- 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 $425,000 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Regents of the University of Michigan (University of Michigan) to develop innovative plasma-assisted dehalogenation processes for recycling or fully mineralizing halogen-containing waste streams, with a focus on PFAS and PVC. This convergent research project will leverage the university's expertise in chemical reaction engineering, plasma science, and environmental engineering to...
- This $419,997 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support the development and testing of a new Continuous-Flow Liquid-Phase Plasma Discharge (CLPD) system designed to completely destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as "forever chemicals," in water. The project, titled "ECLIPSE-PFAS: Engineering Liquid-Phase Plasma Discharge for Complete Destruction of Poly- and Perfluoroalkyl...
- 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 $310,800 to Clarkson University to investigate the use of non-equilibrium plasma to degrade per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in complex aqueous environments. The project aims to develop a reliable, large-scale method for the complete mineralization of PFAS and PFAS precursors. The central hypothesis is that non-oxidative plasma-induced mechanisms, driven by electron and photon...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $227,460 Project Grant under its Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct collaborative research on elucidating nanofiltration removal performance and mechanisms for short-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). This 3-year project, which commenced on September 1, 2024, aims to address critical knowledge gaps in the effectiveness of nanofiltration for removing diverse PFAS types, especially...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $120,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the Regents of the University of Michigan for the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: ECLIPSE-PFAS: INTERFACIAL PLASMA-LIQUID TRANSPORT AND REACTIVITY WITH SURFACTANT MOLECULES FOR EFFICIENT PFAS REMOVAL" project. This 3-year collaborative research effort aims to investigate how plasma interacts with PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances)-contaminated water to enable more effective removal of these "forever chemicals." The project will employ advanced laser diagnostics to measure key parameters in the gas-liquid interface and support the design of improved water treatment systems to address PFAS pollution. In addition, the project will help train the next generation of scientists and engineers through the US Low Temperature Plasma Summer School program.
