This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant awarded to Prag LLC through the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program supports the development of a bioreactor system to recycle polystyrene foam waste into an organic fertilizer product. The $274,718 award aims to demonstrate a process for converting the ubiquitous polystyrene waste, which often ends up in landfills or waterways, into a nutrient-rich soil amendment through thermal and biological methods. The...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $275,000 Project Grant under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program to TPL LLC, a small disadvantaged business, to develop and test a novel reactor for fast iron carbonylation. This process aims to extract and purify iron, nickel, and other critical metals from mixed-material industrial wastes and ores more efficiently than current methods. The project will demonstrate the ability of the fast carbonylation reactor to...
This Project Grant award for $382,214, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports research to develop a systems-level framework for analyzing organic waste lifecycles at the interface of food, energy, and water systems (OWL-FEWS). The key products and services to be delivered include: Development of a dynamic model of organic waste lifecycles at a regional level Development and testing of organic food waste co-products for energy, soil...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award of $275,000 to Triangle Environmental Health Initiative LLC (Tri-Ehi) aims to develop a selective ion separation and recovery technology for wastewater treatment. The project focuses on optimizing technical design for maximum solute selectivity and concentration, evaluating separation performance with representative wastewaters, and scaling up the system for future...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $249,999 Project Grant to William Marsh Rice University under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program. The grant supports the development of an advanced materials-based technology to permanently destroy toxic and persistent per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The project aims to optimize a photocatalysis-based approach that uses only light to degrade PFAS, without requiring chemical additives. The...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program provides $1,162,886 to Prag LLC to develop an integrated system that converts mixed plastic waste into nutrient-rich agricultural products, primarily worm castings. The project aims to address the growing problem of plastic waste by chemically and biologically transforming difficult-to-recycle plastics into a valuable fertilizer that can improve soil...
This $305,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.084 - NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships) to Spearstone Solutions, LLC supports the development of an innovative, eco-friendly process technology to separate radioactive contaminants from phosphogypsum, a problematic waste byproduct of fertilizer production. The project aims to safely isolate and dispose of the radioactive components, while converting the remaining gypsum into economically viable...
