Preface

Chemical processes have made use of a wide number of organic solvents due to their efficiency in
countless unit operations. The increasing knowledge on the environmental, health, and safety hazards
associated to their use has significantly contributed to the search for greener alternatives. In the last
decades, several innovative studies have been interested in chemical process and environment. The
Objective of the organization of this event by the theoretical, experimental, and all innovative trends fits
perfectly with the following aspects: Chemical engineering, Environment Sciences, Corrosion and
surface chemistry, and Water treatment.
The first edition of (ISCPE2022) focuses on the progress of techniques for synthesis, separations
and the control of industrial processes in the field of process engineering. The seminar also deals with the
problem of corrosion in industrial installations and the use of new strategies for the synthesis of organic
and inorganic materials. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 Phase Equilibria
 Control and regulation of chemical processes
 Modeling and Simulation of Chemical Processes

 Separation Processes
 Water Treatment
 Corrosion and Surface Chemistry

Pr. Merzougui Abdelkrim, Chairman of ISCPE2022, University of Biskra

I would like to thank all my colleagues for their efforts and contributions as members of the scientific and

organizing committee to make a success of the first International ISCPE2022. The ISCPE2022 was

largely successful according to the patience of the participants.

Abstract.
The leaching solution is rich in metals (zinc, copper, iron) in the form of sulphide, which is retained by direct
chemical leaching in the midst of sulphuric acid from the Chaabet El Hamra mine deposit in Setif, which is part of
the Hodna metallogenic zone.
To extract the metals from the leached solution, we chose the optimum conditions: temperature 85°C, sulphuric
acid concentration of 2 ml/l, particle size 63 µm and leaching time of 120 minutes.
This leached synthetic solution at the following metal concentrations: zinc (II) at 2360.4 mg/l, iron (II) at 770.5
mg/l and copper (II) at 420.02 mg/l.
Selective extraction of leached metals (zinc, iron, copper) by Schiff's base Salicylidene aniline HSA, due to the fact
that this extractor forms stable complexes with metals that play an important role in biological systems.
The solvent extraction of leached metals, zinc (II), iron (II) and copper (II) by a Schiff base-type salicylidèneaniline
mid sulfate, was studied as a function of pH and HSA concentration. Stoichiometry organometallic complexes
extracts for each metal was determined by the log-log slope method.
The selectivity extraction of metals from the leached solution by HSA shows that the extraction selectivity of iron
to zinc is very high as copper with a 75% yield; and excellent selectivity in copper and zinc extraction with an
output of 65% and 70% respectively.

Keywords: Zinc, Copper, Iron, Selective Extraction, HSA.

Abstract.
In mines, minerals are found in a combined state. Two or more exist in the same sample. Given their critical role in
industry, obtaining these deposits in a separate state is vital. For this purpose, many techniques are common
practice, one of the most important of which is solvent extraction lauded for its simplicity and high yield.
However, in the course of metal extraction and under certain conditions, they can be combined into a compound of
two or more metals. This makes it an extremely difficult recovery process. In this work, we tried to understand the
behavior of nickel and cobalt in the same sulphated medium using capricic acid, as extraction, dissolved in
chloroform. We used a range of combination techniques such as calculation methods, visible and infrared spectrum.
It turns out that under experimental conditions, nickel and cobalt were extracted in a selective manner. The capric
acid extracted nickel and then cobalt. These lab findings lead us to use the capric acid itself dissolved in chloroform
to extract both nickel and cobalt separately, regardless of the mixed complex phenomenon.

Keywords: capric acid, mixed complex, nickel, cobalt, solvent extraction.

Abstract.
Our work is a study, which is carried out on weld beads, of a gas tank element made of steel, whose trade name is
P265Nb of chemical composition [C%: 0.20, Si%: 0.0079 , Mn%: 0.77, P%: 0.015, S%: 0.058, Cr%: 0.020, Al%,
0.03] and with a thickness of 3.3 mm, this tank is intended for vehicles, its manufacturing process is finalized by a
normalizing annealing heat treatment at a temperature of 920°C ± 10°C. The purpose of this work is the
optimization of the two welding parameters, which are the current voltage (U), and the filler metal unwinding
speed (V), this welding is submerged arc welding under solid flux. The principle of the characterization considered
consists in varying both the current voltage U that is between [31÷36] Volts and the unwinding speed, which is
between [28.01÷32.16] mm.s-1. It is concluded that these physical parameters have a direct influence on the
mechanical properties of the steel in question. The tests used are tensile tests and the micro-hardness test. Optical
images of the different structures of the different zones on either side of the welded cords of the ZAT are the
subject of more details.

Abstract.
The critical temperature (Tc) and critical pressure (Pc) are two important parameters to characterize a particular
fluid. In this work, we have studied the critical points of three binary mixtures containing hydrocarbon derivative
and carbon dioxide. Computations were performed using “ASPEN-HYSYS” simulator with the following
equations of state (Eos): Group Contribution Equation of State (GCEOS), Peng-Robinson (PR), Soave-Redlich-
Kwong (SRK), Zudkevitch Joffee and Kabadi Danner. The comparison between predicted and available reference
data are given to evaluate the accuracy of the thermodynamic model employed. The average absolute relative error
(AARE) of the calculated data was less than 4% for critical temperature and 0.7% for critical pressure. A good
agreement has been found between model prediction and reference data.

Abstract.
In the present research, based on the density functional theory computational approach, we investigate the ground
state structure of the SrAlGe superconductor compound through energetic, mechanic and dynamic stability.
According to the findings, although the EOS curves present that the SrPtSb phase is the most stable under
conditions of zero pressure reflected by the SrAlGe minimum total energy. The calculated elastic constants indicate
SrAlGe is mechanically stable. Moreover, elastic properties including bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young
modulus and Poisson’s ratio are derived from the obtained single-crystal elastic constants. In an overview of
dynamic properties, the detailed analysis of the phonon spectrum deduce a stable configuration with a doubled unit
cell and buckled AlGe layers. It allows to show how the experimentally accepted AlB2-like structure of the SrAlGe
compound is suggested to be dynamically unstable at 0 K.

Abstract.
In this work, the kinetics of mullite formation in different kaolin-natural phosphate composites was studied under
non-isothermal conditions, using DTA analysis. Three samples were prepared by reaction sintering of kaolin (DD2)
and natural phosphate (NP). The XRD patterns revealed the presence of mullite and hydroxyapatite phases in the
mixtures, while a partial disappearance of hydroxyapatite phase in the 70K sample at 1673K. The DTA curves
showed an exothermic peak in all samples in the range of 1173-1323K, which associated with mullite
crystallization. The activation energy of the crystallization was calculated using the Kissinger method, and the
obtained values were 332.59, 340.49 and 408.54 kJ.mol-1, for the samples 30, 50 and 70K, respectively.

Abstract.
The characteristic points of the liquid miscibility gap curve for the binary metallic systems have been computed in
this article. We are interested in recalculating the free energy related to the binary alloys over a different range of
temperatures based on the thermodynamic theory and gathering information from the bibliography. We may use
this computation to construct the phase separation curve from a program after extracting the mole fractions that
correspond to the common tangent to the curve of the free energy with two minima at different temperatures. This
simulation was carried out using the Matlab 7.1 programming language and the Redlich-Kister polynomial model.
The proposed code is applied to a wide range of binary systems, each of which has the special property of being
immiscible in the liquid state. We may then assess how well our results agree with those that have previously been
published and reach very satisfying results as a conclusion.

Keywords: Thermodynamic Calculation, Phase Equilibria, Demixing Curve, Newton – Raphson Method, Free

Abstract.
Petroleum refineries obtain their energy needs through direct fuel fire for process heat and steam generation (for
process use). Energy conservation is receiving a lot of attention as a result of the rising cost of energy. Heat
exchangers can be used to recover otherwise lost thermal energy. It has the potential to lower the total amount of
thermal energy consumed in industrial operations. Here a study of a heat exchanger problem of a catalytic naphtha
reforming unit of an SKIKDA refinery (RA1K) is carried out. At the inlet of the first reactor of the reaction section
at the catalytic reforming unit, the design temperature of 471°C was never reached after the start-up of the unit with
a mass flow of 60% of the naphtha, where 43687 kg/h). The essential device for heating the charge before entering
the reactor is shell-and-tube heat exchanger. we present here a study for a heat exchanger at the catalytic naphtha
reforming unit (Magnaforming unit) of the SKIKDA refinery (RA1K). In this study, the thermal characteristics of
the shell and tube heat exchanger in two-phase flow (liquid-gas) were investigated. In addition, the model has been
utilized for investigating the effect of different walking parameters (mass flow rate, inlet temperature, gas/liquid
ratio) on the thermal performance of heat exchanger using Aspen HYSYS software. The thermal performance
indicators such as the heat transfer coefficient (hi), overall heat transfer coefficient (U), overall thermal
conductance (UA), logarithmic temperature difference (LMTD), and mass flow rates for fluids circulating inside
the heat exchanger were determined.The simulation results show the important role of the studied parameters in the
thermal performance enhancement of heat exchanger. The results reveal that the ratio two fluids are supplied to the
heat exchanger significantly matters in this issue: the flow maldistribution has a important impact on the thermal
performances of shell and tube heat exchangers if two fluids are supplied from the same side.

Due to their large surface area, increased pore volume, increased porosity, and variable pore size, porous materials,
such as silica and mesoporous carbon, have attracted considerable attention in the fields of physical sciences and
biomedical sciences. Due to their compositional and biological similarities with natural tissues, synthetic nanoscale
porous hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanoparticles possess good biocompatibility, bioactivity and osteoconductivity and
have recently expanded their applicability in a wide range of fields such as as tissue replacement, drug/gene
carriers, and biocompatible coatings. In this study, we defined a new way to synthesize mesoporous hydroxyapatite
nanoparticles by wet neutralization method. The HAP particles as prepared were subjected to structural, functional
and morphological characterization. Mesopores in HAP have been observed for samples synthesized at pH 12.

Abstract.
Zinc oxide (ZnO), a wide-band gap semiconductor with a direct energy gap about 3.37 eV, has emerged as one of
the most promising metal oxide nanomaterials for practical applications in the above mentioned fields, due to its
optical and electrical properties, high chemical and mechanical stability.
Influence of Bi and Ga doping on structural, morphological and optical properties of ZnO nanopowders has been
studied. Undoped, doped and co-doped ZnO nanopowders with different concentration (ZnO: Bi 3%; ZnO: Ga 3%;
ZnO: Bi 5%+ Ga 3%) were synthesized via chemical sol-gel method. The prepared samples were characterized
through X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscope, UV-Vis spectroscopy. Wurtzite phase of all the
synthesized samples was confirmed through characteristic XRD pattrens, with an average grain size varying from
24 nm to 17 nm. SEM images reveal the change of ZnO grains size the Ga-Bi concentration (%) increases.
The results of UV analysis showed a decrease in the values of the band gap energy (Eg) and the Urbach energy
with the increase of the Bi and Ga doping concentration. The simple synthesis method proposed represents an
interesting approach to produce Ga and Bi co-doped Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanopowders, with promising potential for
different applications.

