Research Grants for Faculty at Principally Undergraduate Institutions

In 2017, Organic Syntheses, Inc. began a program funding summer research grants for faculty at principally undergraduate institutions. Each grant award provides $8,000 to a PUI faculty member who subsequently chooses an undergraduate coworker from among the students in their department. Further information and instructions for applying for summer research grants can be found at https://www.orgsyn.org/puigrants.aspx .

Fluorochemicals production without hydrofluoric acid

FluoRork manufactures fluorochemicals in a hydrofluoric (HF) free way. Fluorochemicals are used in every day products like lithium-ion battery electrolytes, agrochemicals, and drugs. All fluorine atoms in fluorochemicals are derived from fluorspar. Traditionally, fluorspar is treated with sulfuric acid in an energy-intensive process to produce hydrofluoric acid (HF), the key precursor in traditional fluorochemical manufacturing. FluoRok aims to revolutionize conventional fluorochemical production with an HF-free fluorination process.
