The Department of Materials Engineering at the University of Technology awarded a PhD to the  student Zahraa Adnan Hamza on Wednesday, September 11/9/ 2024, in the Graduate Studies hall  in Building B, for her thesis entitled:

“Desulfurization of refinery equipment with modified coating layers"

This study aim to design catalytic coating layers  for internal surfaces of equipment by photocidative desulfurization. Obtained results showed that catalytic coating layers aided to reduce sulfur in fuel and better than  conventional desulfurization in refineries and also lowered pollution by eliminating SO2 emissions.
