The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $131,914 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Wyoming. The grant supports a collaborative research project titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: CAS-SC: INVESTIGATING THE MILD LIGAND-BASED OXIDATIVE DISSOLUTION OF E-WASTE METALS AND THEIR REDUCTIVE RECOVERY." The project, led by professors from the University of Idaho and the University of Wyoming, aims to develop a novel, sustainable method for recycling e-waste metals using unique chemical compounds that can dissolve the metals and enable their recovery. The research will include computational and experimental approaches to investigate ligand-induced metal dissolution and recovery, as well as explore the valorization, host-guest mechanisms, and green chemistry involved in building a critical materials and precious metals recycling program. Additionally, the project will incorporate sustainable chemical principles into undergraduate teaching laboratories and provide course-based research experiences for students. The award period runs from August 2025 to July 2027.
