Within the  scientific and cultural activity for the second semester of the Department of Chemical Engineering for the academic year 2017-2018 at the University of Technology, high studies student Saif Salih presented his lecture titled " Desalting High Saline Oilfield Produced Water Using Membrane Distillation" in Al-Khawarizmi Hall in the  department with the attendance of the head of the department Assc.Prof.Dr. Jamal Mana , both scientific and administrative deputies Assc.Prof.Dr.Khalid Ajmi and Assc.Prof.Dr.Walaa Abdul-Hadi , heads of  branches and the faculty.

The student In this study showed that  the membrane distillation is a thermal separation involving the transfer of vapor molecules through water-resistant porous membranes. In this work, polymers made from mixing polymer, polyvinyl chloride and polyethyl acrylate. This mixture was prepared by using free thrombolysis of ethyl acrylate in the presence of polyvinyl chloride and the spine was vaccinated for polyvinyl chloride with ethyl acrylate. The effect of the reaction time was studied at the following time (6, 4, 3, 2, and 1) hours. The success of the vaccination reaction and the reduction of the chlorine percentage of polyvinyl chloride were confirmed by using the infrared spectrum as well as the diffused x-ray of energy. The contact angle was adopted as a criterion for selecting the resulting mix at each reaction time. After selecting the best time of one hour, three samples of the membranes were prepared (12%, 14%, 16%) of the polymerized polyolefin In addition, three samples were produced with the same proportions of polymerized polymerized polymerized polymerized polymerization.
