Chemistry Department

The Department of Applied Chemistry is one of the most important scientific departments in the College of Education, which began in the 2003-2004 academic year. It offers distinguished educational programs that comply with quality standards and meet the requirements of the labor market. It aims to provide qualified human resources scientifically and professionally to meet the needs of development plans in the country and to qualify scientifically and professionally specialized cadres in the field of chemistry.

Department goals:

1. Providing students with experiences and skills in the fields of pure and applied chemistry in line with scientific progress.

2. Providing scientifically qualified expertise and competencies to meet the needs of development plans in the country and serve the labor market.

3. Serving society and the environment by spreading awareness in the field of chemistry, providing scientific advice, and conducting academic and applied research.

4. Encouraging scientific research by strengthening communication with research institutions inside and outside the country.

5. Develop the students’ ability to face various scientific and practical problems and try to find appropriate solutions to them and improve the research of the bachelor’s stage.

Scientific laboratories:

The Department of Chemistry has three laboratories for preliminary studies, each laboratory can accommodate about thirty students. All these laboratories are furnished with laboratory furniture, which includes various glassware and some laboratory devices such as sensitive scales, centrifuges, water baths, electric hygrometers of all kinds, electric furnaces, melting and boiling point measuring devices, viscometers, electrical conductivity, pH and electrical voltage, as well as spectrophotometers and other devices distributed over the four laboratories of the department, namely:

1- Organic Chemistry Laboratory, Organic Diagnostic Laboratory, Industrial Chemistry Laboratory

2- Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, Analytical Chemistry Laboratory and Instrumental Analysis Laboratory

3- Biochemistry Laboratory, Food chemistry Laboratory

4- Physical Chemistry Laboratory, Environmental Chemistry Laboratory

• Organic Chemistry Laboratory: Studying various organic compounds such as the methods of their preparation and interactions, studying heterocyclic compounds, their properties and methods of preparation, also studying extraction and distillation of solvents and knowing some of the physical properties of organic compounds, in addition to methods for diagnosing organic compounds using traditional and modern devices.
• Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory: This laboratory provides experiments for second grade students, where experiments are taught and conducted to prepare and purify compounds of the main group elements. It also conducts and teaches experiments for third grade students, in which compounds of transitional elements are prepared and diagnosed by measuring their physical properties or spectral methods, in addition to identifying crystallized materials and their properties, understanding the chemistry of transition elements, forming complexes and sediments and their types, and identifying different precipitated reagents.
• Analytical Chemistry Laboratory: Familiarity with the basics of volumetric and gravimetric analysis, studying the types and mechanisms of titrations, the mechanics of chromatographic separation, and studying its different types. This is done by teaching students in the first and second grades to detect the ions of atoms and how to determine their concentration using different volumetric and weighty methods.
• Instrumental Analysis Laboratory: This laboratory provides high-tech experiments in which fourth-grade students learn to determine the quantities of elements in trace quantities by atomic spectrometry, in addition to a highly selective liquid chromatography (HPLC) device. There are other experiments such as gas chromatography, which is used to separate chemical compounds.
• Industrial Chemistry Laboratory: In this laboratory, the basic concepts of polymer chemistry and the different types of polymerization are known, the composition and properties of polymers are studied, petroleum and natural gas studies and the main processes in the petrochemical industries, and the study of some physical measurements related to oil.
• Biochemistry Laboratory: This laboratory provides experiments on how to identify biological compounds such as sugars, carbohydrates, amino acids, proteins and fats through special examinations and specific measurements, in addition to teaching students how to conduct biochemical tests related to the human body.
• Physical Chemistry Laboratory: This laboratory provides experiments for second and third grade students, where physical chemistry experiments are studied and conducted in order to identify the principles of thermochemistry, study the concepts of kinetic chemistry, measure reaction speed and factors affecting it, deduce its laws and theories, measure electrolytic conduction and applications of conduction measurements, and study the various properties of liquids such as Surface tensile strength, density, viscosity, etc.
• Food Chemistry Laboratory: This laboratory provides experiments on how to identify the nutritional compounds found in foodstuffs such as water, salts, carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, fats, dyes and preservatives, in addition to food analysis experiments.
• Environmental Chemistry Laboratory: Estimating pollution substances in different environments (air, water, soil) and knowing the sources of their pollution, its causes, methods of control and treatment mechanism.

Career opportunities for graduates of the department

A graduate of the Department of Applied Chemistry can work in the following fields:

Pharmaceutical industry: A large number of pharmaceutical companies are spread in all countries. It is impossible for drug production laboratories to be free from the presence of dozens of chemists who are fully responsible for the production of all types of drugs and also for examination to ensure their quality. This specialization is one of the most famous and most important specializations among Science graduates, specifically those with an academic degree in biochemistry and special chemistry.

Chemical analysis: The science of chemistry is based mainly on the analysis of substances and compounds and the conclusion of the interaction of each of them together, and therefore the profession of chemist is one of the most required professions in both agricultural, industrial and medical units, which cannot be dispensed with continuous chemical analysis of materials, and therefore it is one of the most important jobs Which cannot be occupied by any other major than chemistry.

The field of medical analysis: Graduates of the Department of Applied Chemistry can work in one of the laboratories and can open a laboratory of their own after obtaining a diploma in the field of medical analysis.

Petroleum field: Graduates of the Department of Applied Chemistry can work in one of the petroleum companies, and their work is petroleum refining (and petroleum refining is intended to separate petroleum into other components such as gasoline, kerosene, and jet fuel through some chemical processes.

Water and Wastewater Companies: Graduates of the Applied Chemistry Department can work in water companies, where they desalinate and treat water so that it is safe to drink. He can also work in sewage companies.

Industry: Graduates of the Applied Chemistry Department can work as a chemist in various factories such as: pharmaceutical and medical preparation factories, food factories, oils and soft drinks, paper and textile factories, jewelry and glass factories, perfume and cosmetics factories, soap and detergent factories, paint and paint factories, and polymer factories. and plastic

Scientific Research: Many countries are trying to develop scientific research in order to provide a better life. For this, they use the graduates of the Department of Applied Chemistry to work in research centers and academic institutions that carry out research work in order to make progress in the petrochemical industry, the pharmaceutical industry and other fields.

Standards and Metrology Organization and Quality Laboratories: Graduates of the Applied Chemistry Department can work in the Standards and Metrology Organization and quality and quality laboratories.
