Department of Materials Engineering awards a PhD degree in the field of photocatalytic composite nanomaterials
The Department of Materials Engineering at the University of Technology awarded a PhD to the student Hadeel Ahmed Abbas on Monday, 16/9/ 2024, in the Graduate Studies Hall in Building B, for her thesis entitled:
"Fabricating an Unique Visible Light-Induced g-C3N4 nanorods/MXene Composite Photocatalyst for Efficient Degradation of Pharmaceuticals contaminate Wast water"
This study aimed to manufacture a nanophotocatalyst that works under light that simulates sunlight to remove pharmaceutical pollutants from wastewater coming out of hospitals without a central treatment unit for it. XRD, FESEM, EDS, HPLC BET and TOC examinations were conducted, and the results showed that the removal rate of pharmaceutical materials was very arge, reaching 94% for azithromycin and Clindamycin and 95% for moxifloxacin and the percentage of removal of organic carbon materials was also large and had a significant impact on human health and the environment.
The discussion committee consisted of Prof. Dr. Jawad Kazim Aliwi as Chairman and the membership of Prof. Dr. Ammar Saleh Abbas, Prof. Dr. Kazim Matar Shabib, Prof. Dr. Sarmed Imad Ibrahim, and Asst. Prof. Dr. Zainab Naif Rashid. The thesis was supervised by Prof. Dr. Ahmed Mohammed Hassan Al-Ghaban/President of the University of Technology, and Asst. Prof. Dr. Khaled Khadir Abbas. The thesis was scientifically evaluated by Prof. Dr. Mahmoud Khazal Hammadi, Prof. Dr. Taleb Mohammed Naif, and linguistically by Dr. Ali Abdul Karim Mohsen.
The Department of Materials Engineering awards a Master’s degree in the field of aluminum welding using nanoparticles.
The Department of Materials Engineering at the University of Technology awarded a master’s degree to the student Tamara Amer Abbas on Thursday, 12/9/ 2024, in the Graduate Studies Hall in Building B, for her thesis entitled:
Optimization of" Stir-welding parameters for Aluminum-MatrixNanocomposite"
This study aimed to improve the mechanical properties by adding silicon carbide and alumina Nanoparticles to the aluminum alloy (AA6061-T6). The analysis of the mechanical properties were accomplished using Taguchi design
and Assignment of Weight by (Minitab®20), The results were compared with welded samples in the same welding conditions without adding nanoparticles. The results showed a noticeable improvement in the mechanical properties With the presence of nanoparticles when compared to samples without nanoparticles.
The discussion committee consisted of Prof. Dr. Imad Saadi Abdul Karim as Chairman and the membership of Prof. Dr. Hanaa Arir Samij, Asst. Prof. Dr. Jamal Jalal Daoud. The thesis was supervised by Prof. Dr. Abbas Khamas Hussein, Asst. Prof. Dr. Laith Qais Abbas. The thesis was scientifically evaluated by Prof. Dr. Iyad Murad Takhakh, Asst. Prof. Dr. Saad Karim Shadher, and linguistically by Asst. Prof. Dr. Naseer Abdul Hussein Nasser.
Department of Materials Engineering awards a PhD in the field of manufacturing catalytic coatings for the removal of sulfur in petroleum products.
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.
The discussion committee consisted of Prof. Dr. Ahmed Mohamed Hassan Al-Ghaban as Chairman and the membership of Prof. Dr. Nevin Gamal Abdel Qader, Asst. Prof. Dr. Hamza Mustafa Kamal, Asst. Prof. Dr. Laith Waddah Ismail, Asst. Prof. Dr. Hiba Anwar Abdullah. The thesis was supervised by Asst. Prof. Dr. Gamal Jalal Daoud, Asst. Prof. Dr. Murtada Abbas Jabbar. The thesis was scientifically evaluated by Prof. Dr. Nabaa Sattar Radhi, Prof. Dr. Bahaa Sami Mahdi, and linguistically by Asst. Prof. Dr. Khaled Khader Abbas.
