US-Egypt Cooperative Research: Assessment and Remediation of Industrial Sources of Lead in Cairo's Air

9804829苏丹描述：该奖项是为了表彰由伊利诺伊州内珀维尔全球环境技术公司总裁Mohamed Sultan博士、Argonne国家实验室环境研究部Neil Sturchio博士、开罗大学机械工程教授Mahmoud Fuad博士和埃及博士共同开展的合作项目。这项研究将针对开罗市空气中的铅含量，目的是评估其水平，测试减少铅含量的补救程序，并评估几种程序的结果。具体地说，科学家计划研究铅冶炼厂等点源，以使用基于K-e的湍流方法，使用实验和弥散模型来评估这些来源的弥散，以及它们如何对环境空气做出贡献；然后，将对一个或多个过滤设备进行试点测试，并对排放的烟羽沿线的颗粒铅浓度进行补救后的测量。范围：美国科学家是环境科学和技术领域经验丰富的研究人员。他们与埃及合作者一起参与了埃及的一个重大项目，即在开罗大学建立一个减轻环境危害中心(CEHM)。CEHM是一项全国性的项目，得到了埃及和美国政府的支持，埃及和美国拥有广泛的设施，可以进行这里提出的这类研究。这位埃及合作者在流体动力学和能源系统方面拥有丰富的经验。需要解决的问题是开罗和发展中国家的许多世界最大城市的一个主要问题。成功的结果也可以应用于其他情况。这一建议符合支持美国与外国在互利领域进行合作的国际目标。该项目是1996年环境保护局(环保局)和埃及政府组织的环境清洁技术讲习班的结果。环境保护局参与了对该项目的评估，并建议其提供支持。该项目由美国国务院管理的美国-埃及联合基金项目提供支持，该项目为两国的科学家和工程师开展合作活动提供资助。***

9804829 Sultan Description: This award is for support of a cooperative project by Dr. Mohamed Sultan, President, Global Environmental Technologies, Inc. in Naperville, IL, Dr. Neil Sturchio of the Environmental Research Division at Argonne National Laboratory, and Dr. Mahmoud Fouad, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Cairo University, and Dr. in Egypt. The research will target the lead content in the air in the city of Cairo with the purpose of assessing its level, testing remedial procedures to reduce it, and assessing the results of several procedures.. Specifically the scientists plan to study point sources such as lead smelters to assess the dispersion from these sources and how they contribute to the ambient air using experimental and dispersion models using a K-e based turbulence approach; then pilot-scale testing of one or more filtration devices, along with the post-remedial measurements of the particulate lead concentrations along the emitted plume will be carried out. Scope: The US scientists are an experienced researchers in the area of environmental sciences and technology. They have participated with the Egyptian collaborator in a major project in Egypt to develop a Center for Environmental hazard Mitigation (CEHM) at Cairo University. The CEHM is a national undertaking, with support from the Egyptian and US governments, which has extensive facilities for the type of research proposed here. The Egyptian collaborator has extensive experience in fluid dynamics and in energy systems. the problem to be addressed is a major problem in Cairo and in many of the world's largest cities in the developing countries. Successful results could be applied in other situations. This proposal meets INT objective of supporting US-foreign collaboration in areas of mutual benefit. The project was generated as a result of a workshop on environmentally clean technologies that was organized, in 1996, by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Egyptian Government. EPA was involved in the evaluation of the project and in recommending its support. This project is being supported under the US-Egypt Joint Fund Program, administered by the US Department of State, which provides grants to scientists and engineers in both countries to carry out cooperative activities. ***
