Matrouh University advanced a number of research points In the areas of environment and water, including the project to protect the environment from pollution by removing heavy elements and dyes from water, and treating groundwater that suffers from high levels of salt, which prevents its use in the fields of irrigation and agriculture.
The New Valley University has also advanced a number of research points, including monochromatic white photoluminescence from liquid crystal and polymers: color tuning through a combination of thermal luminescence and mechanical color, the future of renewable energy production for solar energy and its role in the development plan (2030), and among the most important projects The research presented by Suez University, the microstructure and mechanical properties of alloy steel, and a low-cost respirator face mask for effective protection against bacteria, and a practical study on extracting water from atmospheric air using solar tube distillers, and among the research projects presented by Cairo University, design, implementation and manufacture Smart electronic meters, and design of desalination, water and wastewater treatment units. Helwan University has also presented a number of projects, the most important of which are: an integrated system for new energy for photovoltaic cells and a switch for the housing sector in the country under the slogan Made in Egypt, and a high-quality grease project manufactured locally from waste of oil industry.
Suez Canal University made a number of research points; To improve the production and maximize the utilization of waste water, including improving the production of biocontrol compounds for the actinobacteria of the cotton leaf worm using electromagnetic rays of low strength, maximizing the utilization of wastewater by preventing its pollution and using it for agriculture and converting its waste into bioenergy, and an inhibitor of liver cancer cells produced from isolated bacteria from the environment In Egypt, Assiut University has advanced a number of research points, including: sustainable development studies in the field of producing strategic alternatives to wheat, evaluating and raising the quality of raw materials in the southern valley, developing sugar beet cultivation systems in Egypt, and developing new compounds as antivirals, especially Covid-19.
The report noted the progress of Benha University in a number of research points, namely, the application of nano-zinc to improve the performance of ground cable insulation materials, an intelligent transportation system based on the Internet of things, environmentally friendly furnaces for the production of charcoal, the implementation of occupational safety clothing, a project to produce hybrid electric power generation units. Kafrelsheikh University has also advanced research points in the fields of energy, including: a systematic approach to decision-making for planning and evaluating accurate networks based on hybrid renewable energy with technical economic improvement, feasibility study and performance analysis of a hybrid network integrated with 100% renewable sources for agricultural irrigation pumps in Sadat City, Minya University has also submitted a number of research projects, including nanoelectrode-driven microbial metabolism to recover energy from domestic wastewater with simultaneous treatment, improve the performance of diesel engines and pollution that run on biodiesel, study the performance of cars that run on gasoline/propane fuel according to a driving cycle within the city.
Among the projects carried out by Al-Azhar University are a project to produce an environmentally friendly glass system suitable for radiation safety applications in nuclear facilities through the development of recycled waste materials, and a project on the use of river bank filtration technology to produce pure drinking water in poor villages on the Nile in Egypt. Damanhour University with projects, including: developing a mathematical model for thermoplastic sheets saturated with liquid, and among the projects carried out by Tanta University is to modify the performance of the small threshing machine, as well as a project on studying the performance of the local cooling tractor cabinet, and Alexandria University has advanced several projects, including: local gray water treatment and reuse the prototype.
Among the projects submitted by Sohag University are a project for a solar-powered adsorption seawater desalination system integrated with photovoltaic systems, a project to study the analysis of minerals and neurotransmitters for early detection and prevention of autism spectrum disorders in children from Upper Egypt, and a project for the impact of integrated weed control on wheat productivity Bread and accompanying weeds, and Menoufia University submitted a project to design and manufacture a multi-stage economic treatment system to treat the water of the Quesna region, and to design a nanometric compound from bio-waste to store solar energy for the sustainable treatment of saline water during periods of absence of the Shams for green community applications.
Among the projects presented by Sadat City are the production and control of vital processes of campytocin, which has anti-cancer activity, and the production of biofuels from the waste products of edible oil companies. Al-Arish University presented projects to benefit from the mineral sands of Central Sinai in the production of glass and phosphates, and to treat drinking water using safe biological means. And optimizing the use of water from reservoirs and dams to reclaim and cultivate desert lands. Beni Suef University has also presented an economic study to rehabilitate some mineral ores in the Golden Triangle area for some vital industries, safe disposal of dirt and cement, and production of environmentally friendly geopolymer materials. Aswan University projects include the production of LED bulbs operating circuits. A new gray water reuse technology project, and an environmentally friendly technique for dyeing bacteria using natural dyes from red beets and pomegranates grown in Egypt.
Among the projects submitted by Mansoura University are a project on double coating as a new technology to control the dissolution of urea in the soil as a step towards improving the sustainability of the fertilization method with nitrogen A, and a project for bacteria that promote growth by doubling the production of fatty acid in microalgae, and Fayoum University submitted several projects, including a project on the consequences The economic and environmental consequences of post-harvest losses during food supply in developing countries, while Damietta University submitted a number of research projects, including preparing new dyes for the development of textile dyeing using environmentally friendly supercritical carbon dioxide technology, and using available by-products of crops as alternative materials for straw bedding.