Abstract.
The main interest of this work is focused on the study of the influence of cold deformation on the microstructural
evolution and the mechanical properties of drawn wires in medium carbon steel of C68D2 grade intended for the
manufacture of spring mattresses. Also, on the effect of heat treatment at 950°C for 5 minutes on the evolution of
the microstructure, more particularly the pearlitic phase, as well as on the properties of drawn wires in order to
improve the mechanical behavior during shaping by drawing at TREFISOUD company.
In order to carry out this work, appropriate tests and experimental techniques were used, namely, the tensile and
torsion test to monitor the mechanical properties of the wires studied, and examination under an Optical
Microscope (OM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to follow the evolution of the microstructure. The
study concluded that the resistance properties increase with the reduction rate during the drawing process due to the
strain hardening effect generated by the plastic deformation and the grain refinement following the evolution of the
microstructure deformed. On the other hand, after heat treatment of the drawn wires at 950°C for 5 minutes, it is
possible to observe a specific reduction in these properties following the attenuation of the stresses and internal
defects due to industrial drawing.

Abstract.
Worldwide, enormous amounts of date palm waste are produced and squandered each year. An experimental study
on the mechanical properties of a polystyrene composite material made from date palm fibers was conducted in the
aim of valuing these wastes and protecting the environment. Various untreated (U) and alkali treated (A) date palm
fibers (DPF) loads were prepared, namely (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% by wt.%). Composite formulations of
polystyrene/date palm fiber (PS/DPF) were melt-blended together by extrusion method. It has been found that
adding 10% UDPF to the polystyrene matrix improves the material's tensile strength and strain at break. These two
features are reduced for UDPF dosage of 20% and 30%, respectively. While the tensile modulus gradually
increased with the loading of fillers. The tensile strength and elongation at break of PS-DPF are increased by the
alkali treatment, whereas the tensile modulus is slightly reduced. Additionally, the integration of treated and
untreated fibers has no discernible impact on the shore D hardness.

Abstract.
The handling of trash created by the growing usage of composite materials causes issues. Consequently, one directs
more and more of their efforts toward the creation of biodegradable products, either by using biodegradable
polymers or by adding biodegradable fibers to polymeric materials. In order to optimize adhesion between the
matrix and the load, the latter typically calls for a stage of accounting through chemical treatment of the
components. The purpose of this work is to create and describe a wheat-based PE-matrix composite material. The
latter is made by pulverizing sawdust and sifting it to a 180μm particle size. The samples are created using a variety
of tools and methods before being compressed and molded. Making the composite with up to 15% by weight of
wood It was done to optimize the operational parameters, including water absorption, the tensile tests, and the FTIR
analysis. According to the results, a 15% elaborated fiber composite has superior mechanical characteristics.
Finally, it can be concluded that the presence of wood significantly enhances these composites' mechanical
properties.

Abstract.
Photodetectors occupy a critical place in optoelectronic integrated circuits and they convert light into electricity.For
halogenated perovskites (ABX3, X=I, Br, Cl), when small organic molecules (CH3NH3+, CH(NH2)2+) are used as
monovalent A cations, the materials possess an organic-inorganic hybrid structure. The types CH3NH3PbI3,
CH3NH3PbBr3, CH3NH3PbCl3, have been widely studied in the field of photodetectors. Notably, mixed halide
perovskites have improved stability in air, compared to single halide perovskites. In this review, we provide a
comprehensive overview of recent advances in perovskite-based photodetectors focusing on versatile chemical
compositions and structures towards superior performance metrics. Perovskites are expected to replace commercial
silicon for future photodetection applications.

Abstract.
Excessive consumption of fossil fuels generates a huge amount of CO2which is the major contributor to the climate
changes and global warming
In the present work, we have been interested in both the development and the physico-chemical, structural and
optical characterizations of silicon carbide (SiC) electrode. This semiconductor has a very interesting
characteristics, namely its prohibited bandwidth which allows a better coverage of the solar spectrum. Therefore, it
is a very good candidate for designing a photoelectrode for CO2 conversion.
The SiC thin layers were developed using the magnetron cathodic pulverization technique. The latter being simple
and efficacy and favorable for the elaboration of SiC thin films.
The silicon carbide thin-film characterization was conducted using various characterization methods,
including:XPS, SEM, FTIR, UV Visible spectroscopy and Photoelectrochemical characterizations. Catalytic
activity of silicon carbide layers was investigated by linear sweap voltampetry (LSV) in darkness and under white
light irradiation using the potentiostat station. A Cyclic voltammetry in the presence and without CO2 purge was
also performed. Based on the results found, we confirmed that the silicon carbide electrode could be used an
electrode for CO2 conversion.

Keywords: electrode, siliconcarbide, carbondioxide, conversion.

Abstract.
This work aims at a chemical study of the organic extracts of the desert plant Helianthemum Lippi L obtained by
extraction with different polar organic solvents, and a comparative study of a group of previous studies that en rich
the importance and effectiveness of the extracts of this plant in eliminating industrial antioxidants .To achieve this
we as an initial stage ,conducted a phytochemical survey of the active substances of this plant, which resulted in its
efficacy as containing many families of secondary metabolites represented in (phenols - flavonoids - alkaloids -
stérols and triple terpénes). then as a second stage we carried out a chemical inventory of these products by
colorimetric methods and by spectroscopic Ultraviolet and visible rays, and through this study, we concluded that
the plant Helianthemum Lippi L is rich in metabolites represented in (polyphenols and flavonoids).it has been
confirmed by FTIR spectrum with the presence of a hydroxyl group at 3201.07 cm-1 Then, after relying on some
previous references, the antioxidant activity of an organic chemical system (methanol) for flowers was determined
by two chemical methods: DPPH and hydroxyl (H2O2). Through this, it was found that the methanolic extract was
more effective in combating antioxidants in both tests, which estimated IC50 , respectively as 61.49 ug/ml and
464.48ug/ml.

Abstract.
Plasticizers have long been known for their effectiveness in producing flexible plastics for applications ranging
from the automotive industry to medical and consumer products. Human exposure to certain plasticizers has been
debated recently because di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate DEHP, used in medical plastics, has been found at detectable
levels in the blood supply and potential health risks may arise from its chronic exposure. This study was undertaken
to reevaluate the industrial potential of Acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC) and to provide a comparison of ATBC as a
PVC plasticizer with DEHP. For that purpose, The PVC and PMMA blends of variable composition from 0 to 100
wtolo were prepared in the presence (15, 30, and 50 wt %) and in the absence of (ATBC) as plasticizer. Their
miscibility was investigated by using diffbrential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The thermal degradation of the
blends was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) under inert atmosphere in the temperature range of
50-550°C. The results showed that the thermal degradation of rigid and plasticized PVC/PMMA in this broad range
of temperature is a two-steps process and that PMMA exerted a stabilizing effect on the thermal degradation of
PVC during the first step by reducing the rate of dehydrochlorination.

Abstract.
Developing an efficient and durable electrocatalyst for catalyzing oxygen evolution reaction in electrochemical
water splitting application is greatly desired and challenging.
Herein, a simple and facile strategy was followed to prepare Ni-substituted NdFeO3 nanocomposite as an
electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric and differential
thermal analysis (TG/DTA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
and electrochemical measurements, were used to characterize the structure, morphology and electrocatalytic
activity of the prepared catalysts. The X-ray diffraction indicated that samples calcined at 800 °C, exhibit a pure
perovskite structure in the all range of substitution. The FTIR spectra confirm the presence of metal oxygen bond
of Fe-O in the FeO6 octahedra. Scanning electron microscopy show the agglomeration of the particles with
different shapes. Nickel substitution disclose a remarkable change in the catalytic activity of the same towards
OER. Among all the electrocatalysts, NdFeO3 substituted with 0.2 mole Ni exhibits low overpotential for attaining
the current density of 10 mA/cm2 and low onset potential with a low Tafel slope.

Abstract.
Liquid phase sintering is a process for producing materials, a good example of which is WC-Co cemented carbide,
which combines the hardness of carbide with the toughness provided by the cobalt binder. The microstructures
obtained consist of faceted grains of WC in a solid phase of cobalt which may contain graphite and residual
porosity in more or less negligible quantities. The dissolution kinetics of WC in solid Co at 1200°C or liquid Co at
1450°C, controlled by diffusion, are rapid. Growth in WC/Co cemented carbides is not limited by diffusion of
supersaturated W and C atoms in the liquid.
The studies relatively carried out on particle sizes greater than 1 - 2 µm and do not mention the phenomena of
abnormal magnification.Such phenomena are encountered in materials made from fine grain sizes (<1µm). The
recrystallization of the structure due to the coarsening of grains, the presence of graphite and porosity can be at the
origin of an alteration of the properties of WC-Co alloys.
In this work we used the CIC process to develop WC-Co composites containing 11 and 20% by mass of Co with
improved properties with a fine and perfectly homogeneous structure. A comparative study of the properties of
these alloys was carried out using the two processes.
We will try to gather experimental observations likely to identify the physicochemical phenomena of the
microstructural evolution during the sintering of cemented carbides and to propose the mechanisms that can control
these phenomena.

Abstract.
First principal density functional theory calculations (DFT GGA-PW91) have been employed to simulate the
dissociative adsorption of CH4 on the Ni cluster supported on CuNi (100) surface. We studied methane site
preference for CH4, CH3, CH2, CH, C and H species at a coverage of a 0.25 monolayer. From the calculated
adsorption energies, we found that the most stable site for CH4 adsorption is the top Ni cluster with two hydrogens
oriented toward this atom. The fragments of methyl, methylene, methyne, hydrogen, and carbon have a strong
preference to bond on top Ni-surface. We investigated the most stable co-adsorption of CHn+ H (n = 0-3) and
found that CHn (n= 0–3) stabilizes on the top Ni-surface whereas hydrogen prefers the top Cu site. In addition, the
complete methane dehydrogenation is thermodynamically favorable. The results revealed that the addition of Ni
cluster above on the CuNi (100) surface improves significantly the adsorption energies of different species and the
thermodynamics properties of complete dissociation of methane. In the light of these first results, the Ni cluster
supporetd on CuNi (100) would be an efficient catalyst for methane complete dissociation.

Abstract.
The main objective of this study was to to determine the different variables that act on the transfer of cuttings. A
numerical study with a CFD approach is carried out to study the cuttings transport by the drilling mud as well as to
describe the effect of different variables on the transfer of cuttings.
To describe the cuttings transport, we will use a two-phase model. Therefore, a bibliographic study is carried out
for the Eulerian formulation of the basic equations of the two-phase model.
Based on the study of the effect of the geometric parameters of the drilling, the rheological parameters and the
characteristic parameters of the debris, we found that the transport efficiency is proportional to the diameter of the
pipe, the shear limit stress and the plastic viscosity of the drilling mud. On the other hand, it is inversely
proportional to the diameter of the borehole, the density of the sludge, the density and the diameter of the cuttings.

