The Department of Chemical Engineering holds a workshop on successful leadership.

Within the cultural and scientific activity of the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Technology, the Graduates Follow-up Unit organized a workshop entitled “The Successful Leader” for students of the third and fourth stages on Wednesday, 5/17/2023. The workshop included a lecture by Mr. Fahd Kailan, Director of Human Resources for Al Baraka Industrial Investments Company, during which he gave a detailed presentation on the nature of the concept of leadership, the qualities of a successful administrative leader, leadership obstacles and methods of treatment, as well as addressing the leadership methods and skills of the successful leader. The workshop concluded with awarding certificates of appreciation by the Head of the Chemical Engineering Department, Prof. Dr. Jamal Manea Al-Rubaie, to the participants in the workshop.

The Department of Chemical Engineering discusses a master's thesis on the manufacture of a front osmosis membrane of PVC-PA for direct fertilization applications.

The Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Technology discussed the master's thesis tagged.

Fabrication of PVC-PA thin film forward osmosis membrane for direct fertigation applications

The student Bakr Mohamed Ibrahim's thesis aimed to fabricate composite thin films and evaluate them in the FO process for direct composting applications. PVC films with porous top surface structure were prepared in different concentrations by phase inversion process. While the PA thin film was prepared on the top porous surface of PVC substrate using interfacial polymerization reaction with different concentrations and reaction times to improve the performance of FO. A comprehensive characterization of the membranes was also carried out. The results showed that the water flow of the composite thin films improved with the reduction of the amount of PVC. It also showed an improvement in water flow while reducing the concentration and reaction time of the PA layer. Also, the effect of several variables on membrane performance was studied, including membrane orientation, flow rate, draw solution concentration, and feed solution concentration. It has been demonstrated that using a membrane with a porous superstructure surface as a substrate is a reasonable strategy for preparing a high-performance FO membrane.

       And the discussion committee consisted of Prof. Dr. Asawer Abdul Rasool Kweri, Chairman. And the membership of Assist. Prof. Dr. Harith Nouri Muhammad and Assist. Prof. Dr. Kazem Matar Shabib. And under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Qusay Fadel Abdel Hamid and Dr. Saif Ali Nuri. As well as scientifically evaluating the thesis by Prof. Dr. Raheeq Ismail Ibrahim from the University of Technology / Department of Electromechanical Engineering and Assist. Prof. Dr. Sama Muhammad Abdullah from the University of Baghdad / College of Engineering / Department of Chemical Engineering. and linguistically by Dr. Farooq Ahmed Mehdi from the University of Technology, and the thesis was accepted with appreciation (excellence).

The Department of Chemical Engineering organizes a symposium on environmental pollution and community health.

The Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Technology organized a symposium entitled Environmental Pollution and its Impact on Community Health. On Sunday 5/14/2023.

The symposium included a lecture by the expert, Mr. Zaidoun Khalaf Al-Saadi from the Oil Research and Development Center, entitled Studies of reducing the environmental impact in the work sites of licensing rounds with the Malaysian lokoil.Bashnef companies and the Russian petronas. The symposium also included a lecture by Dr. Ramez Mahdi Jawad from the Middle Refineries Company, entitled Modern Models Used in the Study of Pollutants Emitted from Oil Refineries. In it, he discussed the importance of environmental studies and preparing reports on project sites and their impact on establishing projects through determining the environmental impact. In addition, a number of students of the Environmental Pollution Branch presented a technical activity on the reality of environmental pollution. The symposium concluded with the distribution of certificates of appreciation by the Head of the Chemical Engineering Department, Prof. Dr. Jamal Manea Al-Rubaie, to the participants.

The Department of Chemical Engineering organizes a symposium on the importance of modern oil refineries and their economic role

The Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Technology organized a scientific symposium entitled the importance of modern oil refineries and their role in developing the economy on Wednesday, 3/5/2023.

The symposium aimed to introduce modern oil refineries and present the Karbala refinery experience and its pioneering role in supporting the national economy. The seminar included scientific lectures by Eng. Muhammad Fazaa from the Ministry of Oil / Director of Karbala Refinery, and Eng. Sattar Jalil Hassan from the Oil Research and Development Center at the Ministry of Oil. A detailed presentation was given during the seminar on the importance of expanding the establishment of modern oil refineries, as they are of great economic feasibility and have great importance in developing oil production and acquiring foreign expertise and skills in the Iraqi refinery industry.
