This $349,044 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports collaborative research to compare the concentrations and toxicity contributions of different classes of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) formed during drinking water treatment. The key objectives are to: 1) Compare DBP formation and toxicity between chlorine/chloramine disinfection and granular activated carbon treatment followed by chlorination; 2) Assess how water source, age,...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (CFDA 47.041 - Engineering) supports research at South Dakota State University to develop advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for controlling iodinated disinfection byproducts (I-DBPs) in drinking water. The $209,472 award will fund a 3-year collaborative effort to investigate the use of oxidants like ferrate, ozone, and UV photolysis to efficiently...
This Project Grant award, valued at $280,194.00 and provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry, will support a collaborative research project between the University of Utah and the University of Southern California. The project aims to study the chemical processes that occur when chlorine is added to wastewater to remove harmful bacteria and viruses, as this can lead to the unintended production of toxic aldehydes. The key goals are to determine the kinetics,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) has awarded a $482,351 Project Grant to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct research on the impacts of drinking water treatment and distribution processes on the survival and pathogenesis of water-associated pathogens, such as nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). The project aims to investigate how different drinking water treatment train configurations and associated chemical oxidant stressors influence the functional...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA 47.041, Engineering, provides $241,750 to the University of Missouri System to research the transformation mechanisms and products of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) during water disinfection processes. The 3-year project, running from August 2024 to July 2027, aims to determine how PFAS and their precursors react with common disinfectants like chlorine and ozone during drinking water treatment. The research...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $221,627 Project Grant under its Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to conduct research on the transformation mechanisms and products of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) during drinking water disinfection processes. The 3-year project, beginning August 1, 2024, will investigate how PFAS compounds react with common disinfectants like chlorine and ozone. This research aims to improve...
This $262,158 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (CBET) will fund research at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology to develop advanced oxidation processes for controlling the formation of iodinated disinfection byproducts (I-DBPs) in drinking water treatment. The key objectives are to: 1) investigate the use of advanced oxidation processes like ferrate, ozone, and UV to optimize the...
This $150,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems will fund research at the University of South Carolina from August 2021 through July 2024 related to optimizing the removal of cyanotoxins from water through UV/chlorine treatment processes. The goal is to develop strategies that minimize the formation of disinfection byproducts and reduce toxicity, in alignment with the NSF Directorate for Engineering's...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $280,000 Project Grant to the Texas A&M University System Health Science Center under the NSF Engineering (CFDA #47.041) program. The grant supports a 3-year collaborative research project to advance the fundamental understanding of using visible light to activate peroxydisulfate and generate sulfate radicals for the degradation and mineralization of organic micropollutants in water treatment and wastewater reclamation. The project aims to measure...
This $650,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) supports the development of engineered microbial sensors for assessing water quality. The primary objective is to create new low-cost sensing systems that can detect chemicals in water throughout the water cycle, including wastewater treatment, drinking water, industrial use, and stormwater discharges. The project employs a convergence research...
