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)...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund a five-year research project at Cornell University focused on understanding the fate and transport of microplastics and their interactions with potentially toxic halogenated organic compounds (HOCs) in soil and groundwater environments. The $558,556 award will support a series of laboratory experiments to evaluate the impacts of aged and weathered microplastics on HOC...
Oregon State University was awarded a $350,376 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The three-year award will support research titled "TRANSPORT IN TURBULENT BOUNDARY LAYERS OVER PERMEABLE BEDS: PORE-RESOLVED DIRECT SIMULATIONS AND MACROSCALE CONTINUUM MODELING" from June 2021 through May 2024. The research will involve pore-resolved direct simulations...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $119,998 Project Grant to the University of Arizona under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) to develop new sorbents that can stabilize per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in sewage sludge. Approximately 55% of the 7.2 million dry metric tons of sewage sludge (biosolids) produced annually in the U.S. is applied as soil amendments and fertilizers in agriculture and land restoration. However, the increasing detection of PFAS in...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded a $208,277 Project Grant titled "NSF-BSF: COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: SOLIDS AND REACTIVE TRANSPORT PROCESSES IN SEWER SYSTEMS OF THE FUTURE: MODELING AND EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION" under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The project aims to investigate the characteristics of solid waste entering sewer systems, the factors impacting its movement and accumulation,...
This $419,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) supports research by Iowa State University to develop and validate a computational model for predicting the fate and transport of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in surface water systems. The project aims to combine laboratory experiments, field measurements, and physics-based modeling to improve the ability to predict the risk of ARG spread through streams and rivers. The...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by Boise State University to investigate how microbial activity and fluid flow dynamics in river sediments influence the production and emission of the potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide. The $189,234 award will fund experiments and numerical simulations to determine the spatial and temporal patterns of low-oxygen microzones that facilitate nitrous oxide generation. This work aims...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $227,460 Project Grant under its Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct collaborative research on elucidating nanofiltration removal performance and mechanisms for short-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). This 3-year project, which commenced on September 1, 2024, aims to address critical knowledge gaps in the effectiveness of nanofiltration for removing diverse PFAS types, especially...
This $600,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports research at Tennessee State University (TSU) on the fate and transport of two emerging per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), F-53B and GenX, in soil. The key objectives are to: 1) examine the sorption-desorption and degradation mechanisms of F-53B and GenX in soils; 2) investigate the transport and accumulation of these PFAS in the vadose zone under the...
This three-year, $299,987 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to stabilize per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in sewage sludge intended for land application. The Research Foundation for the State University of New York at the University at Albany will investigate transformations and distributions of PFAS precursors in model and real sludge samples, as well as soil-biosolids systems using soybeans, with the goal of...
