The Department of Chemical Engineering organized a scientific awareness workshop for its students titled “Separation Techniques in the Chemical Industry,” under the supervision of Ms. Zainab Hassan Ali, with the participation of a select group of graduates from the Oil Institute, namely: Karar Ali Mazhar, Mohammed Baqir Hussein, and Mahdi Anwar Hassan, as part of efforts to support the practical aspect of the curriculum and enhance students’ hands-on experience.
The workshop aimed to introduce students to the most important separation techniques used in the chemical and petroleum industries, explaining the stages oil goes through from the moment it emerges from the wells until it reaches the distillation towers, as well as addressing the most prominent problems facing industrial processes, such as corrosion.
The workshop also provided a detailed explanation of several common separation methods, including distillation, absorption, extraction, and filtration, highlighting their practical applications in factories and industrial facilities, thereby linking theoretical knowledge with practical application.
This event is part of the department’s efforts to enhance the educational process and improve student proficiency, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 4 on quality education and Goal 9 on industry, innovation, and infrastructure.
