This $499,988 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) seeks to develop and validate an integrated sorption-photocatalytic process for the ex-situ treatment and remediation of groundwater contaminated by mixtures of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and chlorinated solvents like trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE). The principal investigator and research team at Southern Illinois University Carbondale will...
This $566,566 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports the development of an integrated photocapacitive concentration and electrocatalytic conversion technology for treating nitrate-contaminated water. The project, led by the University of Iowa, aims to create a sustainable solution for capturing and transforming nitrate - a prevalent groundwater pollutant - into useful products like ammonia. The research involves four key...
This $150,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports a collaborative research effort led by Elizabeth City State University (ECSU), an HBCU institution, and Old Dominion University. The project aims to develop a novel chemical process that can simultaneously clean organic contaminants from wastewater and generate methanol, which can then be used for wastewater denitrification. The process utilizes biocatalytic enzymes to...
