We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Thermodynamic Properties of Electrolyte Solutions @ University of Pennsylvania
The thermodynamic properties of electrolyte mixtures are studied. The isoactive-solvent theory developed in this work is based upon a semi-grant canonical ensemble, for which the solvent activity is the independent variable and the thermodynamic excess functions are expressed in mole ratios. Preliminary evaluations indicate that vapor-liquid equilibria predicted by the theory are in excellent agreement with experiments on ternary systems containing mixed solutes and/or mixed solvents. The theory is being tested for various classes of systems under a wide range of conditions and compared with established theories and correlations. Isopiestic experiments from 25 to 100 C are performed for aqueous solutions containing non-volatile electrolytes. In these measurements, the activity of the solvent is determined simultaneously for single and mixed solutes. Therefore, the theory can be compared directly with experiment without interpolating between experimental points.

Exclusion of Molecules From Micropores of Solid Adsorbents @ University of Pennsylvania
A theory encompassing steric exclusion and surface heterogeneity will be formulated for mixed gas adsorption on microporous solids such as zeolites and activated carbon. The theory contains experimentally determined fractional exclusion constants. Besides the theory, three additional studies based on the theory are undertaken: (1) characterization of microporous solids; (2) extension of the theory to adsorption of liquid mixtures; and (3) development of a simple, rapid gravimetric technique for measuring mixture adsorption. Successful conclusion of the study would lead to a major advance in adsorption theory.

Adsorption of Fluid Mixtures in Micropores: Simulation and Experiment @ University of Pennsylvania
Adsorption is under development worldwide as a chemical- engineering unit operation for the separation and purification of gaseous and liquid mixtures. In addition to separation of air into its components and removal of pollutants from air and water streams, adsorption is being considered for a host of new applications, including separation of proteins from bioreactor product streams, recovery of carbon dioxide from combustion of fossil fuels, recovery of uranium from sea water, methane storage, and ultrapurification of water and raw materials for the electronics industry. Current research using molecular simulation by grand canonical Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics is providing new insights into the physics of adsorption. Results from these fundamental investigations provide a solid foundation for the development of new theories to replace the classical thermodynamic methods. The objective of this research is to bridge the gap between adsorption theory and practice by developing a molecular theory capable of predicting preferential adsorption from fluid mixtures. Adsorption isotherms of single gases and their binary mixtures, and isosteric heats of adsorption of single gases, will be measured. Experimental data collected for four binary systems will serve to test theories for predicting mixed-gas adsorption equilibria from single component isotherms and heats of adsorption.
