U.S.-Egypt Workshop: Innovative Treatment Technologies for Water, Wastewater, Sludge and Other Contaminated Waters, May 2007, Cairo, Egypt

0646801库珀该奖项支持将于2007年5月在埃及开罗举行的“美国-埃及水、废水、污泥和其他受污染沃茨创新技术研讨会”。组织者是加州大学欧文分校土木与环境工程系的William库珀博士和埃及开罗国家研究中心的Hussein Abdel-Shafy博士。研讨会将包括来自美国几所大学和埃及几所大学和研究机构的多学科领域的科学家。其他应邀参加的国家包括突尼斯和摩洛哥。该项目的目标是在美国科学家与埃及和该地区其他国家的科学家之间建立长期合作研究项目。该计划将包括介绍和讨论处理工艺和概念的最新进展及其在各种用途的沃茨处理中的应用。讲习班将为与会者提供充足和指定的时间，让他们以非正式小组的形式聚在一起，相互学习。通过研讨会期间的介绍和详细讨论，与会者将确定长期合作倡议。技术优点：在美国和埃及，已经和正在开发许多自然和人工设计的水处理工艺，但在许多情况下，由于技术和管理原因，这些工艺的实施进展缓慢。与会者将分享与不同过程的基础化学，生物学和工程相关的信息和想法，并分享如何在两国实施这些过程的想法。更广泛的影响：水的再利用具有重要价值，特别是对于水资源有限且人口不断增加的国家，如埃及和美国，以及大多数中东国家。这一领域的发展有助于减少对淡水资源的需求，并减少水污染。至少有六名美国大学的学生将参加研讨会，并将受益于研究人员的经验，了解新的创新过程和国际环境问题上的合作。讲习班报告将侧重于对未来合作的建议，并将包括口头和海报介绍的副本。该项目得到了美国-埃及联合基金计划的支持，该计划为两国的科学家和工程师提供赠款，以开展这些联合科学活动。部分支持由NSF的化学，生物工程，环境和运输系统部门提供。

0646801 CooperThis award supports a "US-Egypt Workshop on Innovative Technologies for Water, Wastewater, Sludge and Other Contaminated Waters" to be held in Cairo, Egypt in May 2007. The organizers are Dr. William Cooper, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California at Irvine and Dr. Hussein Abdel-Shafy, National Research Center, Cairo, Egypt. The workshop will include scientists in multidisciplinary areas from several U.S. universities and from several universities and research institutes in Egypt. Other countries invited to participate include Tunisia and Morocco. The objectives are to establish long-term collaborative research projects between U.S. scientists and those from Egypt and other countries in the region. The program will include presentations and discussions of recent advances in treatment processes and concepts and their application to the treatment of waters for various uses. The workshop will provide adequate and designated time for participants to get together in informal groups and learn from each other. From the presentations and detailed discussions throughout the duration of the workshop, longer term collaborative initiatives will be identified by the participants. Technical Merit: There are many natural and man-designed water treatment processes that have been and are being developed in the U.S. and in Egypt, but in many cases the implementation of these processes is slow for technical and management reasons. The participants will share information and ideas related to the fundamental chemistry, biology and engineering of different processes and share ideas of how these processes can be implement these in the two countries. Broader Impact: Water re-use is of significant value, especially for countries with limited water resources and with increasing populations such as Egypt and the U.S., as well as most Middle East countries. Developments in this field can help reduce water demand on fresh water resources and also reduce water pollution. At least six students in U.S. universities will participate in the workshop and will benefit from the experience of the researchers and will learn about new innovative processes and about cooperation on international environmental problems. The workshop report will focus on recommendations for future collaborations, and will include copies of the oral and poster presentations. This project is being supported under the US-Egypt Joint Fund Program, which provides grants to scientists and engineers in both countries to carry out these joint scientific activities. Partial support is provided by NSF's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental and Transport Systems.
