This $415,661.18 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the Water Desalination Research and Development program (CFDA 15.506) aims to develop a new approach to selectively remove and degrade per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water. The project involves synthesizing, characterizing, and testing a metal-organic framework (MOF) material to selectively remove PFAS, and then using the MOF's electrical conductivity to facilitate...
The U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $557,406.76 Cooperative Agreement to William Marsh Rice University under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560). The goal of this 18-month project, with an estimated completion date of September 2025, is to further evaluate the effectiveness of boron nitride-based photocatalytic materials for the destruction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in brackish groundwater and reverse osmosis...
The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $483,623.40 Cooperative Agreement (R24AC00493) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) under the Water Desalination Research and Development Program (CFDA 15.506). The project aims to optimize coagulation and flocculation processes for the removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water and wastewater. The research proposes to utilize hydrophobic ion-pairing as a pretreatment to enhance the removal of both short-chain and long-chain...
This Cooperative Agreement award, with a total funding amount of $602,500.00, was provided by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560). The project aims to treat two aquifers contaminated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), making them unsuitable for use under current standards. Key areas of investigation include understanding the impact of inorganic ions on PFAS removal, exploring the benefits...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560) provides $415,091.10 to the Orange County Water District (OCWD) to evaluate the feasibility of removing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from reverse osmosis concentrate. The project will assess the effectiveness of treating reverse osmosis concentrate using adsorbent media like granular activated carbon and ion...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation, under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560), provides $311,880.59 to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to demonstrate the use of hydrophobic ion-pairing to enhance the removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from contaminated groundwater through a pilot-scale granular activated carbon (GAC) treatment system. The project aims to optimize the...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $236,645 awarded on March 15, 2022 supports research and development of an advanced electrochemical system for degradation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The awardee, Elateq, Inc. of Amherst, MA, will design and test a novel cathodic treatment prototype employing reductive and oxidative electrodes and catalyst-coating materials to break down PFAS contaminants in water through electrochemically-induced reduction and...
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $391,660.68 Cooperative Agreement to the Regents of the University of California, Riverside (UC Riverside) under the Water Desalination Research and Development program (CFDA 15.506). The goal of this 2-year project is to test a novel vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light-driven photochemical process for treating nitrate and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from inland desalination brine. The project will develop an innovative VUV system to overcome...
The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $500,277.45 Cooperative Agreement to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) under the Water Desalination Research and Development Program (CFDA 15.506).
