Department “chemical”
The graduate study program is intended to prepare the student to carry out basic and applied scientific research in the fields relevant to chemical and petrochemical industries, in order to develop new products and/or improve the properties of existing products. Also, the student should be able to understand, realize and apply the basic principles of clean and green technology in the design and running different units for producing different chemical and petrochemical goods.
Vision
- To prepare creative engineers to design, manage and operate process units related to chemical and petrochemical engineering systems, applying green technologies.
- To stay ahead in chemical and petrochemical engineering education quality and research.
Mission
To give the student a good idea about the different aspects of the studied courses in the graduate program, the student should be able to apply the scientific bases he acquired from these courses in the different fields of chemical and petrochemical industries. Moreover, the student should be able to conduct scientific research in the relevant fields of these industries to develop new products and improve the properties of the existing products. Also, the student should be able to follow green technology principles in different aspects of chemical and petrochemical industries.
Objectives
- To prepare graduates for teamwork research programs in different parts of the world.
- To prepare creative engineers to design, manage and operate equipment related to chemical and petrochemicals engineering applications and systems.
- To prepare qualified students who can apply latest technologies to improve life quality by considering and addressing environmental issues.
- To give an equal opportunity for students from all countries to enroll post graduate programs.
- To establish cooperation channels between E-JUST and industry.
The SDGs that the lab serves according to research tracks:
Research Points;
- Waste-to-product Research;
- Changing waste materials to be used for further applications; adsorbents for wastewater treatment, water purification membranes, and energy storage porous materials.
- Minimizing the aggregation of plastic and agricultural wastes by recycling and transforming into a useful resource for different useful materials.
- Nanomaterials for Wastewater Treatment;
The preparation of different nanomaterials for wastewater treatment application. Also, different water treatment processes are used such as adsorption, membrane filtration, membrane distillation, and photodegradation techniques.
- Nanomaterials as anti-corrosion application;
The preparation of proper nanomaterials to be used for anticorrosion applications, specially, self-healing materials fabrication.
The interaction between the research and the SDGs is as follow;
- By 2030, substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemicals and air, water and soil pollution and contamination.
- By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally.
By 2030, expand international cooperation and capacity-building support to developing countries in water- and sanitation-related activities and programmes, including water harvesting, desalination, water efficiency, wastewater treatment, recycling and reuse technologies.
- By 2030, enhance international cooperation to facilitate access to clean energy research and technology, including renewable energy, energy efficiency and advanced and cleaner fossil-fuel technology, and promote investment in energy infrastructure and clean energy technology.
- Improve progressively, through 2030, global resource efficiency in consumption and production and endeavour to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation, in accordance with the 10-year framework of programmes on sustainable consumption and production, with developed countries taking the lead.
- By 2030, upgrade infrastructure and retrofit industries to make them sustainable, with increased resource-use efficiency and greater adoption of clean and environmentally sound technologies and industrial processes, with all countries taking action in accordance with their respective capabilities.
- By 2030, reduce the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities, including by paying special attention to air quality and municipal and other waste management.
- By 2030, achieve the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources.
By 2020, achieve the environmentally sound management of chemicals and all wastes throughout their life cycle, in accordance with agreed international frameworks, and significantly reduce their release to air, water and soil in order to minimize their adverse impacts on human health and the environment.
By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse.