Abstract.
Simulation in terms of enzymatic activity and estimation the process of transfer of electronic active sites of the
compound 2-hydroxyphenyl imino naphthalen-2-ol (Schiff basis) synthesized have called upon valuable
computational programs such as the docking in which we used the Arguslab program and the Gaussian endowed to
the calculation of the functional density theory consists the investigated molecule. And as the experimental study
designed under difficult, expensive or sometimes impossible conditions, docking program simulates the molecular
binding of protein targets with ligand, which itself can reveal the arrangement of hydrogen and hydrophobic bonds
that link the active sites and the ligand, It is an economical step in terms of time and money that can lead to the
selectivity of the product interest in drug manufacturing. In this context, we have currently focused on the study of
the inhibitory effect of this molecule with the enzyme (6lu7) fighting against covid-19, and have them compare it to
the drug chloroquine. The results obtained show that the calculated Gibbs free energy of protease is -7.29986
Kcal/mol which is almost more inhibiting than chloroquine (-7.26517 Kcal/mol). The DFT method estimates the
molecular electrostatic potential that the potentially positive sites consists an easily yielding electron when they are
brought into contact with oxidizing species during the reduction reaction. The study of the superoxide anion
scavenging activity via this product is performed practically by electrochemical way, the standard Gibbs energy is
noted less remarkable than that of the standard BHT (-21.652 Kcal/mol). At a value of (-16.9022 Kcal/mol) the
compound can spontaneously form very stable inactive species with the oxidant ion.

homogenization at lower temperature of melting temperature, which ensures alloy solution and then rapid cooling,
and finally an aging treatment at a temperature between 180 and 220 for our alloys. In order to optimize the time

Abstract.
This work deals with the soil removal of petroleum hydrocarbons in the case of an old pollution by FL oxidation in
solid phase reactors on a microcosm scale without pH modification and the determination of the optimal
conditions. The effects of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), endogenous and zero valent iron (Fe), and ethylene diamine
tetracetic acid (EDTA) are studied. The application of an experimental design was used to assess and optimize the
potentially influential parameters on the removal of petroleum hydrocarbons soil and the modeling of FL process in
the case of the studied soil. The statistical analysis of data by factorial design, has allowed the modeling of Fenton
like process performances in the operating domain. It showed that hydrogen peroxide amount, interaction effects of
oxidant-catalyst, catalystchelating agent, and oxidant-catalyst-chelating agent, were the influential parameters.
Moreover, these results suggest that endogenous iron could be used as a source of iron in the presence of the
chelating agent to activate FL oxidation. A better accuracy (80.0%) was obtained for H2O2/endogenous Fe/EDTA
molar ratio of 20/1/1 after 48 hours of treatment

platform, it is written in Fortran and composed of several programs linked by c-shell scripts plus an interface
graphic called Wien2web for easy handling. The wien2k allows to calculate different properties: structural, elastic,
electronic, magnetic, optics and etc…. Our Cs2CrGe material is stable in the FM type 2 phase, and behaves as
semimetallic significantly with temperature. For the electronic properties, the band structure of Cs2CrGe, shows
the presence of an indirect gap for the low spin where the minimum of the conduction band is located at the gamma
point and the maximum of the valence band is located at the point X with a gap value equal to 0.4631 ev for the
GGA, and 1.4339 ev for the mBJGGA. However, for the high spin a band overlap at the Fermi level is observed.
Consequently, the low spin has a semiconductor character and the high spin has a metallic character.

photoabsorbers are CH3NH3PbI3 which has various exciting photoelectric characteristics and most importantly its
exciton diffusion length. In this present work, numerical modeling of CH3NH3PbI3-based solar cell using
SILVACO simulator is investigated, several materials were studied for possible hole transport layers (HTL), for the
HTL materials, the proposed materials are: P3HT, Spiro-OMeTAD, Copper (I) thiocyanate, Copper (I) iodide and
Nickel (II) Oxide. Among the proposed materials, Copper (I) thiocyanate is the most suitable HTM. Hence,
employing Copper (I) thiocyanate as HTM in perovskite solar cell, the power conversion efficiency is significantly
enhanced. Therefore, the obtained results make Copper (I) thiocyanate an excellent candidate for improving the
performance of CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite solar cells.

Abstract.
Organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are promising owing to their superior semiconducting
properties, such as long carrier lifetime, high charge carrier mobility, low voltage loss. In typical perovskite solar
cell design, a perovskite absorber material is sandwiched between an electron transport material and a hole
transport material. In this work perovskite solar cell was studied using SILVACO simulator. Several materials were
studied for possible electron transport layers (ETL). Indium gallium zinc oxide, tin dioxide, titanium dioxide and
zinc oxide are tested as an ETL. In order to enhance perovskite solar cell performance, several materials were
suggested as electron transport layers (ETL). Among the proposed ETL materials it was found that Zinc oxide is
the most adequate material.

Abstract.
Theoretical studies of some bioactive molecules (Chrysophanol 1 and Physcion 2) were carried out using density
functional theory (DFT) and Time Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) in Gaussian 09 package at
B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) and in water. Our aim is to predict and to compare the molecular structure, chemical
reactivity, thermodynamic parameters and spectroscopic properties of these compounds. The diagram of the
orbitals molecular predicts that the two molecules are energetically stables (Egap = 4.78 eV and 4.56 eV, for 1 and
2, respectively). The calculated of the quantum chemical descriptors predict that 2 have strong Lewis acid. The
thermodynamic stability is given by thermodynamic parameters (Gibbs free energy G, Enthalpy H and Entropy S).
These parameters are obtained at constant temperature 298 K. The values of these parameters predict that these
molecules are thermodynamically stables. The spectroscopic properties have been evaluated using time-dependent
density functional theory (TD-DFT). The absorption wavelength in 2 has the highest absorption wavelength (λ abs
max=352.67 nm, this result can be interpreted by (–OCH3) group in 2. The intensity of wavelength in 1 is stronger
than in 2. The strong absorption band observed at 450-600 nm.

Abstract.
The potato in the world's fourth most cultivated plant, owing to its numerous applications in the food and industrial
sectors. In our work, we attempted to extract its starch through three methods of soaking neuter (distilled water),
basic (NaOH), and acid (Hcl), and after 90 minutes at 25°C degrees Celsius, we mixed the mixture at high speed
for 15 minutes, The juice is then filtered and dried in the open air, and the comparison of our results with what
other experience has discovered reveals that the yield of starch extraction by the basic medium was higher 20% of
each 100g of potato, then 18% in acid medium, and 14% in neutral medium. Our future research will focus on
determining the physicochemical properties of the amidon in order to quantitatively and qualitatively define millier

Abstract.
After Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease is the most common neurodegenerative disease. Several studies have
been conducted in order to find effective drugs for this rapidly spreading disease. Although no drugs have been
discovered to date to treat this disease, several attempts have been made to reduce its severity. Molecular modeling
is a modern technique in chemistry, biology, and pharmaceuticals that allows different methods to be used to
discover new drugs. To investigate the inhibition of the enzymes involved in this disease and to discover new
inhibitors, Our work has focused on the use of molecular modeling methods based on molecular docking and
molecular dynamics using a MOE program, as well as the estimation of ADME properties. Our discussion is based
on two important parameters: the energy score and the interaction distances between MAO-B residues and a series
of 4-(benzyloxy) phenyl and biphenyl-4-yl derivatives. Following simulations and a comparison of the results of
the two previous methods, the L30 and L38 compounds were chosen as the best MAO-B inhibitors and above, both
compounds comply with Lipinski rules, Veber and Egan, they are able to cross the BBB, and they could be used in
the development of new pharmacological agents for the treatment of Parkinson's disease patients.

Abstract.
Wet granulation finds application in a wide range of industries including mineral processing, agricultural products,
detergents, pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, zootechnical and specialty chemicals. HPMC is
the most employed excipient in the formulation of hydrogel-based matrices in form of tablets or granules in order
to provide the drug release in a controlled manner.The preparation of granules, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose
HPMC 20, supplied by Pentachem Srl (San Clemente, RN-Italy) were produced spraying distilled water as liquid
binder on powders in a low-shear granulator. PSDs of HPMC granules at different granulation times were obtained
by an ad hoc dynamic image analysis device based on the free falling particle. For this reason find the development
and use of mathematical models in this field have received special attention, mainly because they allow describing,
predicting and in general better understanding the process. Population balances will be applied to model wet
granulation processes taking into account agglomeration, nucleation and rupture. The discretization of PBEs is the
most often used method for describing the evolution of the complete PSD, which includes all events that produce
distribution variance.As the analytic solution of the Population Balance Equations (PBEs) is not trivial. Several
numerical approaches have been devised, the fixed pivot approach (Kumar and Ramkrishna.1996) and the
discretized PBE Litster et al (1995) were used to explain the experimental results of a wet granulation process with
the goal of optimizing and incorporating the phenomena of breakage, agglomeration, and nucleation. The findings
of comparisons between experimental and numerical data are equivalent.

Abstract.
Parkinson’s disease is a condition where a part of your brain deteriorates, causing more severe symptoms over
time. While this condition is best known for how it affects muscle control, balance and movement, it can also cause
a wide range of other effects on your senses, thinking ability, mental health and more [1]. Monoamine oxidase-B
(MAO-B) is an enzyme in the body that breaks down several chemicals in the brain, including dopamine. An
MAO-B inhibitor makes more dopamine available to the brain. This can modestly improve many PD movement
symptoms. [2]. A series of benzofuran derivatives were synthesised and evaluated as inhibitors of MAO-B, In
general, the derivatives were found to be selective MAO-B inhibitors with IC50 values [3]. In our work, the
interaction between bioactive structures will be studied by molecular modeling methods (MM, Docking). We
conclude that these benzofuran derivatives are promising reversible MAO-B inhibitors with a possible role in the
treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease (PD).

Abstract.
A virtual screening protocol combining a 3D-QSAR model with molecular docking procedures and
physicochemical properties was used to find novel inhibitors of enoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) reductase against
Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Initially, 32 isoniazid analogues were collected from literature and investigated
against the tuberculosis target (PDB Id: 2IE0) using molecular docking. The docking studies were used to position
the inhibitors into the active site of enoyl-ACP reductase to derive a receptor-based 3D-QSAR model. The 3D-
QSAR model was built and shown to be statistically significant, with a high predictive ability for the training (R2 =
0.97) and test (Q2 = 0.73) sets. The analysis of the contour cubes derived from the 3D-QSAR model revealed the
chemical features necessary for the inhibition of the enoylACP reductase enzyme. The model was then used for
virtual screening with the aim of identifying new inhibitors of enoyl-ACP reductase and predicting their potential
activity. Based on the results of the above studies, 05 new molecules were proposed as enoyl-ACP reductase
inhibitors with high binding affinity, activity prediction, and favorable ADME properties.

Abstract.
Capture and storage of the CO2 and CH4 greenhouse gases is of outstanding importance and a major challenge for
gas-control technologies. Scientist are called to identify the right materials and processes for this purpose, with
clathrates hydrates presenting an excellent source for the formation of inclusion compounds and, thus of great
potential for gas storage. In this work we aim to describe the intermolecular interactions between guest molecules
( CO2, CH4) and host water cages (H2O)20 through density functional theory (DFT) calculations by using
different methods B3LYP, M06-2X and B3LYP with D3(BJ) empirical dispersion. Our results indicate that The
dispersion corrections D3(BJ) is a reliable description for the guest-host interactions, M06-2X is good for the H-
bonding interaction between water molecules, also B3LYP give reasonable description for H-bonding and not
suitable for the guest-host interactions. These assessments provide useful guidance for choosing appropriate
methods of DFT simulation for clathrates and related systems.

