The British University in Egypt (BUE) is proud to highlight the exceptional research conducted by our undergraduate students in the Chemical Engineering Department. These projects, supervised by Dr. Dalia Amer Ahmed, demonstrate the university’s commitment to fostering innovation and addressing pressing environmental challenges.

1. Green Nano-Adsorbent for Heavy Metal Removal (I)

This research project focused on developing a novel green nanocomposite, Carbonized Chitosan-Fe3O4-SiO2, to effectively remove heavy metals from aqueous solutions. By utilizing this sustainable approach, the team aims to mitigate water pollution and protect the environment.

2. Green Nano-Adsorbent for Heavy Metal Removal (II)

Building upon the success of the first project, this research explored the use of Carbonized Chitosan-ZnO-Fe3O4 nanocomposite for the removal of heavy metal ions. This innovative solution offers a promising approach to water treatment and environmental remediation.

3. CO2 Capture Using a Green Absorbent

This project delved into the critical issue of carbon dioxide capture. By extracting sodium silicate from biomass waste (sugarcane bagasse) and utilizing it as a green absorbent, the team aimed to develop a sustainable and efficient CO2 capture process.

These research projects exemplify the dedication and creativity of BUE’s undergraduate students. Through their innovative work, they are contributing to the development of sustainable solutions for environmental challenges.

BUE remains committed to fostering a research-driven environment that empowers students to make a positive impact on society.
