9528888 Vernon-Gerstenfeld This is an award to support a project the objective of which is to determine the progress toward the application of two concepts for management of wastewater treatment residues and to identify further research needed to address issues that have precluded their more widespread adoption in environmental engineering practice. The concepts to be studied include use of ionizing radiation for disinfection of residuals and the use of these residuals in production of ceramic building materials. This project, as was the prior one in 1988, will be conducted through the Worcester Polytechnic Institute's Washington Project Center. Since the prior study in 1988, there has been a strong movement toward recycling of used materials to minimize impact of their processing and disposal on environmental quality. Three undergraduate students will assist the Principal Investigator on this project to fulfill the requirement of their having conducted an Interactive Qualifying Project that links science, engineering and technology to societal needs and concerns. Results are expected to assist in providing a basis for determination of research needs and thus be useful for program planning purposes.

小行星9528888 该奖项旨在支持一个项目，该项目的目标是确定两个概念在废水处理残留物管理中的应用进展，并确定需要进一步研究以解决阻碍其在环境工程实践中更广泛采用的问题。 研究的概念包括使用电离辐射对残留物进行消毒，以及在陶瓷建筑材料生产中使用这些残留物。 该项目与1988年的上一个项目一样，将通过伍斯特理工学院的华盛顿项目中心进行。 自1988年的先前研究以来，有一个强大的运动，对回收利用的材料，以尽量减少其加工和处置对环境质量的影响。 三名本科生将协助该项目的主要研究者，以满足他们进行互动资格项目的要求，该项目将科学，工程和技术与社会需求和关注联系起来。 预计结果将有助于提供一个基础，确定研究需求，从而为项目规划的目的是有用的。
