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 $270,411 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports collaborative research by the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology to investigate the transformation of phenols to aliphatic disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water treatment. The research aims to identify critical factors and develop strategies to minimize the production of intermediate halophenols, which can form during the chlorination process used to...
This $550,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology will develop machine learning (ML) tools to identify and prioritize high-risk disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water. The project aims to: (1) create a database of regulated and unregulated DBPs to address gaps in occurrence and toxicity data, (2) use ML to prioritize high-risk DBPs based on their potential health impacts, and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) was granted to South Dakota State University in the amount of $229,589 to be performed from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027. The primary objectives of this research project are to: 1) use machine learning to identify critical factors in the transformation of phenols to aliphatic disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water, 2) investigate the formation of aliphatic DBPs and halophenols...
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 $440,135 National Science Foundation Project Grant supports research at The Johns Hopkins University to develop a novel approach for identifying toxic byproducts and their precursors in drinking water treated with chemical oxidants. Funded under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), the five-year award will support the principal investigator's research objectives to create a microbead-based reactivity-directed analysis assay for detecting organic electrophiles in water matrices and...
This $419,275 project grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research to identify and characterize high-molecular weight disinfection byproducts (DBPs) formed in chlorinated drinking water. The project will leverage advanced mass spectrometry techniques to study the complex mixture of organic compounds in natural and engineered water systems, with the goal of improving understanding of DBP composition and formation mechanisms. The...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (CBET) Project Grant award of $359,636 to the University of Washington is focused on developing and evaluating novel ferrate-coated sand media for simultaneous oxidation of organic contaminants and adsorption of trace metals in water treatment applications. The key objectives are to: 1) synthesize and characterize the covalent ferrate-sand composite media; 2) investigate the media...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) CFDA 47.041 Engineering program award to Villanova University provides $199,991 to advance the understanding of how bromine (Br) and iodine (I) variability in drinking water sources contribute to the formation of disinfection byproducts (DBPs). The project aims to: 1) develop geospatial and statistical methods to assess iodine inputs to drinking water sources, and 2) perform targeted source water sampling to assess the spatial and temporal variability of...