Abstract.
The present study is a theoretical work of the effect of co-doping with defects points on the electronic properties of
ZnO, by generalized gradient approximation (GGA) using the Perdew Burke Ernzerhof functional correlations
(PBE) exchange and adjusting the energy-volume results using the Birch-Murnaghan equation state; we found that
the lattice parameters and volume of OV and ZnV decrease than Oi,tet and Zni,tet , which are expanded. But their
energies increase, and Zn+,O-. Depending on the band gap energy and state density, the electronic properties of a
semiconductor can be explained, we can say that the introducing of O and Zn vacancy (OV,ZnV) make C:Si:ZnO
smaller and help the quick transition of the charges (e-,h+) from valence band to conduction band. It has lowest
energy defects, but largely up-shifts when oxygen atoms become rich (Oi,tet), and are thought to act as acceptors
on C: Si doped ZnO with a new states of energy valence of the bands inwards for the C:Si doped ZnO, mainly
come from the bond between interstitial oxygen and its first neighbor oxygen and zinc. Meanwhile, point defects
induce occupied states in band gaps. These results indicate that in this case, there are strong interactions between
the C, Si and native defects in ZnO. These findings agreed with a several calculations.

Abstract.
First-principles theory was applied to investigate the electronic, elastic, magnetic, and half-metallic behaviors of
the newly designed quaternary Heusler compounds BaNYO (Y=K, Rb and Cs) without 3d transition metal
elements. However, elastic properties show that our compounds are ductile and anisotropic. The calculated results
show that our compounds are half-metallic with an integer magnetic moment of 2.00µB at the equilibrium lattice
parameter, with 100% spin polarization around the Fermi level, which follows the famous Slater–Pauling rule, Mtot
=16−Zt, Mtot is the total magnetic moment and Zt is the total number of valence electrons. Based on its
equilibrium and strained lattice constants, the magnetic and half-metallic behaviors of this compound have been
discussed in detail. Large half-metallic gaps of BaNYO (Y=K, Rb and Cs) compounds of 0.95, 0.90 and 0.85eV,
respectively have been found in our work, which is nearly larger than any previous study. Furthermore, the
calculated negative formation energy and cohesive energy indicate that these two alloys have good chemical
stability. This theoretical investigation provides further insight into the application of BaNYO compounds as

Abstract.
Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) is a direct-bandgap semiconductor with a bandgap (Eg) of around 2.1, and it is a cheap,
plentiful, non-toxic, and sustainable photovoltaic material, this material's optical absorption coefficients are above
〖10〗^4 〖cm〗^(-1) close to the band edge. Due to these properties, the usage of Cu2O as an absorber in solar
cells has greatly increased in recent years and the power conversion theoretical efficiency of Cu2O solar cells has
been around 20%. Although all this, it is still challenging to attain greater efficiencies since the maximum
efficiency reached experimentally is 8.23 %. Silvaco TCAD-Atlas- has been used in this work to model and
simulate a reference structure of an AZO/Ga2O3/Cu2O/Au heterojunction solar cell based on the experimental
data, where we found the output parameters of the simulated structure perfectly match the published experimental
data where the conversion efficiency of our device simulation is 5.38 %. Also, we focused to investigate the effects
of the buffer layer (Ga2O3) doping concentration as well as the impact of the defects of the absorber layer (Cu2O)
on the performance of the solar cell. As we found a slight effect when changing the doping concentration of the
buffer layer in contrast to changing the density of the defects absorber layer, it has a significant effect on the
performance of the solar cell, where the best performance of the solar cell was at the value N_d (〖Ga〗_2 O_3
)=7×〖10〗^18 〖cm〗^(-3) and the value N_def (〖Cu〗_2 O)=1×〖10〗^13 〖cm〗^(-3).

Abstract.
Structural, electronic, magnetic and thermoelectric properties of the sp-based half-Heusler LiBaX (X = Si and Ge)
compounds have been investigated using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method based on
density functional theory. To approximate the correlation-exchange potential, we have employed two approaches:
the generalized-gradient approximation and the modified Becke–Johnson. Both compounds free of transition
metals are ferromagnetic, half metallic with a large spin-flip gaps which are appropriate for Spintronic applications.
The transport properties reveal high figure of merit values making these compounds great thermoelectric
candidates. Moreover, the studied half-Heuslers exhibit negative formation energy and cohesion which indicate the
possibility of synthesizing and stabilizing these cheap and available materials. So far and to our knowledge no
experimental or theoretical studies have been reported regarding LiBaSi, while for LiBaGe, thermoelectric
properties have not been investigated yet.

Abstract.
The effects of spin polarization on the structure, magnetic, and optoelectronic properties of Cr-based series of
double perovskites Sr2CrXO6 (X = La and Y) have been studied by using the full-potential linearized augmented
plane-wave method (FP-LAPW), based on the density functional theory (DFT) as implemented in the Wien2k
code, within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), GGA + U, and GGA plus Trans-Blaha-modified
Becke–Johnson (TB-mBJ) as the exchange correlation. Our results show a similar half-metallic ferromagnetic
ground state for both materials. From the electronic properties, it is found that Sr2CrYO6 has a direct band gap at (-
) direction and Sr2CrLaO6 has an indirect band gap at (-W) direction. Furthermore, we have computed the optic
and thermodynamic properties which are investigated for the first time. Consequently, the magnetic, optoelectronic,
and thermodynamic properties show these compounds are promising for high technological applications, namely
spintronic materials.

Keywords: Double perovskite, FP-LAPW, Ferromagnetic, Optoelectronic properties, Spintronic.

Abstract.
In this work the inhibition activity of a series of phosphonate derivatives against SARS-CoV-2 main protease
(Mpro) has been evaluated using in silico molecular docking study. In this context, the crystal structure of SARS-
CoV-2 main protease achieved from the Protein Data Bank database (PDB ID: 6LU7) has been selected and used
as a receptor for docking calculations. Also, the molecular structures of phosphonate derivatives have been fully
optimized using DFT/B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) method before their use in docking study. The obtained results indicate
that the investigated compounds can be interacting with the catalytic sites of Mpro through H-bonds, van der Waals
forces and electrostatic bonds. According to the obtained values of binding energy we can said that these
compounds have an interesting inhibition activity. Finally, the in silico docking study of the inhibition activity of
SARS-CoV-2 main protease showed that the studied phosphonate derivatives could be consider as potent inhibitors
and candidate therapeutic agents for COVID-19.

Keywords: Phosphonates, Inhibition, In silico docking, DFT, SARS-CoV-2 main protease.

Abstract.
The structural, electronic and optical properties for fluoro-perovskite NaXF3(X = Ca and Sr) compounds have
calculated by WIEN2k code based on full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) approach within
density functional theory (DFT). To perform the total energy calculations, exchange-correlation energy/potential
functional has been utilized into generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and local density approximation
(LDA). Our evaluated results like equilibrium lattice constants, bulk moduli, and their pressure derivatives are in
agreement with the available data. The electronic band structure calculation has revealed an indirect band-gap
nature of NaCaF3, while NaSrF3 has direct band gap. Total and partial densities of states confirm the degree of
localized electrons in different bands. The optical transitions in NaCaF3 and NaSrF3 compounds were identified by
assigning corresponding peaks obtained from the dispersion relation for the imaginary part of the dielectric
function. The thermodynamic properties were calculated using quasi-harmonic Debye model to account lattice
vibrations. In addition, the influence of temperature and pressure effects was analyzed on bulk modulus, lattice
constant, heat capacities and Debye temperature.

Keywords: Fluoride-Perovskites, first-principle calculations, structural properties, electronic and optical

RbGeX3(X=Cl, Br), using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method of density
functional theory (DFT). Two approaches are employed to approximate the correlation-exchange potential, namely
the generalized-gradient approximation (GGA-PBE) and the modified Becke-Johnson (mBJ-GGA). Both of
compounds are semiconductor, with band gap values of 0.873 eV and 1.344eV for RbGeBr3 and RbGeCl3
respectively, lattice parameter are found to be in the range of 5.2-5.6 A. the studied compounds are mechanically
stable and both of them exhibit negative formation energy and cohesion which indicates the possibility of
synthesizing and stabilizing these cheap and available materials. Optical properties, such as real and imaginary
parts of the dielectric functions, refractive index, reflectivity, loss energy (EEL) and absorption coefficient are
investigated. According to optical results, these compounds are competent candidates for optical and optoelectronic

Abstract.
The present article reports a comprehensive study on structural, elastic, electronic and thermoelectric properties of
MnScZ (Z= As and Sb). This study has been carried out using Wien2k computational code based on density
functional theory. In our calculations the electronic exchange correlation energy is determined by two approaches,
generalized gradient approximation (GGA-PBE) and the modified Becke-Johnson potential (mBJ). Equilibrium
lattice constants are found to be 6.107A and 6.502A, the band gap value calculated with mbj-GGA are 0.705eVand
0.732eV for MnScAs and Mn ScSb respectively. It is revealed by the analysis of elastic properties that both
compounds, MnScSb and MnScAs, are ductile in nature in the GGA approach. The results of both calculations are
shown for comparison. Half-metallicity of these compounds is verified, using both methods, by showing that the
spin-up states are semiconducting while the spin-down states are conducting. These compounds are characterized
by a high figure of merit (ZT) (close to unity) and a high Seebeck (S) coefficient, making them promising
candidates for thermoelectric applications.

Keywords: Half-Heusler, Wien2k, Seebeck coefficient, half-metallicity.

Abstract.
Theoretical investigations of the structural, dynamics and photo-physical properties of the Magnus’ green salt
complex and its derivatives obtained with different substituent were carried out at different levels of theory with a
particular focus on the structure and the dynamics of the complex in the ground state and the excited state. The
present work illustrates the results of both the quantum mechanics formulation of the time dependent density
functional theory (TDDFT) (LR-TDDFT-QM) and TDDFT based Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (LR-
TDDFT-BOMD) within the linear response theory. The appropriate choice of the functional within the LR-
TDDFT-QM approach appears to be of major importance to get relatively satisfactory results for the photo-physical
properties and the absorption spectra of such type of complexes. These effects were characterized through the
polarization of the basis set function. Regarding our current knowledge of the properties of the Magnus’ salts, LR-
TDDFT-QM and LR-TDDFT-BOMD were performed on a series of complexes of the type [Pt(NH2R)4]-[PtX4],
with R denoting an alkyl group and X is a halogen. The effects of the low and medium range Pt-Pt distance upon
the absorption wavelength were explored. Available data in the literature of the electronic structure of such material
correlated to our results indicate that, the substituent has a double effect both on the shapes and position of the
absorption bands. A perceptive shift of the absorption wavelengths is observed, a consequence of the structure and
dynamics of the complex in the ground state. The distortion observed in the Pt-Pt distance is found to be a direct
consequence of the rotational motion of groups of atoms. By associating the different theoretical approaches,
several interesting properties in the ground state and the excited state were determined.The structural, dynamic and
spectroscopic properties are presented in order to gain a better understanding of the behavior of this system. Based
on these results, the chemistry of MGS derivatives of general formula [Pt (NH2R)4] [PtX4], R = alkyl group and X
= halogen), and the optical properties of these complexes were modified by the introduction of other organic or
inorganic ligands. Next, we were interested in studying the electron absorption and emission spectra of MGS
complexes with CN ligands. It is therefore interesting to construct dimensional complexes with an electron-rich
center, and to study their luminescent properties. We have discovered that these complexes exhibit very high
luminescence and rich spectroscopic properties.

