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

小行星9804829苏丹 描述：该奖项是对全球环境技术公司总裁穆罕默德苏丹博士合作项目的支持。在伊利诺伊州纳珀维尔，阿贡国家实验室环境研究部的Neil Sturchio博士和开罗大学机械工程教授Mahmoud Fouad博士以及埃及的博士。 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。 具体来说，科学家计划研究点源，如铅冶炼厂，以评估这些来源的分散情况，以及它们如何使用基于K-e的湍流方法使用实验和分散模型对环境空气做出贡献;然后对一个或多个过滤设备进行中试规模测试，沿着对排放羽流沿着的颗粒铅浓度进行补救后测量。 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加了在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是一项国家事业，得到了埃及和美国政府的支持，为这里提出的研究类型提供了广泛的设施。 埃及合作者在流体动力学和能源系统方面具有丰富的经验。 在开罗和许多发展中国家的世界大城市，要解决的问题是一个主要问题。 成功的结果可以应用于其他情况。 该提案符合INT支持美国与外国在互利领域合作的目标。 该项目是1996年由环境保护局和埃及政府举办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，并建议给予支持。 该项目得到美国-埃及联合基金方案的支持，该方案由美国国务院管理，向两国的科学家和工程师提供赠款，以开展合作活动。 ***

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. ***
