Director of the Environmental Research Center the head of the Master's Thesis Discussion Committee

Professor Dr. Zainab Baha Mohammed, Director of the Environmental Research Center, supervised the discussion of the master's thesis of the student (Ahmed Safaa Karim) Department of Civil Engineering, specialization (Environmental Engineering) for his research entitled
‏Investigation of microplastics in surface water (river, dam, and marsh) a case study of the Tigris River
‏The researcher addressed in his thesis the treatment of plastic waste from 14 sites in the Tigris River, eight of which are in Baghdad Governorate, 3 in Kut Governorate, and 3 in Maysan Governorate
‏The researcher concluded that the addition of high and low activity WCA (0-15%) to the contaminated soft soil improved the compaction by reducing the compaction index (Cc) from 0.094 to 0.027 and the swelling index (Cr) from 0.0166 to 0.003 and 0.0064, respectively. In addition, the volumetric change coefficient and permeability decreased. With the increase of high and low activity WCA (15%), the volumetric change coefficient (kPa-1) decreased from 0.008 to 0.002, and from 0.008 to 0.004, respectively, and the permeability decreased from 2.7 to 0.04 (10-4) (mm)/s) and from 2.7 to 0.61 (10-4) (mm/s).

Director of the Environmental Research Center, member and supervisor of the Master's Thesis Discussion Committee

Professor Dr. Zainab Baha Mohammed, Director of the Environmental Research Center, participated as a member and supervisor in the discussion of the Master's thesis of the student (Abdul-Ilah Abdul-Hussein Lafta) Department of Civil Engineering, specialization (Environmental Engineering) for his research entitled (Effects of sample crumbling and particle size on accelerated carbonation of alkaline construction sludge treated with fly ash)
‏ The doctor received a letter of thanks and appreciation from the Department of Civil Engineering.

Congratulations on obtaining  a PhD

The lecturers and members of the Environmental Research Center, headed by Professor Dr. Zainab Bahaa Muhammad, congratulate the lecturer Iman Shaker Awad on obtaining a PhD from the Ural Federal University / Russian Federation in manufacturing ultrafiltration membranes from modified polymers by mechanical synthesis under the ball milling approach to treat wastewater from car wash stations.
‏The Ural Federal University also sent a letter of thanks and appreciation to the President of the University, Professor Dr. Ahmed Al-Ghaban, for the efforts made in supporting and sending researchers to Russian universities. It also sent a letter of thanks and appreciation to Professor Dr. Qusay Al-Salihi from the Department of Chemical Engineering in appreciation of his support and assistance to the researcher in completing the work. The university also stressed the continuation of joint cooperation between the two universities.
