Removing Emerging Contaminants in the Drinking Water by a Novel Carbon-based Enzymatic Reactor

Presented by: Dr. Chung-Ho Lin is an Associate Professor in the Department of Forestry at the University of Missouri.

The contamination of drinking water and its sources with emerging contaminants has been a major concern for the ecosystem and public health, especially in the rural America. For example, as many as 1 in 6 Americans were drinking atrazine-contaminated water. Our team has successfully demonstrated a novel technology for removing emerging contaminants from water and drinking water sources (wells, groundwater aquifers and surface water) to protect the integrity of the ecosystems and public health. The system can be readily scalable to a continuous flow bioreactor to remove atrazine. Ultimately, the technology can be applicable to watershed restoration, environmental remediation and municipal water treatment plants. This technology also identified the novel uses of bio-based carbon materials such as biochar derived from agricultural and forest origins for environmental and industrial applications. Converting low-value materials to high value-added carbon products will help foster rural economic development.

About the Extension Foundation

The Extension Foundation was formed in 2006 by Extension Directors and Administrators. Today, the Foundation partners with Cooperative Extension through liaison roles and a formal plan of work with the Extension Committee on Organization and Policy (ECOP) to increase system capacity while providing programmatic services, and helping Extension programs scale and investigate new methods and models for implementing programs. The Foundation provides professional development to Cooperative Extension professionals and offers exclusive services to its members. In 2020 and 2021, the Extension Foundation has awarded 85% of its direct funding back to the Cooperative Extension System, 100% of funds are used to support Cooperative Extension initiatives. 

This technology is supported in part by New Technologies for Ag Extension (funding opportunity no. USDA-NIFA-OP-010186), grant no. 2023-41595-41325 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
