BE/MUSE: Model Development for the Global Cycles of the Alloying Elements of Steel

[0223985] Graedel这个缪斯孵化项目将召开一次专家研讨会，探讨与钢铁有关的元素的数据需求和模型制定方法。材料预算是一种技术，原则上可以为研究资源的可用性、潜在的环境影响和政策选择提供有用的信息。虽然钢铁的数据相对容易获得，但对于普通的合金金属，包括硅、钒、铬、锰、钴、镍、钼和钨，情况就不一定如此了。钢的使用量是如此之大，以至于对于这些合金元素，它们的循环是由它们使用的一小部分合金元素所主导的。为了理解相互关系，并预测这些元素在未来的使用和可用性，将资源经济学、潜在的技术演变以及使用和回收策略结合起来的详细动态模型是必要的。讲习班将吸引来自广泛地理范围的参与者，并将探索现有的数据档案、信息网络以及学术界之间和学术界与工业界之间的伙伴关系。研究生将被用作焦点小组记者，以确保对研讨会进行详细记录，并使他们接触到一群具有国际地位的参与者。讲习班结束后，一名科学方案编制人员将在主要研究人员的指导下开始执行讲习班拟订的概念。该车间报告和初步模型构建有望为今后更全面的铁合金元素循环研究奠定基础。

0223985 Graedel This MUSES incubation project will convene an expert workshop to explore data needs and model formulation approaches for the steel-related elements. Materials budgeting is a technique that, in principal, can provide information useful for studies of resource availability, potential environmental impacts, and policy options. Though data for steel are relatively accessible, this is not necessarily the case for its common alloying metals, a group that includes silicon, vanadium, chromium, manganese, cobalt, nickel, molybdenum, and tungsten. The amounts of steel used are so large that, for these alloying elements, their cycles are dominated by their use a small-percentage alloying elements. To understand the interrelationships, and to predict the usage and availability of these elements in the future, detailed dynamic models that couple resource economics, potential technological evolution, and use and recycling strategies will be necessary.The workshop will draw participants from a broad geographic spectrum, and will explore available data archives, information networks, and partnerships among academia and between academia and industry. Graduate students will be used a focus group reporters, both to ensure a detailed record of the workshop and to expose them to a group of participants of international stature.Following the workshop, a scientific programmer, under the guidance of the principal investigators, will begin the implementation of the concepts developed at the workshop. The workshop report and the preliminary model construction are expected to be the basis for more comprehensive research on iron alloying element cycles in the future.
