- The National Science Foundation awarded a $465,181 Project Grant to the University of Illinois under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) for the period of September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The grant funds the development of a low-cost microelectrode sensor array platform coupled with machine learning algorithms to detect per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. PFAS are a class of chemicals used in numerous consumer and industrial products that can...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $415,814 Project Grant to the University of Illinois under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant will support research to evaluate hydrothermal liquefaction as a strategy for simultaneously destroying per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that accumulate in sewage sludge from water resource recovery facilities, while recovering liquid fuel and nutrients. Over three years, university researchers will conduct experiments to...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,200,000 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to a collaborative research team led by the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), in partnership with several other universities across Alabama, Delaware, and South Carolina. This project aims to develop innovative technologies for the removal and conversion of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are synthetic chemicals that pose health and...
- The Illinois Institute of Technology will receive $100,000 from the Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development under the agency's P3 Award: National Student Design Competition for Sustainability program (CFDA 66.516) to develop technologies that mitigate risks from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in contaminated sediments. The two-year project grant will fund laboratory experiments examining the effectiveness of sediment caps containing sorbent amendments for...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) awarded a $350,000 Project Grant to the University of Missouri System (Missouri S&T) to discover enzymatic pathways that can break carbon-fluorine bonds in perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFCAs). PFCAs, also known as PFAS, are costly to remove from the environment as they do not naturally degrade due to their strong carbon-fluorine bonds. This 3-year project aims to engineer specialized enzymes that can degrade these...
- 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)...

- The University of Delaware was awarded a $3,600,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to lead a multi-institutional collaborative research effort addressing the challenge of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) removal and conversion. The project integrates expertise across materials science, separations, reaction engineering, electrochemistry, process systems, multiscale modeling, artificial intelligence, and social...
- 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...
