MSc. Student Muslim Jasem was awarded a MSc. Degree in Chem. Eng. from the Department of Chemical Engineering.

  

The Student was obtained a MSc. Degree after discussion of his dissertation under the title: "Modification of membrane by carbon nanotubes for desalination applications", which was supervised by Prof. Dr. Qusay Fadel Abdul Hamid, on Tuesday 12/6/2018 inside Al-Khwarizmi Hall in Chemical Engineering Department-University of Technology. The discussion Committee was comprised of; Prof. Dr. Ahmed Abd Mohamed, Asst. Prof. Dr. Adnan Abdul Jabbar and Lect. Dr. Nisreen Sabah. The student explained that Flat sheet membranes were manufactured by embedded alumina (Al2O3) and functionalized MWCNTs (MWCNTs-COOH) with PVDF-Co-HFP membrane in N,N-Dimethyl acetamide (DMAc) via the phase-inversion method. The optimum content of Al2O3 to prevent the wettability of the membrane was 0.2 g. Various amounts of MWCNTs (i.e., 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 g) with (0.2 g) of (Al2O3) embedded with 22 wt.% of PVDF-Co-HFP were investigated.SEM, AFM, as well as contact angle (CA) and porosity tests were conducted to characterize the properties of the fabricated membranes. The impact of operative condition parameters liketemperature of solution of hot feed, feed flow rate, and concentration of the feed were tested to investigate the performance of DCMD
