This $225,824 National Science Foundation project grant funded the development of an eco-genomic framework to control microbial communities in biofilters used for drinking water treatment. Specifically, the Georgia Tech Research Corporation and its partners will conduct laboratory and pilot-scale experiments using genomic techniques to enrich beneficial microorganisms in biofilters and optimize nitrogen species availability. The goal is to enhance the efficacy of post-filtration disinfection...
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,...
