0096965Malek Description: This award is for support of a cooperative project by Dr. R.I. Malek, Materials Research Laboratory, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania and Dr. Z. H. Khalil, Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Assiut University, Assiut, Egypt, and Dr. Said Saad Imbaby, Mining Department, Faculty of Engineering, Assiut University, Assiut, Egypt. They plan to: a) expand the fundamental understanding of the mechanism of evolution of nanostructure in aluminosilicate frameworks, b) explore utilization of cement kiln dust (as a model industrial waste) in the manufacture of masonry and building products, c) evaluate the products and ensure their compliance with the standards specification in both the United States and Egypt, and d) provide sound scientific bases that facilitate the use of any industrial waste to produce nanostructured building products. Scope: This project combines the expertise of scientists from the United States and Egypt to develop new structural materials and to reduce environmental degradation inherent in existing systems. Dr. Malek's laboratory at Penn State University has some of the most advanced testing equipment for materials. Dr. Malek has worked on alternate construction materials for several years and will be responsible for much of the analytical studies and the materials characterization. The Egyptian scientists have access to kiln dust, the material that is produced as an environmentally hazardous byproduct in cement making, and have the facility needed to manufacture usable construction material from that dust. They will participate in the characterization work during their visits to Penn State University. The project will have a significant impact in Egypt by providing new building material in place of the topsoil, which is no longer replenished after the building of the Aswan Dam. The project may help provide less expensive masonry material and at the same time reduce pollution from cement factories. The project meets INT criteria for support of cooperative projects that are mutually beneficial. This project is supported jointly by the Division of International Programs and the Division of Civil and Mechanical Systems.

0096965Malek描述：该奖项是为了支持由宾夕法尼亚州立大学材料研究实验室的R.I. Malek博士、埃及Assiut大学理学院化学系的Z. H. Khalil博士和埃及Assiut大学工程学院采矿系的Said Saad Imbaby博士共同完成的一个合作项目。他们计划：a)扩大对铝硅酸盐框架中纳米结构演变机制的基本理解，b)探索水泥窑粉尘（作为模型工业废物）在砖石和建筑产品制造中的利用，c)评估产品并确保其符合美国和埃及的标准规范，d)为利用任何工业废物生产纳米结构建筑产品提供良好的科学基础。范围：该项目结合了美国和埃及科学家的专业知识，开发新的结构材料，减少现有系统固有的环境退化。马利克博士在宾夕法尼亚州立大学的实验室拥有一些最先进的材料测试设备。Malek博士多年来一直从事替代建筑材料的研究，并将负责大部分分析研究和材料表征。埃及的科学家们可以接触到窑尘，这种材料是水泥生产过程中产生的一种对环境有害的副产品，他们还拥有从这种粉尘中制造可用建筑材料所需的设备。他们将在访问宾夕法尼亚州立大学期间参与表征工作。该项目将为埃及提供新的建筑材料，取代阿斯旺大坝建成后不再补充的表土，从而对埃及产生重大影响。该项目可能有助于提供更便宜的砌筑材料，同时减少水泥厂的污染。该项目符合国际情报机构支持互利合作项目的标准。该项目由国际项目部和土木与机械系统部联合支持。
