Production engineering department at the University of Technology grants MSC to the student Shahad Waleed for her thesis ((Recovery of Chrome from Electro Chemical Machining Waste)).

The research dealt with the recovery of chromium from electrochemical waste. These wastes are hazardous solid wastes due to the presence of certain heavy metals such as chromium, iron, nickel, lead and molybdenum. At the same time, some of these minerals are of high value and are high in waste such as chlorum, iron and nickel. Therefore, recovery of these minerals saves the environment.The disccusion committee was chaired by Prof.Dr.Sami Ibrahim and the membership of Asst.Prof.Dr.Kadhim Noori from General Directorate of Vocational Education and Lect.Dr. Makarim Hazim from University of Technology.
