Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) received a $199,955 two-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041). The award aims to advance fundamental understanding of reactive transport in porous media through experimental investigation of precipitation processes and their impact on flow distribution and transport properties. RIT will fabricate two-dimensional porous structures with controlled heterogeneity and monitor changes in network structure and flow upon injection of an antisolvent to precipitate water-soluble polymers. Results seek to correlate advection and precipitation rates with system response time to local changes and predict clogging due to reactive transport. Broader goals are to develop foundational models of reactive transport based on bulk properties and maintain flow for industrial operations. The award also supports graduate and undergraduate student training in quantitative transport phenomena analysis.
