IUCRC for Combined Anaerobic-Aerobic Treatment of Halogenated Organic Compounds Using a Lignite Char Support

该项目实施了一个行业/大学/政府 美国与美国的合作研究计划 英国. 该计划将结合新泽西研究所 与贝尔法斯特皇后大学合作， 英国. 这一共同努力的最终目标是将 皇后区环境科学技术研究中心 大学，（成立于1989年）与I/UCRC危险 NJIT的废物管理。 联合研究计划是研究 褐煤和褐煤衍生的活性炭作为 固体吸收剂以提供用于废物处理的载体基质 利用微生物方法降解有机物的水流 有毒成分 还为下列方面的评价活动提供额外支助： 研究产业/大学之间的互动， 中心以及中心之间的相互作用。 英国科学与工程研究理事会已经 审查和资助爱尔兰（英国）组成部分，这一合作 在三年期间，努力达到约240 000美元。 项目经理建议新泽西研究所 技术的第一年将获得80，000美元，为期三年 继续获奖 该项目正在与 美国国家科学基金会国际项目部。 此外，连续三年的第一年将获得8，000美元 一个评价员职能奖。

The project implements an Industry/University/Government Cooperative Research Program between the United States and the United Kingdom. The program will couple the New Jersey Institute of Technology in the US with the Queens University of Belfast in the UK. The ultimate objective of this joint effort is to couple the Environmental Science and Technology Research Center at Queens University, (established in 1989) with the I/UCRC for Hazardous Waste Management at NJIT. The joint research program is to study the potential of lignite and lignite derived activated carbons as solid absorbents to provide a support-matrix for treatment of waste water streams using microbiological process to degrade organic toxic constituents. Additional support is provided for an evaluation activity in studying the industry/university interaction occurring in both Centers as well as the interaction between the Centers. The British Science and Engineering Research Council has reviewed and funded the Irish (UK) component of this collaborative effort at approximately $240,000 over a three year period. The Program Manager recommends that the New Jersey Institute of Technology be awarded $80,000 for first year of a three-year continuing award. This project is being coordinated with the National Science Foundation's Division of International Programs. Also, $8,000 is awarded for the first year of three-year continuing award for an evaluator function.
