An international scientific team headed by a faculty member from the College of Chemical Engineering publishes research on Clarivate.
According to an international scientific communication, a joint international scientific team headed by Lec. Dr. Buthaina Ali Abed Al-Tamimi from the College of Chemical Engineering at the University of Technology and Asst. Prof. Dr. Mohammed Saleh Ahmed from the College of Engineering at Tikrit University published a scientific research paper titled:
Chemical mechanical polishing as an alternative surface treatment technique for corrosion prevention of carbon steel in an acidic medium
in Clarivate /Scientific Reports, a journal published by Nature.
The research examined the effect of chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) on the surface properties of steel used in the petroleum industry, with a focus on its corrosion resistance after treatment.
The results showed that the use of an oxidizing agent with a silica-based mixture improved corrosion resistance by forming a protective oxide layer. CMP also proved to be an effective alternative to traditional mechanical polishing, especially in acidic environments.
It is worth noting that the scientific team consisted of:-
- Department of Chemical Process Engineering in the College of Chemical Engineering at University of Technology.
- Department of Petroleum and Gas Refining Engineering in the College of Petroleum Process Engineering at Tikrit University.
- Department of Petroleum Systems Control Engineering in the College of Petroleum Process Engineering at Tikrit University.
- Department of Mechanical Engineering in the College of Engineering at Tikrit University.
- Department of Modeling and Design at Atilim University in Turkey.
- Department of Chemical Engineering and Sustainability in the College of Engineering at International Islamic University Malaysia.
This research is currently one of the few studies addressing this topic.
