Description: This award is for support of a collaborative research project between Dr. S.K. Kawatra, Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at Michigan Technological University in Houghton, and Dr. Adel A. Nofal, Chairman of the Central Metallurgical Research and Development Institute in Cairo, Egypt. The purpose of the research is to address pollution from coal combustors by identifying means for direct utilization of the high-carbon fly-ashes that are produced by Low-NOx coal combustors. Specifically this is to address the use of these ashes, which have a higher carbon content than 6% by weight. The objectives of this study are to better understand the behavior of fly-ash in binder applications, and to use this information to determine methods for controlling the kinetics of the binding reaction, and to optimize the fly-ash binder characteristics for particular applications. Scope: This project will support collaboration between two teams with complementary capabilities and institutional facilities. The US team is currently studying the use of high-carbon fly-ashes as binders for organic particulates, such as foundry sands. The Egyptian team will provide needed capabilities in the study of the interactions of molten metals with fly-ash. The project fits well within the objectives of the Division of International Programs.

描述：该奖项是为了表彰密歇根技术大学霍顿冶金与材料工程系S.K.Kawatra博士和埃及开罗中央冶金研究与发展研究所主席Adel A.Nofal博士之间的合作研究项目。这项研究的目的是通过确定直接利用低NOx燃煤锅炉产生的高碳飞灰的方法来解决燃煤锅炉的污染问题。具体地说，这是为了解决这些灰烬的使用问题，这些灰烬的碳含量高于6%。本研究的目的是更好地了解飞灰在粘结剂应用中的行为，并利用这些信息来确定控制结合反应动力学的方法，并针对特定应用优化飞灰粘结剂的特性。范围：该项目将支持具有互补能力和机构设施的两个团队之间的合作。美国团队目前正在研究使用高碳飞灰作为有机颗粒的粘结剂，如铸造砂子。埃及团队将在研究熔融金属与飞灰的相互作用方面提供所需的能力。该项目完全符合国际方案司的目标。
