Chemfinity Technologies, Inc., a minority-owned small disadvantaged business, was awarded a $500,000 Project Grant by the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) under the CFDA 81.135 program. The two-year project, running from July 2024 to July 2026, aims to develop an adsorption-based column process for the selective recovery of critical minerals and materials from waste streams. Chemfinity's patented innovations in molecularly tunable porous polymer networks demonstrate exceptional selectivity, capacity, and kinetics for the capture of metals such as platinum, rare earth elements, and copper from catalytic converter waste and similar metal-containing waste streams. This project leverages Chemfinity's expertise in advanced materials science to address critical environmental challenges through innovative recycling and recovery technologies.
