بازديد متخصصان پژوهشگاه صنعت نفت از آزمايشگاه هاي دانشكده مهندسي معدن

Visit of experts from the Research Institute of Petroleum Industry to the laboratories of the School of Mining Engineering

During a two-day visit on the 3rd and 4th of Mehr 1403 (September 25-26, 2024), senior experts from the Research Institute of Petroleum Industry visited the mineral analysis laboratories of the School of Mining Engineering. Due to the expertise and capabilities of the X-ray laboratory at the School of Mining Engineering, a new pathway for the analysis and identification of organic components of bitumen and asphaltenes using the X-ray diffraction method was established for the first time in the country. This significant initiative, led by Dr. Golnaz Jozanikohan, a faculty member of the School of Mining Engineering and head of the X-ray laboratory, is currently being planned and finalized.

In line with this, a proposal for a joint cooperation agreement between the School of Mining Engineering at the University of Tehran and the Research Institute of Petroleum Industry has been presented by the institute's representatives to systematically utilize the services of the X-ray laboratory. This proposal is under review and being pursued. It is hoped that this effort will take another step toward self-sufficiency by meeting the analytical needs of the country's petroleum industry through the expertise of domestic specialists.
