This is an award to support research the objective of which is to obtain a better understanding than now exists of chemical reaction mechanisms that influence the fate of pollutants in natural waters and in water being subjected to chemical treatment processes. The research focusses on photocatalytic degradation of hazardous chemicals that are adsorbed on surfaces of semiconductor particles and involves the application of dye sensitization to the semiconductor surfaces to enhance absorption of light and the chemical transformation process. This award provides initial base-level support for this Presidential Young Investigator and funds to match $37,500 of the total of $134,000 from the following sources: Lyonnaise des Eaux (France) - $39,000, Rhone-Poulenc (Connecticut) - $10,000, Midland Resources, Inc. (Kansas) - $5,000, and the Occidental Chemical Corp. (New York) - $80,000. Results are expected to advance the understanding we now have of chemical mechanisms that influence the fate of pollutants in natural waters and in engineering design of treatment processes for removing pollutants from water and wastewater.

这一奖项是为了支持研究，其目的是比现在更好地了解影响天然水体和经过化学处理的水体中污染物命运的化学反应机制。本研究的重点是吸附在半导体颗粒表面的危险化学品的光催化降解，涉及到在半导体表面应用染料敏化以增强光的吸收和化学转化过程。​该奖项为这位总统青年研究员提供初始基础支持，并从以下来源获得总额为13.4万美元中的37,500美元：Lyonnaise des Eaux（法国）- 39,000美元，Rhone-Poulenc（康涅狄格州）- 10,000美元，Midland Resources, Inc.（堪萨斯州）- 5,000美元，Occidental Chemical Corp.（纽约）- 80,000美元。预计研究结果将促进我们现在对影响天然水体中污染物命运的化学机制的理解，以及对从水和废水中去除污染物的处理工艺的工程设计的理解。
