Research Identity

The research program focuses on the management of solid waste generated from factories and workshops in order to obtain materials that have attractive physical, mechanical, and electrical properties, which make them suitable for use in various industrial applications. It is also interested in recycling solid animal waste such as camel bones to obtain materials with promising mechanical and biological properties for use in bio-medical applications as substitutes for bones and teeth.

Objectives

Safe and effective disposal of solid waste from factories and workshops, which helps to preserve the environment and reduce pollution damage and benefit from it in obtaining alternative raw materials for expensive chemicals.
The use of these wastes in the preparation of nanocomposites that have distinctive mechanical, tribological and electrical properties, which makes them usable in various industrial applications.
Disposing of solid animal waste (camel bones) from the environment to reduce biological pollution resulting from the fermentation of these bones and the multiplication of bacteria causing diseases that threaten society.
The use of this waste to obtain nanocomposites that have distinct biological and chemical properties which makes them suitable for use as alternative materials for bones and teeth.
Developing the efficiency of the Faculty members of the research team in the field of solid waste recycling of all kinds.
Publishing the results obtained in specialized international periodicals, which works to raise the university’s classification and the possibility of scientific exchange between the University of Tabuk and other universities inside and outside the Kingdom.
Attempting to obtain a product. Knowing that most of the experimental work will be done in University of Tabuk.

Activities

Collecting various industrial wastes and using them as a cheap source of raw materials.
Adding some other materials, such as different types of ceramics, to these wastes after processing them to obtain composites with attractive properties.
Characterization and measurement of various properties of the obtained nanocomposites.
Collecting solid animal waste from slaughterhouses and processing them to obtain the important hydroxyapatite biomaterial.
Improving the biological and mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite by adding some other materials to it, which make it applicable in biomedical fields.