Abstract.
A series of tetrakis(isocyano)rhodium(I) complexes with different chain lengths of alkyl substituents has been
found to exhibit a strong tendency toward solution state aggregation upon altering the concentration, temperature
and solvent composition1. The geometry optimizations of both the ground state of the considered monomer and
different possible dimer and trimers have been performed in solution using several density functional theory (DFT)
functionals. The UV−visible absorption spectra of the complexes are well rationalized using a vertical time-
dependent DFT (TD-DFT) protocol relying on a global hybrid exchange−correlation functional. The remarkable
change in UV-vis absorption characteristics induced by changes in solvent composition can be considered as a
special type of solvatochromism. Benzo-15-crown-5 moieties have been incorporated for selective metal cationion
to induce dimer formation and drastic color changes, rendering the system as potential colorimetric and
luminescent cation sensors.

Abstract.
Nanofluids are nowadays the most widely used working heat transfer fluids. Therefore, a more accurate assessment
of their thermophysical properties, as well as their performance, is required. Thermal conductivity is the most
influential thermophysical property in the application of nanofluids. The increase in nanofluids' thermal
conductivity cannot be accredited only to a better and excellent thermal conductivity of nanoparticles in
suspension. Still, it also comes simultaneously from several physical factors of varying importance. Additionally,
nanoscale thermal behavior does not follow models applied to larger structures, thus further research is needed to
design appropriate models.
In this paper, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model for predicting the thermal conductivity of (Al2O3/Water)
nanofluid was developed. The model accounts for the effect of temperature, nanoparticle volume fraction,
nanoparticle diameter and nanoparticle shapes. Feed forward ANN has been used to predict the effective thermal
conductivity of nanofluid. The network was trained, tested, and validated using a total of 105 experimental data
points. The results show that the best architecture obtained in hidden layers for the Thermal Conductivity Ratio
(TCR) is 15 neurons. TCR model provides an excellent correlation between predicted and experimental values,
with coefficient of determination (R2) values superior to 0.99 for both learning and validation and insignificant
Mean Square Error (MSE) values (equal to 0.000018). Moreover, the selected ANN approach provides learning
with an Absolute Average Relative Deviation (AARD) of 0.013 %, confirming the validity of the adopted method.
The comparison with numerous empirical correlations also confirms that the model proposed in this study predicts
the TCR of Alumina/Water nanofluids with better performance and therefore can be considered a practical tool for
the considered tasks.

Abstract.
Using DFT calculation in BDE (E0), ETS-NOCV calculations at PW91/TZP. And the hydrogen atom transfer
(HAT), sequential proton loss electron transfer (SPLET), and single electron transfer followed by proton transfer
(SET-PT) mechanisms at B3LYP/6-311++G(2d,2p) level of theory. All are explored as possible oxidation paths of
cis and trans 2,4,3′,5′-tetrahydroxystilbene, and for cis and trans 2,3′,4-trihydroxystilbene. HAT was found to be
thermodynamically dominant mechanism, indicating that the investigated compounds can be classified according to
their antiradical activity in the following sequence order T-OXY˃T-RES˃C-OXY˃C-RES. The evaluation of
ΔHBDE reaction enthalpies, ΔHIP, and ΔHPA linked to the three mechanisms with certain radicals (HO·, HOO·,
CH3O· and CH3OO·, NO·, and NO2·) are determined. The results indicate the HAT and SPLET mechanisms are
competitive in inhibiting those species. The study of solubility by the COSMO-RS model demonstrates that the
compounds are very soluble in DMSO. QTAIM calculations reveal the existence of critical points in the two
conformers. The Diels-Alder intramolecular cyclization leads to two new tautomers: trans-cycle-OXY and cis-
cycle-OXY with a significant improvement in the antioxidant activity. In conclusion, T-OXY and T-CYCLE-OXY
are identified as the best antioxidant candidates among those tested.

The investigation and prediction of the potential antimalarial activity of a number of 1,3,5-triazine derivatives as
PfDHFR inhibitors make this study significant and novel. In the present investigation, we focused our interest on
the Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships studies were carried out for a bioactive series of 1,3,5-triazine
derivatives complexed with the P. falciparum dihydrofolate reductase (Pfdhfr). For that purpose, artificial neural
networks (ANNs) are used. The accuracy of such model is mainly evaluated by the correlation coefficient of
R_ANN^2 value 0.99, respectively, with risk lower than 0.01 % of model. These model can also be used to
predict the activities of new chemical entities for their design and with low toxicity. Then, a qualitative study of the
drug-likeness was also performed for a bioactive series of 1,3,5-triazine derivatives using different MPO methods.

conditions. Whereas, the influence of the solvent was taken into account employing the PCM model. DFT- based
descriptors such as electronic chemical potential, molecular hardness, electrophilicity, dipole moment, condensed
Fukui function and total energies have been determined to predict the reactivity of 1,2,4,5-tetrazine. Quantitative
structure–activity relationships (QSAR) have been applied for development relationships between physicochemical
properties and their biological activities. Therefore, Many studies focused on 1,2,4,5-tetrazine derivatives to

Abstract.
Renewable energy sources are one of the best strategies to mitigate environmental problems and the consumption
of fossil fuels. The most promising renewable energies to limit the increase of the greenhouse effect is biomass,
which can be converted into valuable products (biofuels) through thermo-chemical conversion. An interesting chain
of recycling can be created by the production of bioenergy and the conversion of agro-industrial waste into energy.
Among the advanced biomass conversion technologies, thermochemical processes offer considerable potential and
must be optimized . pyrolysis is a very promising solution for the production of high-quality bio-oils and chemicals
with high energy . Residence time, process temperature, flow rate, and biomass type strongly affect bio-fuels yield
. In this research, the effect of temperature and residence time on bio-fuels (bio-oil,biochar,Syngas) yield during
date palm rachis pyrolysis was studied using SPD simulator . The results of this study were obtained by performing
a different simulation tests . The simulation findings show that the optimal bio-oil yield (44.53 %) was reached at a
pyrolysis temperature of 550° with 0.5 s as a residence time. However, a temperature of 650°C and a residence
time of 12 s are the optimal conditions to maximize the yield of syngas with a production of 23 % . The maximal
Biochar production (32.47 % ) was achieved at a temperature of 400 °C and a residence time of 0.5 s. These
investigations have highlighted the fact that the energy content of date palm rachis can be processed by pyrolysis or
gasification to yield substantial end products that can be exploited as fuel.

using the density functional theory and Boltzmann transport theory. Generalized gradient approximation were
employed for the exchange–correlation potential. The results of the electronic band structure analysis indicate that
the majority spin band is of metallic behavior, while the minority spin band shows a half-metallic character. The
alloy possess total magnetic moment 2.00 μB following Slater‐Pauling rule MT = ZT − 24. The mechanical
stability along with ductile nature of alloys is determined through elastic constants. Finally, the thermoelectric
properties of these materials are discussed on the basis of the Seebeck coefficients, electrical and thermal
conductivity relative to relaxation time as a function of temperature, at the Fermi level were studied between the
temperature range of 100-1200 K. The large Seebeck coefficient exhibited by CO2ZrSn make it an attractive
candidate for thermoelectric materials.

Abstract.
Purpose curcumin has shown a variety of biological activity for various human diseases including cancer in
preclinical setting. Currently, curcumin has been shown to exhibit anti-cancer, anti-Alzheimer, anti-cystic fibrosis,
and other medicinal effects. Curcumin (cur) [(1E, 6E) -1,7-bis (4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) -1,6-diene-3,5-dione],
represents the majority of the natural yellow pigments present in the Turmeric, used primarily as a spice. The
objective of this study is to perform a quantum calculation based on Density Functional Theory (DFT), TDDFT,
and QTAIM. DFT calculations using the B3lyp method and the 6-311 G (2d, 2p) base have shown that the enolic
form (cur-enol) is more stable than the anti diketone (cur-anti diketone). The complexation of curcumin with metal
fragments (Ni, Mg and Cu) has been established with the Cur-Anti diketone, but does not improve its biological
activity. Calculations of the solubility for curcumin and its complexes were carried out in different solvents
(octanol, water ethanol, DMSO and others) and showed that DMSO is the only tested solvent which solubilized all
molecules. All compounds are insoluble in water except cur-Mg which has a very low solubility (in order of 14g /
l). Cur-Anti diketone is much more soluble than Cur-Enol in all used solvents.

Ga1-xAlxAs1-yPy solid solutions. The lattice parameter, bulk modulus and its pressure derivative of the quaternary
alloys with their binary compounds GaAs, GaP, AlAs and AlP are determined from the fit on the total energy at the
equilibrium volume. The lattice parameter as a function of the composition of the quaternary alloy shows a small
deviation from the linearity and decreases with the increase of the composition. The band gap energies of the
quaternary alloys are also predicted and indicate that the studied materials are direct band gap semiconductors. The
optical properties such as the dielectric function and refractive index are calculated, the obtained results are in good
agreement with other theoretical and experimental works found in literature.

Keywords: DFT, wien2k, Ga1-xAlxAs1-yPy, alloys, semiconductors.

Abstract.
Quantum chemistry methods play an important role in obtaining molecular geometries and predicting various
properties. To obtain highly accurate geometries and physical properties for molecules that are built from
electronegative elements, expensive ab initio/HF electron correlation methods are required. Density functional
theory methods offer an alternative use of inexpensive computational methods which could handle relatively large
molecules. In this work, it was planned to illuminate theoretical determination of the optimized Molecular
geometries, Mulliken charges of Indolin-2-one compound. In addition, we were calculated important quantities
such as HOMO–LUMO energy gap, bipolar torque (µ) for Indolin-2-one and its derivatives. The geometries of
Indolin-2-one and their methyl, Mercapto derivatives were fully optimized by PM3, Ab initio/ MP2 / 6-
31G*and DFT/B3LYP /6-31G* ,Gaussian 09 program package. Finally, we studied Quantitative structure activity

Abstract.
In the metalworking industry, High-pressure die casting (HPDC) within cold room is nowadays a very important
place, where the cold room for this process mainly comprises an injection cylinder for injecting the molten metal
into the mold using a piston. This technique makes it possible to obtain very high quality parts with a very good
surface finish, but unfortunately, the air that is in the injection cylinder can be locked in the metal during the
injection phase. So the main flaws of this technique are porosity and air entrapment. The purpose of this study is to
find a law of piston acceleration to minimize air entrapment during the slow injection phase and porosity in the
final product, where the work was highlighted in the analysis of the effects of each of the piston accelerations, fill
rate, surface tension and viscosity on the free surface wave motion. The flow of the molten metal in the casting
chamber and the thermal study of the process were studied by introducing certain boundary conditions to allow an
improvement and avoid the occlusion of the air. To simulate this numerical model we use the code of calculation
FLUENT which is based on the equations of mass conservation, momentum and energy. The liquid volume method
(VOF) was used to follow the immiscible interface (free surface). Due to piston displacement, the geometry of the
domain is variable and the numerical resolution uses a dynamic mesh. The results obtained with the numerical
solution show that the quantity of air trapped during filling and injection processes can be reduced or eliminated by
choosing the appropriate conditions related to the piston speed and acceleration and the initial temperature of the
chamber and molten metal to ensure the smooth process.

