This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $500,000 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside (UC Riverside) to investigate the use of short-wavelength ultraviolet (UV) light-driven water photolysis to destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in concentrated brine reject from membrane treatment of wastewater. The research project, titled "GOALI: ERASE PFAS: DEVELOPMENT OF EFFICIENT...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $312,596 awarded on October 1, 2022 will support research at San Diego State University to develop an innovative "trap and destroy" water treatment technology for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The university will work to optimize adsorptive photocatalysts that can selectively absorb PFAS from water and then destroy the compounds using ultraviolet or solar light. Key deliverables under the 24-month award include...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems provides $150,000 to support the development of quantitative tools to assess the mechanisms and potential of UV-activated persulfate radicals for treating per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. With a completion date of July 31, 2024, this award under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program will fund research at the California State...
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)...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $221,627 Project Grant under its Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to conduct research on the transformation mechanisms and products of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) during drinking water disinfection processes. The 3-year project, beginning August 1, 2024, will investigate how PFAS compounds react with common disinfectants like chlorine and ozone. This research aims to improve...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA 47.041, Engineering, provides $241,750 to the University of Missouri System to research the transformation mechanisms and products of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) during water disinfection processes. The 3-year project, running from August 2024 to July 2027, aims to determine how PFAS and their precursors react with common disinfectants like chlorine and ozone during drinking water treatment. The research...
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...
This $199,999 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research to elucidate the performance and mechanisms of nanofiltration (NF) for removing short-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from contaminated water. The research aims to evaluate NF removal of diverse (ultra)short-chain PFAS, establish structure-property-performance relationships using machine learning, and investigate PFAS interactions with NF...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry federal Project Grant award for $600,000 will support a 3-year research project led by researchers at the University of California, Riverside. The project, titled "Mechanistic Understanding of Biodechlorination-Facilitated Defluorination of Polychlorofluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)," aims to study the molecular mechanisms underlying the dechlorination and defluorination of PFAS, which are a class of "forever...
