Assistant Professor Dr. Salah Mahdi Saleh, a faculty member at the College of Marine Sciences, University of Basra, has achieved a new scientific milestone by publishing his research paper titled:

"Magnetic Solid Phase Extraction Based on Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes for Water Remediation from Bismarck Brown-Y: Isotherm Study" in the Iraqi Journal of Natural Sciences and Nanotechnology.

The research aims to develop innovative magnetic nanomaterials based on multiwalled carbon nanotubes coated with magnetic iron oxide and utilize them to efficiently remove organic pollutants from water. This contributes to improving water treatment technologies and mitigating the environmental impacts of industrial pollutants.

The study results demonstrated the success of the prepared nanomaterials in achieving high Bismarck Brown-Y dye adsorption efficiency, with results consistent with the Langmuir model. This strengthens the potential for employing these materials in future water treatment and environmental protection applications. The research also utilized the latest nano-characterization techniques to verify the properties and effectiveness of the prepared materials.

This achievement embodies the College of Marine Sciences’ commitment to supporting sound scientific research and encouraging researchers to develop innovative scientific solutions that contribute to serving the community and addressing environmental challenges, thereby enhancing the scientific standing of the University of Basra in the fields of applied and environmental sciences.
