1. Testing the effects of the product for treatment of waste water contaminant (Chromium-VI) from textile industries. 2. Development and establishment of the method parameters of selected analysis methods (toxicology tests, stability tests etc.) to be performed by an external laboratory. 3. Meeting with customers to discuss about the efficiency of our product through these test results. 4. Research and evaluation of scientific publications related to super oxidized water.

1.Biological treatment and purification of water using natural material such as algae. 2. Modification of raw material (green algae) using graphene oxide and crosslinking with glutaraldehyde. 3. Design and synthesis of new nanocomposites (as adsorbent) and testing for removal of different pollutants (such as, rare earth elements and bisphenol A). 4. Handling and operation of the ICP-OES and HPLC instruments for analysis of metal composition and organic pollutants respectively in the samples.

1. Development of capillary electrophoresis instrument for pharmaceutical laboratory. 2. Quantify and qualify the pharmaceutical products (Augmentin, Ibuphil) available in Tunisia.

Doctoral Thesis: Elimination of organic and inorganic pollutants by adsorption process 1. Synthesis and characterization of nanocomposites based on the intercalation of biopolymer cellulose in layered double hydroxide. 2. Testing of these nanocomposites for removal of arsenic, antimony and fluoride from synthetic and drinking water (A part of this research was performed during my stay in Finland). 3. Independent implementation of analyzes using ICP-OES.
