This $419,463 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the CFDA 47.041 Engineering program. The goal of the project, titled "ERASE-PFAS: BOOSTING MASS TRANSFER FOR PFAS ELECTROOXIDATION", is to systematically study the influence of electric field strength on per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) electromigration and electrochemical oxidation (EO) degradation. The research will investigate the destruction of various PFAS on different anode surface morphologies under varying electric field strengths, with a focus on addressing environmentally-relevant PFAS concentrations. This work aims to optimize PFAS mass transport to the anode to enhance the efficiency and rate of PFAS destruction, a critical challenge in using EO for PFAS treatment. The award was granted to Georgia Tech Research Corporation, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education, to perform this research from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
