The College of Education for Pure Sciences Organizes a Training Course on the Use of Carbon Nanotubes.
The Chemistry Department at the College of Education for Pure Sciences organized a training course entitled “Using Carbon Nanotubes for Water Pollutant Adsorption.”
The course was presented by:
Dr. Ammar Abdul Hussein Awad
Asst. Lect. Israa Qahtan Abdul Amir
Asst. Lect. Zahraa Mahmoud Shaker
This course aimed to provide participants with scientific knowledge about the mechanism of action of carbon nanotubes, which are considered one of the most important technologies in purifying pollutants from water through the adsorption process. The carbon nanotubes work together to adsorb pollutants from the water.
The course covered several topics, beginning with an introduction to nanochemistry, a branch of chemistry that studies materials and chemical reactions at the nanometer scale (1 to 100 nanometers). This involves understanding the relationship between the chemical structure and physical properties of compounds at this very small scale. The training course also included an explanation of the adsorption process, its types, and the factors that influence it.
The researchers recommended the importance of focusing on such topics to clarify the manufacturing methods of nanotubes, their types, and their properties. The lecturers also explained the process of purifying water from pollutants using adsorption and carbon nanotubes, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of this mechanism.
