- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program awarded a $140,000 Project Grant to the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa to develop a new approach for the detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The research team, led by Professors Shane Street and Marco Bonizzoni, will create pattern-based chemosensors from metal nanoparticles to qualitatively detect anionic contaminants. The project combines chemical synthesis, electron microscopy,...
- 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 two-year, $194,025 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems will fund the development of a low-cost, mass-scale sorbent for removing toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from drinking water. Montclair State University will design a fluorinated block copolymer sorbent that leverages self-assembly at solid-liquid interfaces to facilitate PFAS elimination. The porous polymer will be synthesized...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $194,928 to the University of Alabama from January 2023 through December 2024. The funding will support collaboration between the University of Alabama and the Water Tower Institute to develop methods for characterizing extractable organic fluorine and closing the fluorine mass balance in potable water reuse scenarios. Specifically, the grant will establish scholarly partnerships to...
- 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 $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...
- This Project Grant award of $412,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will be used by the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to investigate the use of engineered polymer microparticles to adsorb and remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from wastewater. The central hypothesis is that the adsorption of PFAS molecules will alter the interfacial properties of the microparticles, causing emulsions to destabilize and allowing for the capture...
