Within the scientific and cultural activities for the first semester of the Department of Chemical Engineering Department for the academic year 2017-2018, Prof. assist Dr .Zainab Yousif Shanen presents a seminar on " Solid –polymer –surfactant complexes for enhancing the flow in pipe lines"
On Al Khwarizmi Hall in the department at the presence of the Head of Chemical Engineering Department. Jamal Al-Rubaie and the Scientific Assistant Dr. Khaled Ajami and the administrative Prof. assist Dr.Walaa Abd-Hade Nuri and number of heads of branches, faculty and students. Prof. assist Dr.Zainab explained that the transfer of crude oil or oil derivatives through pipelines for long distances leads to a significant loss of pumping capacity due to resistance to friction inside the tube and the dissipation of pumping capacity in the troubled flow, so it was proposed a modern technology to increase pumping rates through pipelines conveying additives with nanoparticles called" the effect of these additives" on increasing flow rates is of great economic benefit, as it eliminates the need for additional pumping stations or expansion of the conveying pipe network to accommodate the increase in flow rate.

The Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Technology held a scientific seminar titled "Doctoral Study in the Department of Chemical Engineering: Thirty Years of Tender" on Thursday 26/10/2017 at the Dar Al Salam Hall in the Department.
Dr. Jamal Al-Rubaie, Head of Department, said: "The PhD programs aim at providing the needs of Iraq's human cadres for these scientific degrees specialized in scientific research and development, leading research teams working in various fields and deepening the links between the industry and the university by addressing Industrial problems through the development of chemical engineering sciences in order to keep pace with global progress in this field. The symposium included one session chaired by Prof. Dr. Mohamed Fadel Abdel and d. The lecture was delivered by the head of the Department of Petroleum Operations Engineering at the Faculty of the Future University, Prof. Dr.Essam Kamel addressed the conditions that called for the university and the department to develop a doctoral study and the problems facing Search during completion. The second lecture about (the problems of the oil industry and the role of graduate programs in solving them) gave a lecture in which the assistant director general of the company refineries center Dr. Jaber Omran focused on the role of graduate programs of master's and doctorate through research capacity, research excellence and transfer of knowledge to be used in solving the problems facing oil industries.

 The two professors in Materials Engineering at the University of Technology, Assist. Prof. Dr Asseel Bassem Abdel Hussein and Assist. Prof. Dr. Kazem Matar Shabib, published a joint scientific paper entitled "Study of the Effect of Glass Waste on the Mechanical Properties of Green Concrete" in Science Direct, Global Elesiver number 119 page (680-692) for the year 2017.
The study examined the recycling of glass waste of various industrial types after preparation, grinding and partial replacement of concrete with different concentrations and different periods. Mechanical tests showed compression results and a strong strength of 13% concentration. Recycling glass wastes reduces carbon dioxide and produces environmentally friendly materials.The Department of Chemical Engineering holds a scientific symposium about Ph. D. study.

 Publication of the two courses Lec. Dr. Qais Matti Elias and Assist. Lec. Walid Hameed Habib from the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Technology jointly discussed the design and evaluation of the performance of a cathodic protection system for the conveyor tube for cooling water of Al Quds Power Plant in Diyala Magazine. The results of the measurements after the actual implementation of the efficiency of the cathodic protection system to keep the pipe voltage negative within the standards of the global standard for metal Steel iron made of pipe.
