| 2759479 | Building mortar modified with nanomaterials | Dr.. Abbas Abdel Hussein Abdel Nour / Prof. Alexander Petrovj / Prof. Vera Vladimirovna | 9/15/2021 | The invention relates to building materials, and this mortar can be used in construction work with solid or perforated clay bricks, as well as wire bricks, in a hot, dry climate at temperatures up to 40-50 degrees Celsius. The technical result is to ensure workability, water holding capacity and adjustable setting time control of the mortar. The technical result was achieved due to the fact that the building mortar consists of the following components (weight percentage): Portland cement – 010.8-16.90; Sand with a fineness factor from 1.5 to 2.0 for construction work – 69.50-80.70; Nano-modified amorphous silicon dioxide –0.01-0.12; Citric acid – 0.002-0.02 or nitrilotrimethylene phosphonic acid – 0.012-0.035, or sodium gluconate – 0.005-0.05, or sodium linosulfonate – 0.01-0.05; Saponified wood resin – 0.02-0.15 or neutral air resin – 0.01 – 0.15; Water – 8.5 – 13.0. |

A mathematical model was developed that describes the removal process with a correction factor approaching one. |
| 7995 | Finned anode reactor and cylindrical cathode for treating groundwater using electrocoagulation technology | A.M.D. Furat Yasser Sharad | 5/14/2023 | Groundwater is considered an important water source that is relied upon as an additional and large water reserve for use when surface water is scarce. Groundwater specifications vary depending on its location and depth, so some of it contains contaminants that must be treated. By developing and innovating highly efficient treatment methods that contribute greatly to treating polluted groundwater, one of these methods is the electrocoagulation method. A new electrocoagulation reactor (ECR) was invented and evaluated to treat real groundwater to reduce turbidity, total hardness, total dissolved solids (TDS) and total suspended solids (TSS) concentrations as well as Ca+2 and Mg ion concentrations. +2 to be acceptable for civilian use. The ECR reactor consists of a tubular anode with fins on its outer surface placed concentrically in a tubular cathode where the effective area of the anode is much higher relative to its submerged volume. Both electrodes are made of aluminum and are connected to a power supply that gives constant current in unipolar parallel mode. The effect of electrolysis time (4-30 min), current density (4.35-52.18 A/m2), and stirring speed (50-250 rpm) at room temperature was investigated. The results showed that these pollutants are directly proportional to the operational variables and reached high removal efficiency values at the optimum values of electrolysis time of 21.59 minutes, 52.18 A/m2 of current density and 50 revolutions per minute of stirring speed with the lowest energy consumption of 0.147 kWh/ m³ and 0.03 g/L of electrode consumption. |
| 5837 | Concentric tube electrode reactor for removing heavy metals from simulated wastewater by electrocoagulation method | A.M.D. Furat Yasser Sharad | 7/16/2019 | Water contaminated with toxic metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and others are considered the most toxic and dangerous to all living creatures. Therefore, it was necessary for researchers and scientists to develop and innovate efficient treatment methods that contribute to treating this polluted water. Among these methods are electrochemical methods, one of which is the electrocoagulation method. A new reactor design was invented to remove heavy metals such as lead from simulated wastewater using the electrocoagulation method, through the use of concentric tubular electrodes made of aluminum. The efficiency of the system was tested by examining the resulting samples using an atomic absorption spectroscopy device (AAS), where multiple samples of simulated wastewater were prepared with different concentrations of lead nitrate Pb(NO3)2 (10-300) mg per liter and under other influencing factors. Such as contact time (5-60) minutes, mixing speed (0-300) rpm, pH (2-12), and DC electrical current (0.5-2.5) amps. The innovative system demonstrated the effect of the innovative electrode design on the possibility of removing lead metal from simulated wastewater. Through research, it was found that the innovative electrocoagulation reactor is characterized by high efficiency in producing aluminum hydroxide, which is useful and very important in the adsorption process, thus obtaining a high percentage of lead removal from water. Contaminated. Thus, the results showed a clear superiority of the innovative design over the traditional methods adopted in chemical coagulation or adsorption, which depend on adding chemicals or using different adsorbent materials. |
| 6632 | Fractal solar cell | A.M.D. Mounir Ali Lilo | 4/20/2021 | Modeling of charge transfer during the sensitization process is one of several active research areas for the development of dye-sensitized solar cells in order to control and improve their performance and efficiency. It has been proven that mathematical models of electron density transfer inside semiconductors based on diffusion equations give good agreement with experimentally observed results with change in conductive materials and the general shape of the cell. Accordingly, the solar cell with a spherical shape was designed to give better results in terms of efficiency and generation of solar energy. .
