The Department of Chemistry organized an electronic scientific lecture delivered by a doctoral student (Rahim Karam Zaboon) through the FCC program, entitled Adsorption in Solutions.

The  lecture included shedding light on one of the effective separation methods in the treatment of polluted water, and the lecture dealt with the definition of the origins, sources, transformations and fate of pollutants and treatment methods, and the definition, features and types of adsorption and its practical study in the two methods of the batch method and adsorption column and isotherms equations and their classification and specifications and the factors affecting and its mechanics Adsorbents, types of active sites, solvent effect, Traube's rule and their practical application in the adsorption of a series of carboxylic acids, and the acidic and basic behavior of surface containing oxygen groups. The lecture also dealt with examples about the mechanisms and conditions of adsorption of some drugs and the element lead from their aqueous solutions.
