U.S-Turkey Planning Visit: Collaboration with KSU Faculty of Forestry (Turkey) for Agro Residue Workshop

0527939库珀该奖项支持哈里森·库珀博士计划访问土耳其，与阿里夫·卡拉德米尔博士合作，在土耳其Kahramanmarais Sutcu Yman大学（KSU）组织一次关于农业残留的美国-土耳其研讨会。在这次规划访问期间协调的讲习班的目标是探索利用农业废料为造纸工业生产纸浆的技术，特别是在木材匮乏的土耳其。正在联系讲习班的国际参加者，并请他们分享他们在发展和使用制浆技术的各种方法方面的经验，以便在造纸中使用各种非木本植物。将特别注重东欧、小亚细亚和中东的农业废料。预计美国、英国和埃及的研究人员也将参加这次研讨会。计划中的讲习班很可能对许多缺乏木材的国家从农业废料中确定纸浆的替代来源非常有益，同时也对诸如美国等农业废料可能带来环境挑战的许多国家有益。

0527939 Cooper This award supports a planning visit by Dr. Harrison Cooper to organize a U.S.-Turkey Workshop on agricultural residue, to be held in collaboration with Dr. Arif Karademir at Kahramanmarais Sutcu Yman University (KSU) in Kahramanmarais, Turkey.The goal of the workshop to be coordinated during this planning visit is to explore technologies for the use of agricultural waste products for the production of pulp for the paper industry particularly in Turkey, which is a wood-poor country. International participants for the workshop are being contacted and asked to share their experience with various methodologies for the development and use of pulping technologies for the use of various non-woody plants in the manufacture of paper. There will be a particular focus on agricultural waste products in Eastern Europe, Asia Minor and the Middle East. Researchers the United States, Great Britain and Egypt are also expected to participate in the workshop. The workshop to be planned is likely to be very beneficial for identifying alternative sources of pulp from agrowaste for many wood-poor countries, as well as being beneficial for a large range of countries such as the U.S., where agricultural waste can provide environmental challenges.
