Jun Luo works in engineering focused on extracting and recovering valuable metals from ores, industrial byproducts, and waste materials such as red mud, coal fly ash, and spent lithium-ion batteries. The research combines hydrometallurgy (using chemical solutions to dissolve and separate metals) and roasting/leaching processes with catalyst development for applications like pollution control and clean energy. A recurring theme is turning waste streams into useful products through closed-loop, sustainable processing.
