Master Discussion
The College of Science for women at the University of Baghdad discussed the master’s thesis entitled(Green Fabrication of Silica-Metal Oxides Nanocomposites and Evaluating Their Efficiency in Water Treatment).
By the student:Shahad Luay Maatok.
This study aims to combine silica with metal oxides using a green reducing agent, which is aspartic acid, to be employed in removing pollutants from wastewater.
The study was conducted at the University of Baghdad, College of Science, Department of Chemistry, Republic of Iraq, from August 2024 to September 2025.
The study included the preparation of secondary composites from silica and metal oxides using a green reducing agent, and the evaluation of their efficiency in removing pollutants from wastewater.
The most important recommendations reached by the thesis are:
- Studying other metal oxides such as TiO₂, MnO₂, CrO₂, either individually or in various combined systems. Examine the function of midkine, preptin, and DPP-4 in the sudden cardiac death.
- Determining the optimal conditions to obtain the highest removal efficiency.
- Future studies can combine both photocatalytic and photothermal degradation methods using ultraviolet and visible light to improve pollutant removal efficiency and determine the kinetic pathway.