Abstract.
c-Met is a receptor tyrosine kinase belonging to the MET family. It is one of the most extensively targeted kinases
for drug development due to its involvement in a crucial phase of cell proliferation and differentiation in digestive
system tumors. Using natural compounds as therapeutic agents to treat pancreatic cancer has recently focused on
natural drug research. Curcumin, the active ingredient of the Curcuma longa plant, has received significant
attention over the past two decades as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer agent.
This study aims to design more active curcumin derivatives as anticancer drugs by targeting c-met through a
molecular modeling approach. In brief, the process consists of receptor and ligands preparation, docking validation
and simulation using Schrodinger 2020-3 software, and ADMET filtration.
Based on the obtained results, the top compounds which showed higher docking scores (ranging from -10.447 to -
9.399) than the reference ligand were selected. The crucial interactions were hydrogen bond and Pi-Pi stacking
interactions. Furthermore, most of the derivatives successfully passed five different drug-likeness criteria and were
predicted to have good ADMET characteristics.
The obtained results could be a fruitful guideline for the rational design of novel c-Met inhibitors as anticancer
agents.

Abstract.
Drug discovery and design are inextricably linked to various branches of chemistry, particularly organic chemistry.
Many aspects of chemistry must be involved in order to translate knowledge of the molecular, genetic, and cellular
bases of cancer into effective therapies. Thus, the goal of this research is to identify promising active compounds
for coumarin as CK2 protein kinase inhibitors using a QSAR model and drug similarity analysis.CK2 is a
ubiquitous Ser/Thr-specific protein kinase that is required for cell cycle viability and progression. CK2 levels are
particularly high in proliferating, normal, or transformed tissues, and transgenic mice expressing its catalytic
subunit are responsible for lymphomas.
The work began with the optimization of the equilibrium structures of the basic coumarin in order to select the
most reliable forecasting approach compared to experimentation and at the lowest computational cost. Following
our research, we conduct a multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis to generate QSAR models.
An external validation research was done because the results show that the QSAR model of CK2 inhibitory activity
is robust and has extremely strong prediction capacity, as indicated by R2 values of 0.951 and 0.927, respectively,
following linear regression analysis. The investigation using QSAR models is successful in screening 34 candidate
chemicals. Following that , the compounds under consideration were evaluated for drug-likeness and reactivity
(ADME, golden triangle, lipophylicity indices).
The results reveal that when supplied orally, the majority of the substances have no bioavailability issues.
The data also aid in determining which chemicals do not have clearance issues, as well as which are the most stable
and reactive among those examined.
The anticipated findings of this study may aid in the development of novel coumarins with significant CK2
inhibitor activity.

Abstract.
According to the European (F-gas) regulation, all refrigerants with GWP upper than 1500 would be out by 2025.
Searching for alternative refrigerants which are friendly to the environment has become an urgent challenge for the
refrigeration and air-conditioning sector. Based on their environmental advantages and their good thermo-physical
properties, azeotropic mixtures have recently gained special interest as substitute to conventional refrigerants. This
work aims to compare the performance of three azeotropic mixtures with the usually refrigerant R134a in two
refrigeration cycle: basic cycle (BC) and Ejector refrigeration cycle (ERC). To reach this objective a numerical
program was developed using MATLAB software to evaluate the coefficient of performance (COP) and the
cooling capacity of the studied mixtures and were compared with those of R134a refrigerant. The simulation was
realised for condensing temperatures (Tc) selected between 30 and 55°C and evaporation temperatures (Te) ranging
between -10 and 10°C. Results showed that the mixture R134 a+R290 (GWP= 538.5531) has the better cooling
capacity than the other studied refrigerants, on the other hand, the blend R1234ze+R600a (GWP=5.668) gives a
better COP in the "BC" cycle than other blends, while the R134a+R1234yf (GWP=466.4518) has the better COP in
the "ERC" cycle comparatively to both other mixtures.

Abstract.
Heat transfer by mixed convection occurs in nature and has many technical applications (geothermal energy
systems, microelectronic cooling, heat sinks in solar collectors, and nuclear and chemical reactors...).
Understanding this phenomenon improves the design and optimization of energy devices by reducing heat loss and
improving efficiency. In this work, a numerical study of a Rayleigh-Bénard-Poiseuille water flow in a rectangular
channel of aspect ratio B = 10 that is heated from the bottom a constant flow (0 <Re <100 and 104 <Ra <106) was
carried using the commercial code CFD Fluent 17.0 (ANSYS). This study aims, to demonstrate the formation and
development of thermo-convective instability, Where the latter appears as longitudinal rolls (R//). The effects of Re
and Ra on the instability and evolution of R//, and the heat transfer behavior were studied. Compared to the
experimental observations of the authors studying this phenomenon, our results were in good agreement with
theirs. According to the simulation results, R// formation starts first under the effect of the side wall, then develops
downstream until it completely invades the cross-section (fully developed). and it was also noted that the length
where the rolls are fully developed (Le) is affected by Re and Ra. Due to the buoyancy force, the results showed
that mixed convection improves heat transfer (maximum to Le) compared to pure forced convection.

Abstract.
Computational chemistry has proven to be an effective method for researching materials. It also assists chemists in
making predictions before running the actual experiments allowing them to be better equipped to make
observations. This computer technology has ability to visualize and modify objects on an atomic scale. The most
popular and successful quantum mechanical approaches to matter calculations is density functional theory (DFT).
Since the 1970s, it has been widely used for calculations in theoretical modeling. Biomaterials based on HAP have
been gradually accepted and used widely and successfully to repair bone and tooth defects. Hydroxyapatite
(Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) (HAP) is an important biomedical material that is used for bone and dental defects due to its
excellent bioactivity, biocompatibility and similarity to bone and tooth composition. In this study, Hydroxyapatite
(HAP) was produced from synthetic sources using the double decomposition method. Then tests were characterized
by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and (FTIR) spectroscopy with diverse conditions made in heating process such as
temperature and length of heating. Density functional theory was used to perform the quantum mechanical
calculations of the HAP molecule. Calculations were carried out via the Gaussian09 package program using the
CAM-B3LYP functional method, 6-31G(d,p) basis set and GaussView 5.0.9. All results obtained and were
compared with experimental results. This investigation revealed that HAP was synthesized via precipitation,
particularly with suitable temperatures. The results of the quantum chemistry calculations are very close to the
experimental results where it found a well agreement between theory and experiment was obtained by the CAM-
B3LYP/6-311G method for spectroscopic characterizations.

Abstract.
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are one of the areas of photovoltaics (PV) research that is growing the fastest. To
make PSCs more efficient, a perovskite absorber layer is put between two layers like electron and hole transport
layers. This paper shows a planar (p-i-n) perovskite solar cell with a bilayer electron transport layer (Bi-ETL). In
this case, the Bi-ETL is made up of the inorganic tin oxide (SnO2) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) buffer layer, which
works together to align the interfacial energy level and make the surface very resistant to moisture. This study
looks at the effect of nickel oxide (NiO), SnO2, TiO2, perovskite doping concentration and temperature. The power
conversion efficiency (PCE) of the optimized device stack is 25.56% when VOC = 1.04 V, JSC= 40.34mAcm2,
and FF = 61.14%.

Abstract.
The main objective of this contribution is to clarify the electron density imbalance in the molecular surface of four
known energetic compounds: TNB, TNA, DATB and TATB by using the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP)
which is an efficient tool reflecting rigorously the electronic and nuclear charge distribution. It is known that
positive values of MEP in the central areas of the molecular surface typical of energetic compounds directly affect
their sensitivity to detonation. The addition of electron-donor functional groups is one of the strategies used to
avoid a large positive electrostatic potential in the central regions. This donor effect also strengthens the C-NO2
and N-NO2 trigger bonds. Amino groups are very effective in this respect, the more amino groups are added, the
weaker the positive electrostatic potential in the central region, thereby decreasing the sensitivity. The decrease of
the sensitivity by adding amino groups can be attributed to one or more factors commonly affecting this property,
such as the ability of the compound to form intra and intermolecular hydrogen bonds. In this work, a qualitative
and quantitative analysis of the MEP was conducted to highlight the anomalies resulting from the strong depletion
of the negative charge distribution in the central regions of such compounds and to quantify the role of amino
groups in compensating this imbalance. Moreover, some statistical molecular descriptors defined by Politzer et al
have been investigated to quantitatively analyze the distribution of positive and negative charges on the whole
molecular surface. In addition, a correlation between the number of amino groups present in each compound and
the central MEP value was established.

Abstract.
A fixed pivot approach for a two dimensional population balance modeling strategy is used in this work to describe
the flocculation of PCC particles induced by polyelectrolytes. The model describes the dynamics of processes
where aggregation and breakage occur simultaneously, as is the case in papermaking. The median size diameter of
the flocs, obtained by LDS (Laser Diffraction Spectroscopy), is compared with the simulated results obtained by
the application of the presented model. The model efficiency, when compared to the experimental data, is
confirmed through a Goodness of Fit (GoF) above 98 % in all cases, providing a good approximation to the
temporal evolution of the volume median size of the flocs, as can be seen in Figures 1 and 2. Optimized fitting
parameters are obtained for the collision efficiency factor, the fragmentation rate and the flocs restructuring
parameter. The flocculation kinetics and scattering exponent data (related to the flocs structure) evolution with
time, obtained from modelling, are discussed in relation with the polyelectrolytes properties, and the different
conditions considered. The model parameters will be correlated with the characteristics of the polymers used in the
flocculation process (molecular weight, branching and concentration) in order to obtain a model that can predict the
aggregates characteristics (size and structure) required for a predefined task, and considering the operating
conditions used, which constitutes a progress beyond the present state of the art.

flow rate, air flow rate, ambient temperature, and relative humidity. The numerical results were used to evaluate the
cooling efficiency, water consumption, and energy consumption of the cooling tower. The results showed that the
cooling tower&#39;s performance is highly dependent on the ambient conditions. The tower&#39;s cooling
efficiency increases with an increase in water flow rate and air flow rate. However, an increase in tower size results
in a decrease in cooling efficiency due to a reduction in the air velocity.

Abstract.
This study investigated the potential of using bottom ash (BA) as a low cost adsorbent for the removal of Sudan
Black B (SBB) dye from aqueous solutions. The adsorbent was obtained from incinerated hospital waste (Mascara,
Algeria). X-Fluorescence, FTIR, MEB, BET and pH(PZC) analysis were used to characterize the adsorbent
material. The results indicated that this material consisted of silica, carbonates and sodium chloride. Batch
adsorption studies were performed for the removal of SBB from aqueous solutions by varying the parameters like
initial solution pH, initial SBB concentration and contact time. The adsorption data were then fitted by model
equations such as Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms and it was found that the Langmuir
isotherm model best fitted the adsorption data. Adsorption rate constants were determined using pseudo first-order
and pseudo second-order rate equations. The results clearly showed that the adsorption of SBB onto BA followed
pseudo second-order model. The maximum sorption capacity and energy of adsorption of bottom ash were 143.97
mg/g and 0.316 KJ/mol, respectively. It can be concluded that natural bottom ash can be an alternative economic
material to more costly adsorbents used for dye removal in wastewater treatment processes.

