This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $150,000 to Claremont McKenna College to discover enzymatic pathways to break carbon-fluorine bonds in perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFAS). PFAS are a group of persistent chemicals that are costly to remove from the environment. The project aims to engineer special enzymes that can degrade these stable chemical bonds, which could unlock new technologies for PFAS remediation in...
This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the National Science Foundation under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program, focuses on developing advanced electrochemical degradation technology for removing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water. The $999,603 award to Elateq, Inc., a small, minority-owned business, aims to create a sustainable, cost-effective, and easily operated on-site solution to destroy these "forever chemicals" that are...
The National Science Foundation has awarded a $275,000 Project Grant to Water Illumination Inc., a small minority-owned business, to develop a tunable deep ultraviolet (UV)-based technology for the destruction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water. This grant, funded under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program, aims to create a cost-effective, chemical-free water treatment system capable of nearly complete PFAS elimination without...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $249,999 Project Grant to William Marsh Rice University under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program. The grant supports the development of an advanced materials-based technology to permanently destroy toxic and persistent per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The project aims to optimize a photocatalysis-based approach that uses only light to degrade PFAS, without requiring chemical additives. The...
This Project Grant award of $350,000 from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports a collaborative research project at the University of Missouri System (Missouri S&T) to discover enzymatic pathways that can break carbon-fluorine bonds in perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFAS). PFAS are a group of costly-to-remove chemicals that do not naturally break down in the environment due to their strong carbon-fluorine bonds. The goal of this 3-year project is to...
This $999,940 Cooperative Agreement awarded on March 15, 2024 by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program supports the development and field deployment of Purafide, LLC's plasma-based water treatment technology to address per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination. The project aims to pilot the innovative plasma reactor technology at high-priority PFAS remediation and landfill sites in Michigan, with the goal of achieving PFAS...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $236,645 awarded on March 15, 2022 supports research and development of an advanced electrochemical system for degradation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The awardee, Elateq, Inc. of Amherst, MA, will design and test a novel cathodic treatment prototype employing reductive and oxidative electrodes and catalyst-coating materials to break down PFAS contaminants in water through electrochemically-induced reduction and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) provides $275,000 in funding to Myconaut LLC to develop a scalable biological remediation method that uses synergistic interactions between fungi and plants to degrade and remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from contaminated environments. The project aims to expand the understanding of fungal degradation of PFAS, evaluate the...
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 for $420,000.00, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), will develop a novel photochemical system to degrade per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The research aims to (1) investigate the working mechanisms of the new reaction system, (2) examine its performance in degrading various PFAS, (3) characterize PFAS degradation pathways and products, and (4) evaluate and improve the system's performance...
