US-Egypt Workshop: Preparation & Applications of Ultra- Fine Particulates, Nov. 15-16, 1997, Cairo, Egypt

说明：该奖项是为了支持美国科学家参加“美国-埃及研讨会：超细颗粒的制备和应用，开罗，埃及，1997年11月15日至16日”。美国的领导者是佛罗里达大学盖恩斯维尔分校材料科学与工程系的Hassan El-Shall博士。讲习班的埃及联合组织者是位于埃及赫尔万的中央冶金研究与发展研究所（CMRDA）的Adel K. Ismail博士。研讨会的目的是将美国和埃及的科学家和工程师聚集在一个论坛上，探讨细颗粒领域的最新科学发展和技术进步，并确定他们的合作对双方都有用的具体研究领域。该研讨会之后将于11月17日至21日在埃及卢克索举行“不可再生资源开发工程基金会会议”。研讨会的主题将是：精细颗粒制备的先进技术；超细颗粒的研磨；描述;细颗粒系统分离；针对特定应用的表面修饰；研究需要。不可再生资源开发EFC将重点关注工业矿物、非硫化物矿物、硫化物矿物、能源矿物和环境方面。会议记录将在会议前公布。会后将提供关于科学合作领域的建议。范围：本项目涉及的领域在大多数国家试图开发其矿物和能源资源时变得越来越重要，因为随着高品位资源的枯竭，越来越强调对低品位资源的有效利用，制备和细颗粒的新应用。计划中的研讨会为两国的科学家和工程师提供了一个论坛，讨论细颗粒制备及其在不同行业中的应用所面临的挑战，以及它对环境的影响，以及克服这些挑战的可能的技术解决方案。El-Shall博士是美国国家科学基金会支持的佛罗里达大学粒子科学与技术工程研究中心的副主任。他将得到ERC和其他知名研究机构（包括哥伦比亚大学和犹他大学）的一些知名科学家的协助。CMRDA是阿拉伯国家最大的此类中心，为讲习班、随后的会议和预期结果的合作研究提供了大量能力。该提案符合INT标准，支持可能加强美国和外国研究人员在共同感兴趣领域的技术和科学合作的活动。

Description: This award is for support of US scientists' participation in a `US-Egypt Workshop: Preparation and Applications of Ultra-Fine particulates, Cairo, Egypt, November 15-16, 1997`. The US leader is Dr. Hassan El-Shall of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Florida, Gainesville. The Egyptian co-organizer of the workshop is Dr. Adel K. Ismail, of the Central Metallurgical Research and Development Institute (CMRDA) in Helwan, Egypt. The purpose of the workshop is to bring the US and Egyptian scientists and engineers in a forum to explore the recent scientific developments and technical advances in the area of fine particles, and to identify specific research areas where their collaboration would be useful for both sides. The workshop will be followed by an `Engineering Foundation Conference on Development of Nonrenewable Resources` on November 17-21, in Luxor, Egypt. The workshop topics will be: advanced techniques for fine particle preparation; grinding of ultra-fine particles; characterization; separation of fine particle systems; surface modifications for specific applications; and research needs. The EFC on Development of Nonrenewable Resources will focus on industrial minerals, non sulfide minerals, sulfide minerals, energy minerals, and environmental aspects. The proceedings will be published prior to the meeting. Recommendations on areas of scientific cooperation will be made available after the meeting. Scope: This project deals with an area that is gaining in importance as most countries are attempting to develop their mineral and energy resources, because as the high grade resources are depleted there is increasing emphasis on efficient utilization of low grade resources preparation and new applications of fine particles. The planned workshop allows a forum for scientists and engineers from both countries to discuss the challenges facing the preparation of fine particles and its applications in different industries as well as its environmental impact, and possible technical solutions to overcome these challenges. Dr. El-Shall is the deputy director of the NSF-supported Engineering Research Center for Particle Science and Technology at the U. of Florida. He will be assisted by a number of eminent scientists at that ERC and at other well known research institutes including Columbia University and the University of Utah. The CMRDA is the largest such center in the Arab countries and provides a substantial capability for the workshop, the following conference, and for the cooperative research that is expected to result. The proposal meets INT criteria for supporting activities likely to enhance technical and scientific collaboration between US and foreign researchers in areas of mutual interest.
