Assistant Professor

Applied Chemistry, University of Kashan, Kashan, Iran, 2015-Now.

Fields of Research: Gaseous, liquid and solid fuels production from bio resources. Biodiesel production from algae and other oily biomasses in supercritical conditions. Water, methanol, hexane and acetone in supercritical conditions is used for biomass conversion to biofuels in our Lab. Nanocomposites for bio applications is my other field of research. Extraction of chemicals from medicinal herbs for using in controlled drug delivery systems, especially polymer nanocomposites.

Current research projects: Kinetic study of biodiesel production processes in supercritical environment and conversion studies of bio-aviation fuels production processes in supercritical environment.

 

PhD

Applied Chemistry, University of Tehran, Tehran-Iran, 2011-2015.

Field of Research: Catalytic renewable fuels production from biomass.

More specifically, in my PhD thesis, I have focused on the production of hydrogen gas from biomass feedstock using catalytic sub and supercritical water gasification.  Ni, Ru, Cu and K are the metals we are working on. Renewable liquid fuels production especially higher alcohols and ethers is our parallel aim in the thesis. With progressing the experimental steps of thesis, we could produce relatively significant amounts of higher alcohols from a catalytic subcritical methanol/water process as well as hydrogen production was successful.
 

 

Master of Science

Applied Chemistry, University of Tabriz, Tabriz-Iran, 2008-2011.

Field of Study: Anticorrosion behavior of electroactive polymer coatings on steel.

In MSc thesis we try to inhibit the steel electrochemical corrosion with polymer nanocomposite coatings. The polymer matrix contain polyaniline as an electroactive polymer and Zn metal nanoparticles was applied as additive.  The nanocomposite coatings exhibited good anticorrosion performance. The field included courses such as preparation of polymer nanocomposites and electrochemical tests as CV and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

Abstract

A mesoporous SBA-15 was synthesized and functionalized by OH, NH2, and glutaraldehyde (SBA-15-GA) for covalent immobilization of Porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL) to use as a nano-biocatalyst in biodiesel production from castor oil. The process conditions (reaction temperature, biocatalyst amount, methanol content, and water content) were optimized with RSM, and their effects on FAMEs production were predicted. The supports were characterized using SAXS, FTIR, SEM, and BET techniques. The results of RSM showed that the temperature of 47.5 oC, catalyst amount of 0.5 g, methanol content of 0.34 g, and water content of 0.1 g are the conditions for the highest FAMEs production yield of 96.1%. The statistical data showed that reaction temperature, catalyst amount, and water content have a significant effect on FAMEs production yield but methanol content does not. The results also showed that increasing methanol content, water content, and temperatures can reduce biodiesel yield up to 7.3%.
