The Director of the Center for Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials Research at the Technological University, Dr. Khalid Ajami Sukkar, participated in the scientific symposium held by the Department of Chemical Engineering at Al-Nahrain University entitled Nanotechnology Applications.

 And gave a lecture on the applications of nano materials in the oil refineries units. The opening session of the symposium was chaired by Prof. Dr. Basem Obaid Hassan, Head of Chemical Engineering Department and Dr.Assama Akram Said, Rapporteur of the session and in the presence of professors and experts from the oil sector.

In his lecture, the director of nanotechnology addressed the importance of using nanomaterials in oil refineries, especially in the field of auxiliary factors, as it will create a significant economic shift in the oil and gas industry in oil refineries because of these properties of super properties.

And review the most important projects completed by the Center for Nanotechnology and the investment of applications of nanotechnology in the industrial sector in order to improve the economic aspect and increase the efficiency of production rates.

For the preparation and diagnosis of 3-Amin Coumarin derivatives as an antagonist, eat a natural organ with good inhibitory performance

In which the researcher developed an inhibitor of natural corrosion based on Coumarin as a primary nucleus of interactions.

 The objective was to accurately analyze the elements (carbon-hydrogen-nitrogen), infrared spectroscopy and NMR spectra, which revealed the precise structure of the environmental-friendly corrosion inhibitor. The corrosion inhibitory efficiency of the prepared inhibitor was evaluated in the hydrochloric acid solution by weight loss technique.

The inhibitory efficiency was increased on the basis of increasing the concentration of the inhibitor, where it became 86% with the highest experimental concentration. In addition to the inhibitory efficiency, there was a decrease with high temperature. The electron microscopy between the damping inhibitor of the soft steel surface has been achieved by absorbing the environmentally friendly damper particles on the surface of the mild steel and forming a film that keeps the metal from corrosion on the surface of the soft steel

The Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Technology held the scientific symposium (Water Sustainability and Challenges of the Future) in cooperation with the Faculty of Future University on Sunday, May 14, 2017 at the Dar  Salaam Hall in the department in the presence of the Vice President for Administrative Affairs. Prof. Dr. Hassan Shaker Magdy, Head of Chemical Engineering Department, Dr. Jamal Mana Ali, and a number of heads of branches, teachers, employees and students of the university.

The Dean of the Future College said: "Due to the importance of water as a natural resource to meet the various human, agricultural and industrial needs and the increasing use of water as a result of increasing population numbers and scarcity of resources. In addition to the increasing problems of pollution and salinity due to agricultural uses. And scientific utilization of the maximum of wastewater and saline recycling as an additional and important source of water.

The Department of Chemical Engineering said that the department always seeks cooperation with all universities and colleges, especially the relevant ones. He pointed out that the department has recently held a conference on graduate research which included several researches. Today we are witnessing another cooperation with the civil education. Where it discusses the issue of water sustainability in Iraq, which is important and sensitive in this period of time.

The symposium included three axes: the applications of membrane technology in the water sector, the second on the recycling and use of water and the third on the environmental reality of the Tigris River.

In conclusion, certificates were distributed to participants

(Improvement in reducing water flow impedance in nanotubes)

The nanowave fluid contributes to a significant energy and cost savings, as nanowire is added at low concentrations such as parts per million to the solution. These small quantities play a dominant role in reducing disturbance and causing a significant reduction in friction losses. In this study, the effect of nanotubes will be verified as a limiting factor for the disruption of water flow in pipelines. The tested liquid will be water, and the nanoscale fluid used is water and nanoparticles, which will be used in five different concentrations. The experimental part of the experimental system will consist of four different pipe types. The water will be pumped at different flow rates for each type of pipe and at room temperature. Study of the effect (additive type, additive concentration, pipe type, flow rate) on the percentage of reduction of disability and percentage of increases in flow as percentages. The best conditions are calculated to reduce disability in different tubes and in different operating conditions. The results of disability reduction will be linked to the basis of the adjustment using an arithmetic program. The results will show the correlation between the low disability ratio in the practical trials with the theoretical and expected results.