Abstract.
The general technologies applied to separate the CO2 from natural gas are mainly the absorption, adsorption and
membrane processes. Besides these classical methods, there are new separation techniques currently under
investigation which are based on the use of: low temperature, ionic liquids, as well as gas hydrate crystallization.
This latter has recently risen as a novel technology for reducing this effect. However, the low hydrate formation
rate, low gas selectivity and low gas storage capacity have been proved as the major bottlenecks for its successful
application. Using nanoparticles as promotor is a novel technique for the enhancement of gas hydrate formation
process. In this article, a batch reactor was used to investigate the effects of Al and Al2O3 nanoparticles on the
enhancement separation of CO2 from natural gas by means of gas hydrates. The natural gas stream was represented
by a mixture of CO2-CH4. In the experimental setup, nanofluids of Al and Al2O3 with particle weight percentages
ranging from 0.1 to 0.3 wt % were respectively prepared and characterized, CO2-CH4 gas mixture was injected in
the reactor containing pure water and different prepared nanofluids. The pressure and temperature were maintained
at 4.0 MPa and 274.15 K, while the magnetic stirrer speed was set at 350 rpm. The obtained results showed that the
nanoparticles of Al, at the beginning of the process and beyond a certain minimum concentration, can slightly
enhanced the gas dissolution (<5%), improve the gas consumption by crystallization up to 10%, improve the gas
capture selectivity up to 20% but these effect becomes negative at the end of process. The nanoparticles of Al2O3
up to a certain maximum concentration, can enhanced the gas dissolution (up to 15%), improve the gas
consumption by crystallization up to 65% and no positive effect was observed on the capture selectivity.

Abstract.
The adsorption of anionic collectors (xanthate) on the surface of galena was studied using diffuse reflectance FTIR
(DRIFT) and scanning electron micrograph (SEM) techniques.
The effect of sulphite interaction with galena on the mechanism of potassium amyl xanthate (KAX) adsorption
onto galena surfaces has been studied in situ using electrochemical potential, FTIR spectra and SEM have been
used to identify the mechanism of interaction between sulphite and galena surfaces.
Activated galena with copper sulfate (10-4M) has been investigated at pH 9.5 and potassium amyl xanthate (3.10-
2M) concentration.
Potential (Eopt (PbS) = +55mV); Adsorbed colloidal (Pb-AX, 1109-1384Cm-1) is found even at high xanthate
concentration, colloidal lead oxide/hydroxide particles have been imaged after 10-4M lead sulfate addition at pH

Abstract.
This work aims at a chemical study of the organic extracts of the desert plant Helianthemum Lippi L obtained by
extraction with different polar organic solvents, and a comparative study of a group of previous studies that en rich
the importance and effectiveness of the extracts of this plant in eliminating industrial antioxidants .To achieve this
we as an initial stage ,conducted a phytochemical survey of the active substances of this plant, which resulted in its
efficacy as containing many families of secondary metabolites represented in (phenols - flavonoids - alkaloids -
stérols and triple terpénes). then as a second stage we carried out a chemical inventory of these products by
colorimetric methods and by spectroscopic Ultraviolet and visible rays, and through this study, we concluded that
the plant Helianthemum Lippi L is rich in metabolites represented in (polyphenols and flavonoids).it has been
confirmed by FTIR spectrum with the presence of a hydroxyl group at 3201.07 cm-1 Then, after relying on some
previous references, the antioxidant activity of an organic chemical system (methanol) for flowers was determined
by two chemical methods: DPPH and hydroxyl (H2O2). Through this, it was found that the methanolic extract was
more effective in combating antioxidants in both tests, which estimated IC50 , respectively as 61.49 ug/ml and
464.48ug/ml.

Abstract.
Recent years have seen a lot of interest in the creation and deposition of crude oil sludge during petroleum
production and refining operations. Reduced storage tank capacity, clogged tank drain pipes, harmful effects on
workers, and increased corrosion are all consequences of this sludge accumulation. On the other side, improper
sludge disposal also poses a significant environmental risk. In order to benefit from the oils collected and use them
economically, as well as to decrease the volume of solid waste to safeguard the environment, we applied an
extraction process by xylene to recover the oil present in the sludge from the storage tanks. We have had success
extracting hydrocarbon oil from sludge using xylene and we also succeeded in recycling xylene.

Abstract.
Solvent extraction was used to remove oil from sludges from crude oil storage tanks in order to address the
industry's environmental and financial issues by minimizing solid waste generation and recovering petroleum oils
for profit. In our work, the hydrocarbon oil was extracted from the sludge using cyclohexane as a solvent. We
investigated the impact of agitation time on the extraction process and discovered that when the extraction rate is
high, the agitation duration should be increased. We have had successful oil extraction with cyclohexane.

Abstract.
In the dyeing process in industry, a large proportion of dyes, often used in excess to improve the dyeing, are
discharged into waterways. Being difficult to degrade, they risk accumulating in the environment where they
constitute a significant toxicity vis-à-vis living organisms, hence the need to develop specific depollution processes
in order to protect our water resources. . The objective of this study was to investigate the possibilities of using the
specific adsorption properties of different adsorbents (activated carbon (AC), silica gel (GS) and algae). The
efficiencies of the MB adsorption treatment vary depending on the nature of the adsorbent materials tested. The
effects of adsorbent dose, contact time, stirring speed, pH and temperature on BM were studied. The adsorption of
BM on adsorbents increases with the mass of the adsorbent. The equilibrium time decreases with increasing
adsorbent mass. The optimum pH for the elimination of BM by adsorbents is 12. The adsorption of BM is better in
a basic medium (99.29% for CA, 73.57% for GS, 79.96% for algae). The results showed that powdered CA proved
to be a better adsorbent than algae and GS. The maximum adsorption efficiency (99.91%) of CA was obtained for a
contact time of 60 min, a mass of carbon = 10 mg, a stirring speed of 200 rpm when working at room temperature.
The adsorption of BM on adsorbents is better described by the Freundlich model which gives R2 coefficients close
to 1. The PSO model better describes the adsorption of BM on adsorbents. ΔG° < 0 which proves that the process
of elimination of BM by these materials is spontaneous. ΔH° > 0 which shows that this process is endothermic. ΔS°
> 0 reflects that a fundamental change has occurred in the internal structure of materials during BM adsorption.

Keywords: Adsorption, methylene blue dye, Kinetic, isothermal and thermodynamic.

The objective of our work is the preparation of activated carbon based on natural waste and test their adsorption
power with the two dyes purple crystal and orange methyl. ctivated carbon has been prepared from waste which is
natural residue by pyrolysis and activation of activated carbon with phosphoric acid (H3PO4). After determining
the zero PZC charge point, the latter showed us that the PZC of activated carbon is 5. The study of the kinetics
showed us that the pseudo first order model (PPO) better describes the adsorption process of the two dyes CV and
MO. The values of the yield of these two are: 96.37% for CV and 97.86% for MO. The isothermal study shows us
that both Langmuir and Freundlich models are favored.

Abstract.
No microscopic analysis is possible without dyes, stains or indicators. Indeed, dyes and stains are extraordinarily
critical in biology, biochemistry, molecular biology and microbiological research, because they are frequently used
to dye or dye certain cellular components, proteins or DNA/RNA to visualize them. In biochemistry and molecular
biology, dyes and stains are used to highlight biological tissues and to quantify or qualify the presence of certain
chemicals when attached to substrates. In microbiology, dyes and stains are used to make microorganisms visible
or differentiate them due to distinct colorings properties. On the other hand, indicators are often used to measure
the pH of the samples. They are added to microbiological culture media to detect the metabolic properties of
microorganisms. Despite what has just been said, half a dozen of these dyes (E102, E104, and E129), combined
with various preservatives, and are thought to be responsible for hyperactivity in some children. Synthetic dyes are
also suspected of causing respiratory problems and allergies. Adsorption remains the most recommended classic
technique because of its simplicity, efficiency, ease of implementation and low cost. In this context, our study
focused on the removal of three dyes: carmine, phenolphthalein, and eosin b on the surface of two adsorbents:
activated carbon, natural clay. We used various physico-chemical techniques to determine the crystalline structure
of the DRX device, for this to make a clear idea of the chemical binding by the FTIR analysis and finally to know
the maximum absorbance λmax of the dyes it is by the UV-Visible analysis method. In addition, we describe a
simplified explanation of adsorption kinetics. The results obtained help us to compare the efficiency of active
carbon and natural clay for color removal, in addition to the possibility of describing adsorption by the two models
of adsorption isotherms Freundlich and Langmuir.

Abstract.
The pollution load (organic, mineral and biological) of water from urban networks (wastewater) is very remarkable,
especially in large towns and industrial sites. In this context, the search for good solutions for this problem is of
great importance in current researches. Many chemical, physical and biological treatment methods have been
developed. However, each of these methods has its specific advantages. So the search for other solutions remains
an area that can always be exploited. Among these new techniques to be developed; there are the electrochemical
methods. They present significant techniques in the elimination of organic, and minerals pollutants; also, biological
contaminants (bacteria, viruses, etc.). In the present work, we have contribute by the design of an industrial reactor
for the electrochemical treatment of different pollutants; based on previous studies carried out on electrochemical
methods used in wastewater treatment. To answer this problem, we first carried out an exhaustive study on the
electrochemical processes used in the elimination of different pollutants and contaminants. We have grouped and
classified the necessary information on electrode materials each with its specifics and uses. In addition, we have
carried out a study and compilation of useful information on the types of electrochemical reactors used for
pollution treatment. All this information, allowed us to construct an efficient database to design an industrial scale
electrochemical processing reactor, from which we used economical and efficient materials in the processing.

Abstract.
Dyes are used in many industrial sectors such as textile, paper, leather dyes, in the food and cosmetics industries.
They have a reputation for being toxic and persistent substances in the environment; they require physico-chemical
techniques to degrade them. Several physical, chemical, and biological methods exist to treat and decolorize
polluted water. The adsorption technique is the most favorable method for the elimination of pollutants and has
become an analytical method of choice, very efficient and simple to use. In this work, we studied the elimination of
Crystal Violet from an aqueous solution by biochar prepared from Melia azedarach seed powder treated in two
steps. The effects of contact time, initial dye concentration, solution pH, the temperature of the reaction, and
adsorbent amount, were investigated on the removal efficiency of adsorbent for the Crystal Violet. The
experimental results showed that eliminating the Crystal Violet dye in an aqueous solution depends on all these
physico-chemical parameters. Using 0.025 g of adsorbent, in the pH range of (7-10), at room temperature (15°C),
removed Crystal Violet from 25 ml of a 20 mg/l concentrated solution. The required time for obtaining equilibrium
at different concentrations of dye is about 240 min. The kinetic study of the elimination of Crystal Violet agrees
better with the pseudo-second-order model and the results of the modeling obtained during the study of the
isotherms are in good adequacy of the model of Freundlich.

Abstract.
The dye is the first pollutant to be detected in wastewater [1]. The presence of a very low concentration of dyes, in
water, is very noticeable and undesirable. Several treatment methods were used for treating effluents containing
dyes [2, 3]. Adsorption is rapidly gaining prominence among the treatment technologies and [4] has noted that
adsorption can produce high-quality water while also being a process that is economically feasible [5]. It is a useful
and simple technique and allows kinetic and equilibrium measurements without any highly sophisticated
instruments [6]. The present work describes the use of dates stalks biochar (DSB) as effective adsorbent for the
removal of a hazardous dye, crystal violet (CV), from its aqueous solutions. The prepared adsorbent was
characterized using FTIR, SEM. Experiments were carried out as a function of contact time, concentration of CV,
pH and adsorbent dose. A high adsorbent removal efficiency (92%) was obtained after the first 60 minutes. The
adsorption data of CV onto DSB followed the Freundlich isotherm. The kinetic data were evaluated using pseudo-
first-order and pseudo-second-order model equations and the data were fitted well with the pseudo-second-order
kinetic model. Concluding, DSB can be introduced and used as an efficient adsorbent in removing CV dye from
aqueous environments and industrial wastewaters.

