Biography
Dr. Mamdouh Omran is an Academy Research Follow in Process Metallurgy Research Unit at University of Oulu.
Omran's research focuses on the use of microwaves energy in refining the physical properties of primary minerals, expedite chemical reactions, and recover valuable metals from secondary resources. Current his research mainly focusing on:
- Understand the interaction mechanism of microwave energy with materials and how such data underpins scale up of microwave processes to the industrial scale
- Using microwave energy for the recovery and recycling of valuable metals from primary raw materials and secondary metallurgical industries wastes
-
Using microwave energy for catalyze or accelerate the reduction reaction (for instance, Hydrogen reduction).
He is currently working or principal investigator in the following projects:
- Sustainable recycling of steelmaking wastes by innovative combining microwaves and biomass – Academy of Finland
- Eco-LIB - Eco-friendly and sustainable method for recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries – EU Interreg Aurora
- Heat Battery – Utilization of industrial side streams for sustainable energy storage
- GOVMAT- Multi-level governance of critical materials for future electric mobility – Academy of Finland
- SLAGREUS - Reuse slag from integrated steelmaking – European commission (RFCS)
