The National Science Foundation awarded a $415,814 Project Grant to the University of Illinois under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant will support research to evaluate hydrothermal liquefaction as a strategy for simultaneously destroying per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that accumulate in sewage sludge from water resource recovery facilities, while recovering liquid fuel and nutrients. Over three years, university researchers will conduct experiments to...
This $449,919 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research by the West Virginia University Research Corporation to develop surface-modified membranes for recovering key fertilizer macronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium from wastewater. The goal is to enable efficient recovery of these valuable nutrients, while preventing their release into the environment and reducing reliance on energy-intensive...
This $301,751 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports a collaborative research project to develop new sensor technologies for detecting and measuring phosphorus in the environment. The key objectives are to: Design and develop molecular "receptor" elements that can selectively bind to various phosphorus compounds; Integrate these receptor elements with semiconductor technologies to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $365,000 to Purdue University from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027. The funding supports a collaborative research project between Professors Alexander Laskin at Purdue University and Jonas Baltrusaitis at Lehigh University and their students to advance fundamental knowledge about the environmental chemistry and catalytic properties of struvite, a common...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), will provide $400,000.00 in funding to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to develop a sustainable electrochemical recycling method for recovering and reusing important industrial homogeneous catalysts. The project aims to: (i) design nanostructured, high-accessibility electrosorbents for recovering various palladium-based homogeneous catalysts, (ii) investigate the nanoscale...
The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded a $450,000 project grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to develop regenerable polymers for phosphate removal and recovery from wastewater. Professor Valerie Pierre of the University of Minnesota and her research team will synthesize and study polymers and receptors that can selectively capture phosphate from polluted water and subsequently...
This $149,459 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports collaborative research between the University of Illinois and other institutions on interactions between photoreactive two-dimensional nanomaterials and biofilms. The researchers will explore the effects of emerging graphitic carbon nitride and black phosphorus nanosheets on biofilms that play an important environmental role. As photoreactive nanomaterials can produce oxidative species or...
This $313,727 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program funds a 5-year collaborative research effort to develop low-cost, portable sensors capable of accurately measuring phosphorus levels in agricultural, environmental, and marine settings. The project brings together a multidisciplinary team of researchers with expertise in areas such as supramolecular and inorganic chemistry, polymer science, soft-matter electronics, and environmental...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $650,000 Project Grant under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program to the Regents of the University of Michigan to develop a scalable plan for a circular approach to wastewater management through source separation. The project, titled "Advancing Equitable and Circular Water Solutions Through Source Separation," aims to create a system to capture valuable nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium...
The University of Illinois has received a $500,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under CFDA No. 47.041 - Engineering. The goal of this 3-year grant is to design, evaluate, and optimize an integrated electrosorption and electrocatalytic process that can selectively extract and degrade short-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from semiconductor manufacturing wastewater....
