- This Project Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Innovative Water Technology Grant Program (CFDA 66.521) aims to address the challenge of promoting novel adsorbents for the uptake and removal of micropollutants, such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and per- and polyfluorinated substances, from wastewater. The key activities funded through this $1,538,969 award include: (1) encapsulating and coating two types of novel adsorbents - macrocyclic...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $1,200,000 to a collaborative research team led by the University of South Carolina, in partnership with several other universities across Delaware, Alabama, and South Carolina. The project aims to develop innovative technologies for the removal and conversion of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are synthetic chemicals that pose health and environmental...
- This federal Project Grant award of $269,991, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), aims to advance a new pollutant detection technology called Molecule-Probed Raman Spectroscopy (MPRS) for rapidly and cost-effectively detecting per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as "forever chemicals," in water supplies. The project, led by Villanova University, will integrate experiments with computational modeling to understand...
- The University of Delaware was awarded a $3,600,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to lead a multi-institutional collaborative research effort addressing the challenge of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) removal and conversion. The project integrates expertise across materials science, separations, reaction engineering, electrochemistry, process systems, multiscale modeling, artificial intelligence, and social...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $420,000.00 to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside to develop a new method for degrading per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The project, titled "ERASE-PFAS: Understanding and Application of a New Photocatalytic Mechanism for PFAS Degradation," aims to discover the optimal configuration of a treatment system involving ultraviolet (UV)...
- This Project Grant award of $120,000 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research to investigate the use of plasma technology for efficiently removing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from contaminated water. The project aims to better understand the interactions between plasma and PFAS-polluted water, with the goal of developing improved water treatment systems. The research involves experimental and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $558,556.00 to Cornell University will fund a research project entitled "UNTANGLING THE IMPACTS OF MICROPLASTIC WEATHERING ON THE FATE AND TRANSPORT OF HALOGENATED ORGANIC COMPOUNDS". The project aims to study how microplastics, which are tiny plastic particles that accumulate in the environment, interact with potentially toxic chemicals such as chlorinated ethenes and PFAS. Through a series...
- This federal Project Grant award, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) / Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program (CFDA 10.212), provides $175,000.00 to Coflux Purification, Inc. to develop a field-ready water treatment reactor designed for PFAS-impacted agricultural areas and watersheds. The system captures and destroys PFAS in a single step, addressing the problem...
- This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $620,000.00, was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805). The purpose of the project is to investigate how daily environmental fluctuations, or "diel cycling", impact the fate of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) precursors in a unique, diatom-dominated constructed wetland. The interdisciplinary research approach combines field...
- 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...
