A master's thesis in the Department of Soil Sciences and Water Resources at the College of Agriculture at the University of Basra examined the equilibrium, thermodynamics, kinetics, and release of selenium in soils from southern Iraq.
The thesis, submitted by student Fatima Kamal Hammadi and supervised by Professor Dr. Muhammad Malik Yassin, aimed to study selenium equilibrium in various soils in southern Iraq and determine the isothermal equilibrium equation to describe the reaction.
The thesis included several laboratory experiments to study the adsorption of selenium on a number of soils from southern Iraq at four locations in Basra Governorate: Abu Al-Khasib, Al-Zubair, Al-Burjisiya, and Al-Madinah; two locations in Maysan Governorate: Al-Huwaizah Marsh and Al-Mashrah District; and two locations in Dhi Qar Governorate: Abu Zarq Marsh, both cultivated and uncultivated. The study aimed to study the isothermal equilibrium using the Freundlich, Langmuir, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich equations.
