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 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 University of Delaware was awarded a $120,000 Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202) to evaluate public response to PFAS contamination as an emerging pollutant. The project will use experimental economics techniques to assess the public's willingness to purchase at-home water filters and the impact of personalized information on individual perceptions of PFAS health risks. Key project activities...
The Illinois Institute of Technology will receive $100,000 from the Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development under the agency's P3 Award: National Student Design Competition for Sustainability program (CFDA 66.516) to develop technologies that mitigate risks from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in contaminated sediments. The two-year project grant will fund laboratory experiments examining the effectiveness of sediment caps containing sorbent amendments for...
This $419,463 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support research by Georgia Tech Research Corporation to investigate enhanced electrochemical oxidation methods for the destruction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The project aims to systematically study the influence of electric field strength on PFAS electromigration and oxidative degradation, leveraging locally enhanced electric field treatment (LEEFT) to...
The University of Cincinnati was awarded a $402,387 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems to support research titled "ERASE-PFAS: ELECTROCATALYTIC HYDRODEFLUORINATION OF PFAS USING MOLECULAR, METAL-FREE CATALYSTS." The grant is part of NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), which aims to improve quality of life and economic strength through innovative engineering research and education. Under this...
This $1,598,849 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509) aims to understand and mitigate per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in biosolids used for agricultural applications. The key activities include: Nationwide sampling and analysis of wastewater treatment plants to explore correlations between biosolid characteristics and PFAS partitioning. Developing and evaluating the effectiveness of...
This federal Project Grant award of $100,000 was issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the P3 Award: National Student Design Competition for Sustainability program (CFDA 66.516). The goal of the project is to create highly active catalysts for Fenton-like reactions with tunable surface charge to enhance the adsorption of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water. The specific objectives are to: 1) synthesize mixed metal-iron based nanostructured...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $415,814 Project Grant to the University of Illinois under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant will support research to evaluate hydrothermal liquefaction as a strategy for simultaneously destroying per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that accumulate in sewage sludge from water resource recovery facilities, while recovering liquid fuel and nutrients. Over three years, university researchers will conduct experiments 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...
