Master’s Thesis at the University of Basrah Examines the Impact of Paper Waste on Water Pollution
A master’s thesis at the College of Science, University of Basrah, investigated the use of paper waste in the preparation of fibrous cellulose materials blended with nanoparticles for the treatment of dye-contaminated water.
The thesis, submitted by the student Hawraa Kazem Abdulhussein, aimed to extract fibrous cellulose from paper waste and utilize it, along with silver and zinc nanoparticles, as environmentally friendly biomaterials for the removal of dyes from polluted water.
The thesis comprised four chapters, in which the researcher discussed the possibility of disposing of paper waste through the extraction of fibrous cellulose, the use of eco-friendly methods for synthesizing nanoparticles, and blending them together as adsorptive surfaces for treating water pollution caused by safranin and crystal violet dyes.
