The Chemical Engineering Department holds a seminar entitled "Toluene alkylation with 1-heptene: the influence on reaction selectivity of different coke pre-cursors."

Within the activities of scientific activity for the first semester of the Department of Chemical Engineering for the academic year 2019-2020, Dr. Ali Raad has presented his seminar in the presence of the chairman of the chemical engineering department Dr. Jamal Manea Ali, faculty members, and graduate students. This seminar took place on Thursday, December 26, 2019, at Ibn Al-Rushd Hall. Dr. Ali Raad showed through his research results that the structure of carbonaceous deposits that are formed from toluene pre-coking is graphitic-like. Additionally, Toluene pre-coked HY zeolite showed enhanced selectivity to 2-heptyltoluene (from ~26 % to ~33 % for HY5.1) with a significant decrease in the amount of coke formed.
