This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation totals $225,063 and supports research entitled "ERASE-PFAS: COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: NICKEL AND PALLADIUM SINGLE-ATOM ELECTROCATALYSTS FOR SELECTIVE CAPTURE AND DESTRUCTION OF PFAS IN COMPLEX WATER MATRICES" at Clarkson University. The grant, awarded on August 1, 2021 under the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), will fund development of nickel and palladium single-atom electrocatalysts for...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $150,000 to Claremont McKenna College to discover enzymatic pathways to break carbon-fluorine bonds in perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFAS). PFAS are a group of persistent chemicals that are costly to remove from the environment. The project aims to engineer special enzymes that can degrade these stable chemical bonds, which could unlock new technologies for PFAS remediation in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports a collaborative research project on plasma-assisted dehalogenation of persistent halogen-containing waste streams. The $422,719 award to Clarkson University, spanning September 2023 through August 2027, aims to develop innovative plasma-based processes for recycling or fully mineralizing halogenated waste components like chlorofluorocarbons, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $499,997 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the Regents of the University of Michigan to fund research aimed at advancing the use of persulfate and powdered activated carbon for in situ capture and destruction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contaminating groundwater. The 3-year project will: 1) evaluate reaction kinetics for PFAS degradation using the persulfate/activated carbon treatment process, 2)...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) EAGER (Early-Concept Grants for Exploratory Research) project grant, awarded under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), focuses on developing new fundamental understanding and early-stage technology for energy- and cost-effective aqueous defluorination of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) using sustainable solar-assisted electrocatalysis. The $299,987 award, effective July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2026, will support research at the University...
The National Science Foundation awarded Clarkson University a $250,000 Project Grant under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The two-year award, issued on January 1, 2022 and concluding December 31, 2023, will support the development of easy-to-use, affordable sensors for rapid detection of environmental pollutants. In line with NSF's mission to foster innovation and excellence in engineering research, this project aims to create new sensor technologies that can improve detection...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $312,596 awarded on October 1, 2022 will support research at San Diego State University to develop an innovative "trap and destroy" water treatment technology for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The university will work to optimize adsorptive photocatalysts that can selectively absorb PFAS from water and then destroy the compounds using ultraviolet or solar light. Key deliverables under the 24-month award include...
This Project Grant award for $420,000.00, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), will develop a novel photochemical system to degrade per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The research aims to (1) investigate the working mechanisms of the new reaction system, (2) examine its performance in degrading various PFAS, (3) characterize PFAS degradation pathways and products, and (4) evaluate and improve the system's performance...
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 Project Grant award of $412,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will be used by the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to investigate the use of engineered polymer microparticles to adsorb and remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from wastewater. The central hypothesis is that the adsorption of PFAS molecules will alter the interfacial properties of the microparticles, causing emulsions to destabilize and allowing for the capture...
