A joint research team in the College of Engineering, University of Al-Mustansiriyah conducted a joint study on using ceramic waste as an adsorbent to remove contaminated dyes from industrial water. The joint study aimed at treating industrial water, by means of a low-cost method that depends on using of materials, which are not recyclable, resulting from building demolitions, as an excellent base for removing polluted dyes, especially since the traditional used methods in this field are very expensive. The joint study, in which published in the British Journal of Materials Science and Engineering in Scopus, demonstrating conducting a number of experiments via using ceramic powder wastes in adsorbed doses of (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3) g, to remove methylene blue dye from wastewater at concentrations of (10, 20, 30) parts per million, at a pH ranging between (4-9) and with an adsorption time (0, 30, 60, 90 and 120) minutes, as well as a FTIR test for adsorption media. It is worth mentioning that the joint research team was faculty members, Mrs. Sorour Ata A-llah Khalifa, Dr. Basma Mohammad Fahad and Dr. Hoda Tariq Hamad.
