The Department of New and Renewable Energies, as part of its continuing education activities, organized a scientific workshop on Wednesday morning, 25 February 2026, entitled “Modern Applications of Industrial Chemistry Techniques in Improving Product Quality and Reducing Pollution.” The workshop was held at the Ibn Sina Hall in the department, with the participation of a group of faculty members and researchers.

The workshop aimed to enhance scientific and applied understanding of the role of advanced industrial techniques in improving production efficiency and achieving a balance between product quality and environmental sustainability. It also addressed the global transformation in the chemical industry from traditional models to more efficient systems through the adoption of process intensification, which reduces energy consumption and maximizes production yield, in addition to reinforcing the concept of the circular economy by minimizing waste and promoting reuse and recycling.

Furthermore, the workshop highlighted key technologies for reducing industrial pollution, particularly advanced oxidation processes for treating complex organic pollutants, and adsorption techniques using nanomaterials to enhance the removal of pollutants from water and industrial gases. These approaches contribute to the development of innovative industrial solutions that reduce emissions and improve the environmental performance of production facilities.

The workshop lectures were delivered by Lecturer Dr. Zainab Abdulaziz, Assistant Lecturer Omar Younis Ismail, and Assistant Lecturer Inas Abdulqadir, who presented scientific topics supported by recent research examples, with notable interaction from attendees.

This workshop is part of a series of scientific activities organized by the Department of New and Renewable Energies in support of scientific research and to promote a culture of sustainable energy among students and researchers.
