Forough Saffari

As a Master of Chemical Engineering Student that is about to graduate, I possess a diverse range of skills and experience in process design, optimization, and control. With my analytical and problem-solving abilities, I am well-equipped to contribute to the

development of innovative solutions in the field of chemical

engineering especially in my research areas that are waste management, electrochemistry, and wastewater treatment.

• Masters Degree Project (Thesis), McGill University, Montreal, Canada, Electrochemical Oxidation of Benzalkonium Chloride (BAC) using a Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) Anode (Wastewater Treatment), 2022-2024

Supervisors: Professors Viviane Yargeau and Sasha Omanovic

Using electrochemical degradation to oxidize benzalkonium chloride by using boron doped

diamond as anode and stainless steal as cathode. In the best condition, I was able to oxidize

BAC completely in around 30 minutes.

• Bachelors Degree Graduation Project, American University of the Middle East, Kuwait, Pyrolysis of Waste Tires, 2021

Supervisor: Professor Ahmad Mohaddes Pour

Creating a process from scratch to use pyrolysis for conversion of waste tires into pyrolytic oil

(Target product), activated carbon black, non-condensable gases, and ash. I used rotary kiln

reactor for doing the main reaction and designed it based on process variables. I also did

HAZOP and economical analysis for the process and its equipment.
