Department of Chemistry Organizes a Training Course on Modern Technologies in Wastewater Treatment

The Department of Chemistry at the College of Education for Pure Sciences – University of Samarra organized a training course entitled: “Modern Technologies in Wastewater Treatment.” The course was delivered by Dr. Mahmoud Saad Abdul Wahid and Assistant Lecturer Huda Matar Ibrahim.

The presenters aimed to introduce the concept of wastewater treatment as a process that is no longer traditional and limited to pollutant removal, but has evolved into an integrated system based on resource recovery and sustainability.

The lecturers reviewed the most prominent advanced technologies in wastewater treatment, foremost among them modern membrane technologies, such as Membrane Bioreactors (MBR), which combine biological treatment with membrane filtration to produce high-quality water suitable for reuse. They also discussed forward osmosis technology, as well as graphene and nanomembranes that contribute to improving separation efficiency and reducing biofouling.

The course concluded with a set of recommendations, most notably emphasizing the importance of adopting these modern technologies in research and applied projects within university laboratories, in addition to encouraging students to keep pace with scientific developments in ways that support scientific research, serve the community, and achieve sustainable development goals.
