- The National Science Foundation awarded a $583,500 Project Grant to the Colorado School of Mines under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041). The grant will support research to evaluate hydrothermal liquefaction as a strategy for simultaneously destroying per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in wastewater residual solids, while recovering energy and nutrients. Over three years, the Colorado School of Mines will conduct experiments to identify hydrothermal liquefaction process...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), supports collaborative research aimed at discovering 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 $350,000 project, awarded on November 1, 2025 with an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2028, will take a new approach toward remediating PFAS...
- This $1,200,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports a collaborative research effort to address the challenge of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) removal and conversion. Led by the University of Delaware, in partnership with several Southeastern universities, the project aims to build regional research capacity and infrastructure to enable PFAS mitigation within a circular economy framework. The key...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $150,000 to Claremont McKenna College to develop enzymatic pathways that can break carbon-fluorine bonds in perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFAS). PFAS are a group of harmful chemicals that are costly and difficult to remove from the environment due to their stable carbon-fluorine bonds. The project aims to engineer specialized enzymes that can degrade these bonds, which could unlock...
- 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...
- 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 $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...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the NSF Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041), will provide $212,973 to the University of Utah from July 2023 to June 2026 to conduct collaborative research on the molecular and nanoscale structure and interactions of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as "forever chemicals." The research will investigate PFAS surfactants in aqueous solutions and at water-air, water-oil, and water-solid...
