The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $227,460 Project Grant under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Arizona State University to conduct collaborative research on elucidating the performance and mechanisms of nanofiltration removal of short-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from contaminated water. The project aims to combine experimental studies and computational modeling to better understand how nanofiltration can be utilized to remediate PFAS-impacted water resources. Key activities include evaluating nanofiltration removal performance for varied PFAS structures, establishing structure-property-performance relationships using machine learning, and probing PFAS interactions and transport at the water-membrane interface through molecular dynamics simulations. The project will also include public engagement and education components to increase PFAS scientific literacy.
As part of this effort, Arizona State University has provided a $227,460 subaward to Colorado State University to collaborate on the research. Colorado State University's Sponsored Programs division will contribute expertise in areas such as satellite data analysis, wildfire modeling, and meteorology research to support the project's goals.
