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

9804829 Sultan描述：该奖项是为了支持伊利诺斯州内珀维尔全球环境技术公司总裁Mohamed Sultan博士、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博士以及埃及博士的合作项目。这项研究将以开罗市空气中的铅含量为目标，目的是评估其水平，测试减少铅含量的补救措施，并评估几种措施的结果。具体来说，科学家们计划研究点源，如铅冶炼厂，以评估这些源的扩散，以及它们如何使用基于K-e的湍流方法使用实验和扩散模型对环境空气做出贡献；然后，将对一个或多个过滤装置进行中试规模测试，并对沿排放羽流的微粒铅浓度进行补救后测量。范围：美国科学家是环境科学与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埃及的一个重大项目，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，这两国政府为本文提出的研究类型提供了广泛的设施。这位埃及合作者在流体动力学和能源系统方面拥有丰富的经验。待处理的问题是开罗和发展中国家许多世界最大城市的一个主要问题。成功的结果可以应用于其他情况。该提案符合INT在互惠领域支持美国与外国合作的目标。这个项目是环境保护署和埃及政府于1996年举办的关于环境清洁技术的讲习班的成果。环境保护署参与了该项目的评价和建议对该项目的支持。该项目由美国国务院管理的美国-埃及联合基金项目提供支持，该项目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. ***
