The Master's thesis defense in the Chemistry department discussed "Spectrometric Microfluidic Techniques for Heavy Metal Ion Detection in Water." The examination committee consisted of the following members:
- Professor Dr. Noor Mustafa Ali (Chair)
- Professor Dr. Saadia Zaher Ahmed (Member)
- Professor Dr. Mohammed Jassim Hamza (Member)
- Assistant Professor Dr. Diaa Shamkh Zghair (Supervisor)
- Assistant Professor Dr. Khawla Abdul Kareem Kassar (Supervisor)
The study aims to develop microfluidic techniques based on spectroscopic analysis for detecting heavy metal ions in water. These techniques have been designed to enhance sensitivity, selectivity, and speed compared to traditional methods, thus contributing to more efficient and accurate water pollution monitoring.
Summary:
This study focuses on utilizing advanced microfluidic systems that rely on spectroscopic analysis to detect heavy metal ions such as lead, cadmium, and mercury in water samples. The device is designed to integrate light sources and detectors within small microfluidic channels to improve interaction between the detectors and the targeted ions.The results showed that the system is capable of detecting very low concentrations of heavy metal ions with high accuracy and in a short time, with the possibility of continuous and direct measurements on-site. These results highlight the great potential of these technologies in environmental applications and water resource management.
