In the presence of the President of the University of Technology, Professor Dr. Ahmed Muhammad Hassan Al-Ghabban, the Assistants to the President of the University for Scientific and Administrative Affairs, and a number of department heads, faculty members, associates, and guests from outside the university, the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Technology held. Monday, 6/24/2024. A memorial service for the death of the student, Muhammad Khaled Ajami, as a result of an incurable illness that did not last long. The council included the recitation of verses from the Holy Quran and the recitation of Surah Al-Fatihah
The deceased was characterized by scientific interests in the field of computers and its applications in the field of sustainable development. He is also characterized by high morals and a good soul, as witnessed by all his teachers and colleagues. It is worth noting that the late student Muhammad is the son of the Head of the Chemical Engineering Department, Professor Dr. Khaled Ajami Sukkar. He is one of the students of the Computer Engineering Department at the University of Technology and has a patent in his field of specialization. He was honored by the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research during the past few days during the Jusoor Program celebration. He also participated in many scientific exhibitions to support innovative and gifted students.
We ask God Almighty to have mercy on the soul of the deceased and place him in spacious gardens and inspire his family and those with patience and solace.

The Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Technology discussed the doctoral thesis tagged:
‎Treatment of petroleum refinery wastewater by using anoxic oxidation and nanophotocatalysts
On Thursday, 7/4/2024. The thesis of student Hisham Muhammad Majeed aimed to remove the chemical oxygen demand (COD) from the liquid oil waste left behind from the Najaf refinery, where the practical aspect included three stages. In the first stage, an electrode was prepared from tin oxide on a copper substrate, which was used in the anodic oxidation process alone, where a COD removal rate of 73% was obtained. In the second stage, the treatment was carried out using photocatalytic technology using a laboratory system consisting of a photoreactor, where
The results showed that the COD removal rate reached 77%. As for the third stage, anodic oxidation and photocatalysis techniques were used in a dual manner in a laboratory system consisting of an electrochemical reactor and a photoreactor, where a clear improvement was observed in the COD removal process by 89%, and at the optimal conditions, which are the current intensity of 10 milliampere/square centimeter and The acid function is 3, the dose of the catalyst is 0.1 g/l, and the time is 150 minutes. A mathematical model was also developed that simulates the photocatalysis process, and the results showed a very high convergence between the practical results and the theoretical calculations of the mathematical model.
The discussion committee consisted of Prof. Dr. Ahmed Abdel Mohamed as Chairman, and Prof. Dr. Zainab Youssef Shanin, Prof. Dr. Mai Ali Muslim, Prof. Dr. Furat Yasser Sharad, and Prof. Alia Khudair Majeed as members, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Khaled Ajami Sukkar and Dr. Ali Hussein Abbar / University of Baghdad / Al-Khwarizmi College of Engineering. The discussion was attended by the thesis coordinator contracted with the Ministry of Oil, the expert Dr. Zaidoun Khalaf Al-Saadi, Assistant Director of the Petroleum Research and Development Center. In addition to the scientific evaluation of the thesis by Prof. Dr. Ramzi Sayhoud Hameed from the University of Technology / Department of Petroleum Engineering and Prof. Dr. Rasha Habib Salman from the University of Baghdad / College of Engineering. Linguistically by Assist. Prof Dr. Farouk Ahmed Mahdi from the University of Technology.

 

The Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Technology discussed the master's thesis
Integration of Coagulation-Flocculation and Photolysis Processes for the Treatment of ROC
Thursday, 6/27/2024
The student Ahmed Falah Khalaf’s thesis aimed to propose a combined treatment system consisting of two coagulation-flocculation processes with photolysis to treat concentrated water resulting from performing the reverse osmosis process for wastewater from the Samarra Pharmaceutical Factory. The practical results showed the efficiency of the proposed system in reducing the levels of pollution present in this water, represented by turbidity, the total organic content (TOC), and the chemical oxygen demand (Chemical Oxygen Demand, COD) to the permissible limits according to the approved environmental standards. . Therefore, this proposed system can be used to treat other types of industrial water.
The discussion committee consisted of Prof. Dr. Zainab Bahaa Muhammad (Chairman), and Membership. Dr. Abbas Abdel Kazem Khalif and Assist. Prof Dr. Haider Abdul Karim Mohsen and Dr. Thamer Jassim Mohammed (member and supervisor), and Dr. Mukhlid Amer Hussein (member and supervisor). In addition to evaluating the message linguistically by Assist. Prof Dr. Farooq Ahmed Mahdi from the University of Technology from the Department of Chemical Engineering and scientifically by Prof. Dr. Shahla Ismail Ibrahim from the University of Baghdad and Prof. Dr. Kazem Matar Shabib from the University of Technology.
