Students of the Biomedical Engineering Department at the University of Technology participated in a scientific training trip to the state of Romania, which lasted for a week, in order to develop the capabilities of students in the applied side in the field of using and applications of advanced medical devices found in the laboratories of Romanian universities, which was the most prominent Polytechnic University in the capital Bucharest.

The students who participated in the scientific training trip from the Biomedical Department were the students Mina Walid and the students Ibrahim Abdel Jabbar and Ahmed Akram, where during the week the training took place on the devices in the university laboratories, especially in the fields of education, energy and electronic systems.

The participating students expressed their great joy at receiving a warm welcome from the official of the Cultural Attaché in the Iraqi embassy in Romania on the one hand, as well as their satisfaction towards giving them the department and the university this precious opportunity, which will be a fundamental reason in developing their capabilities in application success as well as theoretical and practical side.

Dr. May Ali Musallam, Director of Quality Assurance and Performance Evaluation Division, Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Technology, has published a scientific research in the Journal of Cleaner with Impact Factor (6.39) Production entitled:

Scavenging carbon deposition on alumina supported cobalt catalyst during renewable hydrogen-rich syngas production by methane dry reforming using artificial intelligence modeling technique

Elimination of carbon deposits on cobalt - backed alumina catalyst

Production of renewable hydrogen gas by redeveloping and improving dry methane using AI modeling technology.

In this study, the researcher explained how to use a mathematical model to predict and predict

To the extent of the catalyst supported by alumina during the process of dissolution of methane to hydrogen and the deposition of a quantity of carbon on the surface and the proportions affecting the process of sedimentation.

Professor Dr. Ali Muslim, Director of Quality Assurance and Performance Evaluation Division, Department of Chemical Engineering / University of Technology, published a research in an international journal with Impact factor 6.39 (Journal of Cleaner Production) entitled:

An overview of integration opportunities for sustainable bioethanol production from first- and second-generation sugar-based feedstocks. Overview of integrated opportunities for the production of bioethanol from raw materials based on first and second generation sugar

 In this study, emphasis was placed on determining the integration of first and second generation ethanol production from sugar cane.

Master's student Yousra Ali Abdel-Khader discussed her tagged letter:

A Novel Technique for Sulfur Removal from the Petroleum Heavy Oils))

(New technique for desulfurization of heavy crude oil)

The discussion was held at Dar Al Salam Hall in the Department of Chemical Engineering / University of Technology on 13/11/2019, where the discussion committee consisted of: Prof. Ahmed Daham as Chairman, Prof. Dr. Adel Sherif Member, Prof. Dr. Intisar Hussein Member and under the supervision of: Prof. Taleb Mohammed.

In this study, the student explained how to remove the sulfur from the real heavy crude oil with a sulfur content (5.8%) for the oil of the Halfaya oil field in southern Iraq using caustic soda process and with the help of sodium hydroxide. Sulfur (wt%), the most influential factors on the desulphurization process were determined.
