Chemfinity technologies INC.- new award under FOA number DE-FOA-0003224 (igniite) with control number 3224-1785 titled ''tunable porous polymer networks with unprecedented efficiency in recovering critical metals'' description: ''chemfinity's patented innovations involve molecularly tunable filter materials that selectively recover various metals including platinum, rare earth elements, and copper from catalytic converter waste and other similar metal-containing wastes. Our team has shown that our porous polymer network (PPN) materials demonstrate among the highest reported selectivities, capacities, and kinetic uptake rates for metal capture (e.g., copper,1 iron,2 boron,3 NEODYMIUM4).5 FIG. 2 illustrates our platinum-selective material achieves an adsorption capacity more than six times greater than that of commercial state-of-the-art sorbents. We have published our developments in leading journals, such as science.5 the proposed project aims to develop an adsorption-based column process for the selective recovery of critical minerals and materials (cmms) from waste.''
