PARTNERSHIP: DEVELOPMENT OF SINGLE- AND DOUBLE-ATOM CATALYSTS FOR TREATING AGRICULTURAL WASTEWATER

Objective

The goal of this project is to leverage nanotechnology and develop single-atom catalysts (SACs) and double-atom catalysts (DACs) to activate peroxides for degrading antibiotics and pesticides in agricultural wastewater. Specific aims including (i) determining the key properties of SACs and DACs that impact performance for contaminant oxidation; (ii) understanding the mechanisms of SACs and DACs for degrading persistent chemical contaminants; and (iii)understanding the robustness of SACs and DACs for oxidizing persistent chemical contaminants in agricultural wastewater.
