisms of colonising plant species

    This investigates microbial and biochemcial mechanisms in the rhizosphere of pioneer and native keystone plant species colonising technosols eco-engineered from tailings.

  • Physiological ecology of native metallophytes in metal mined environments and tailing-technosols

    Focuses on the understanding of rhizosphere mechanisms and metal(loid) mobilization/uptake in native metallophytes and tolerant species which are often used to revegetate pioneer plant communities. It aims to identify native plant species which can effectively phytostablize metal mine tailings and land heavily contaminated by AMD.

  • Bio-weathering of reactive minerals in mine wastes

    This project investigate microbial and rhizosphere processes in catalyzing the weatherting of reactive primary minerals (such as pyrite and sodalites) in mine/mineral wastes (such as sulfidic tailings, bauxite residues). Research will focus on the genetic diversity and molecular funationalities of native microbes and plants, which are preferably indegenious to local environments at mine sites.

Research impacts

Proferssor Longbin Huang pioneered a new way to tackle the pollution control and ecological rehabilitation of mine/mineral wastes, for achieving non-polluting and sustainable outcomes of mine waste rehabilitation, in a cost-effective manner. Longbin's new conceptual model of ecological engineering of soil and rock formaiton in mine wastes and a technological framework of eco-engineering mineral transformation, have resulted in most recent technological breakthroughs (such ase eco-engineered soil formation in Fe-ore tailings and bauxite residues, (bio)-chemcial engineering of mineral cementation and hardpan cap), which are finding way into industry assimilation and adoption. Research outcomes over the past decade have started to transform industry's thinking and approaches to design alternative rehabilitation and closure plans of improved economics and lowered long-term risks. The new way significantly shift away from conventional and costly earth-work based engineering methdologies, which requires large amounts of covering materials to be excavated from natural landscapes.