Abstract.
Adsorption is one of the most widely adopted techniques for the removal of pollutants, because of its great ability
to purify contaminated water. The present study is part of this perspective by trying to test materials from agri-food
waste, particularly cypress waste for copper elimination.
Adsorption tests have shown that the fixation of copper on the bio carbon is rapid and improved with the increase
in activated carbon doses. Langmuir, Freundlich isotherms were applied to determine the effectiveness of
biomaterials as an adsorbent. The results showed that the isotherms are linear and that the reaction follows the
second-order kinetics. This concludes that natural bio carbon can be used effectively as an adsorbent for the
removal of copper Cu (II) in an aqueous solution.

Abstract.
In the recent years, the activated carbon (AC) has been widely used in wastewater treatment. However, the high
cost of commercial activated carbon makes the agriculture waste materials as a sustainable alternative for
producing biochar. Due to the fact that, these residual biomasses are abundant, renewable, and available at low
cost. This work aims to synthesize and characterize an activated carbon from vicia faba waste, then study of nitrates
removal from water by adsorption. The following steps were carried out to synthesize the activated carbon:
pretreatment of biomass, carbonization, and chemical activation. Spectral and physicochemical analysis such as
IFTR, SEM, iodine number have been performed to characterize the produced activated carbon. The effect of time
on nitrates ions removing from wastewater was investigated. Pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetics
models have been used to fit the adsorption data. All the results have been extensively discussed.

Abstract.
Considerable quantities of industrial waste effluents today contain large amounts of heavy metals which can cause
potential risk for human beings and environment. In this study, peanut shells (PS) waste was used to produce
biochar and then prepare separable magnetic biochar beads (MBB) for removal of copper ions from liquids. The
prepared beads were characterized and applied as adsorbent of Cu (II) ions via batch experiments. The isotherm
study was conducted at pH 5.0 and initial concentration ranging from 5 to 200 mg/L.
Results show that pHPZC value was 6.5 and 6.2 for the MBB and PS-biochar samples, respectively. MBB beads
exhibited an excellent removal rate toward the Cu (II) ions compared to started biochar. The Langmuir model gives
a much better fit than Freundlich for the isotherm data. The monolayer adsorption capacity of Langmuir reached
234.1 mg/g at 30°C (for MBB adsorbent). It was also found that the adsorption process was affected by the pH of
solution.
The prepared beads can float on the solution surface and can be easily collected or separate using external magnetic
field. They are also recyclable and very promising for elimination of metals from industrial wastewater.

Abstract.
The problem of the drug residues‟ occurrence in aquatic compartments is very worrying because of their
recalcitrant character, in addition to their increasing continuous discharge. Antibiotics are among the most
consumed drugs worldwide. Their adverse effects on the aquatic ecosystem and on humans, such as drug
resistance, alteration of the structure of algae in aquatic systems, and effect on non-target pathogens, have been
proven by various researchers. Metronidazole (MNZ) is an antibiotic used to treat infections caused by parasites
(amoebas) and anaerobic bacteria, it can also be administered to treat diarrhea. It is characterized by a low
biodegradability, which implies the need for its treatment. The objective of this study is to investigate the
adsorption of metronidazole on powdered activated carbon in an aqueous medium. For this purpose, experimental
tests were carried out in batch on synthetic solutions of distilled water. In order to optimize the abatement process
of the tested antibiotic, various reaction parameters were varied, namely the stirring speed, the adsorption kinetics,
as well as the activated carbon content. The results of the adsorption kinetics showed that powdered activated
carbon has a high affinity towards MNZ with a maximum yield of 98% during an equilibrium time of 30 min. It
appears that a high stirring speed contributes to the increase of MNZ removal. Increasing the activated carbon
content leads to increased removal efficiencies with an optimum carbon content of 1 g/l. The removal of the drug
product is very appreciable regardless of the drug content. From the acquired output, it can be deduced that
powdered activated carbon is an ideal adsorbent for the treatment of water containing metronidazole.

copper, zinc and iron. After leaching by the sulphuric acid, we filter to eliminate Co (OH) 3 which is insoluble in
sulfuric acid. Then we apply dialysis diffusionnelle to recover the excess of acid. We increase the pH until
approximately 4 for precipitate iron in the form of hydroxide. Then we eliminate copper by cementation by zinc.
The separation of zinc and cobalt is made in chloride medium. For the complexation by chlorides, we used
software (HYDRA - MEDUSA) to find the optimum conditions of separation. A preliminary theoretical study of
equilibrium (diagrams of distribution…) and the use of the Hydra-medusa software allowed lying down the
optimum conditions for separation. They allow also significant economies in useless laboratory tests. The example
of complexation by chlorides is clearly visualized: the complexes of zinc are negative and those of cobalt are
positive thus making it possible to choose the ionic exchange for the separation of the two metals.This procedure
gives an excellent efficiency of separation: 65 % of leaching acid, 70.66 % of iron, 89.5 % of copper, 70 % of
cobalt (II), 64 % of cobalt (III) and 60 of zinc.

Keywords: heavy metals, cementation, ionic resin, sludge.

Abstract.
This present research is devoted to the study of the valorization, according to the circular economy model, of agri-
food waste, namely potato peelings for the manufacture of an adsorbent materials, which will be used for the
depollution of waste water contaminated with dyes and, in this case, yellow bemacide (YB) generated by the
various textile industries. The results show that we were able to remove more than 74% of the yellow bemacide
(YB) dye on the microwave activated potato peelings. The adsorption kinetics is very fast. The kinetic data were
modeled by five equations, which revealed that the adsorption of yellow bemacide (YB) on microwave-activated
potato peelings follows the pseudo-second-order model. During our study, experiments confirmed that microwave
activated potato peelings are a cheap bio-adsorbent, which has a high capacity to remove yellow bemacide (YB)
from aqueous solutions.

Abstract.
In the recirculation aquaponic system (RAS), fish farming waste was utilized as a nutrient for plants, minimizing
the water need, and producing the fish and plants as well. However, this wastewater contains a high concentration
of ammonia which is toxic to aquatic animals. The objective of the study was to examine the capacity of an
aquaponic system to treat Tilapia wastewater for reuse to grow Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) without chemical inputs.
During the experiment, the plant growth parameters were measured. Various physicochemical parameters were
evaluated as water quality indicators. lettuce harvests showed a good performance in terms of growth and
production, with a final weight of 180.226 ± 5.59g. There was a positive relationship between the time and the
levels of NH4 and therefore NO3− in the water. the ammonia content decreased from 1.90 mg/l at the beginning of
the trial to 0,768 mg/l at the end. While the concentration of nitrate- ranged from 17.260 mg/l to 14.650 mg/l. It
was discovered that the aquaponic system with the bioball used as the biofilter media could remove the ammonia in
the tilapia wastewater, specifically decreasing it to 0.768 mg/L, which contributed to the reuse of water for a closed
recirculation tilapia culture system and growing vegetables at the same time.

Abstract.
Hemicellulose, a biomass-derived material, has recently become more popular in the creation of value-added
products such as hydrogel-based sensors. In actuality, the incorporation of hemicellulose for heavy metal detection
applications is a novel strategy that has caught the interest of researchers recently. In this study, voltammetri and
impedence techniques were employed to produce an electrochemical sensor of trace heavy metal ions using the
hemicellulose cactus extract as a sensitive matrix. By simple adsorption, the Hemicellulose/ Agarose hydrogel
composite recognition layer (AG/HEM) was placed on a gold electrode. Under optimal chemical and instrumental
conditions, the variation in current intensity increased linearly with the increase in ion concentration, with a
detection limit (LOD) that was both very interesting and significantly below many polymer-based heavy metal
sensors as well as the WHO threshold limits. We also assessed the AG/HEM membrane's stability, reusability, and
capacity for long-term storage. Finally, we investigated how well this matrix could determine metal contamination
in environmental water samples.

Abstract.
In this study, we performed the removal of copper Cu (II) ions in aqueous solution of copper sulfate (CuSO4) by
adsorption on activated carbon prepared from plants. Comparative study of the adsorbent capacity of an activated
carbon by two ways: physical activation and chemical activation. The chemical activation of the plants is carried
out by zinc chloride (ZnCl2) 0.1 M at room temperature. Several parameters were studied, such as the effect of the
dose of activated carbon (0.02-0.1 g), stirring time (20-120 min), pH of solution and initial copper concentration
(100-400 mg/l). Our results showed that adsorption isotherms and kinetic studies show that these supports are good
adsorbents for copper in solution.

Abstract.
In this work, we went to the preparation on a pillar that we obtain from a natural product, namely palm leaves from
the Biskra region. The purpose of our work being to find a low -cost and high efficiency biomaterial in water
treatment (Elimination of Iron ions), it is crushed and sifted to obtain a fine grain powder with a granulometry ≤90
microns. This material was tested by absorption of total iron ions in aqueous environment, in this research, it has
been found that the adsorption process depends largely on a set of chemical variables, namely pH, quantity of
adsorbent, initial concentration in metal ions and physical characterization: electron microscope in scanning
(SEM), Infrared (FTIR) and XRD spectroscopy, these studies help us collect as much information as possible on
these materials.
The experimental results have shown remarkable value for the effectiveness of palm leaves, since more than 90%
of iron ions were eliminated in the mass of the adsorbant 20 mg/l, pH 12, and the first concentration 6 g /L.

Abstract.
Environmental protection requires special attention to industrial activities that use chemicals in their manufacturing
process. Indeed, many industrial processes, as textiles, paper, pharmaceuticals, leather tanning, cosmetics, use a
wide variety of synthetic chemicals such as dyes.
Various techniques have been developed for decontamination purposes. However, adsorption process seems to
be among the most effective methods yielding therefore to remove dyes from aqueous environments, while
several studies have already been done in this field using several materials as adsorbents. Indeed, the
performance and the efficiency of this adsorption technique depend generally and preponderantly on the nature of
the support used as adsorbent.
Synthetic goethite (α-FeOOH) is one of the most important phases of iron oxides because of its application as an
adsorbent for various toxic cations and anions due to chemical reaction occurring at specific surface sites. In
another side of view, double walled carbon nanotubes shows good mechanical, electrical properties and especially
a large surface area . Prior to this, carbon nanotubes are nanomaterials which have undergone considerable
development in recent years due to their remarkable potential for nanoscale applications, with a fibrous
form, large external surface accessible, and a well-developed mesopore As a starting point as an hypothesis, the
combination of magnetic properties and adsorbent properties within the same material is an interesting
challenge that could overcome the problems of recovery of adsorbents loaded with pollutants.
This work aims the synthesis of (DWNTCs/α-FeOOH) by refluxing process. The results indicated that the
maximum adsorption rate is 9.6 mg.g -1 with 100 mg of (DWNTCs/ α-FeOOH), and an initial orange methyl
concentration of 10 mg.l-1. In addition, the adsorption process describes a second-order kinetic model, where
the modeling of adsorption isotherms showed that the Freundlich one seem to be the adequat model describing the
adsorption process with R2 = 0.97.

Abstract.
In this work, we present a new electrochemical sensor based on a polyelectrolyte complex (pectin-chitosan),
intended for the detection and quantification of paracetamol in aquatic environments.
Pectin is a non-toxic, biodegradable, biocompatible and abundantly found anionic polysaccharide found in the cell
wall of trees and terrestrial plants. Based on these advantageous properties, we have chosen to isolate pectin from
citrus bark and use it to develop a sensitive, fast and inexpensive electrochemical biosensor for the detection of
paracetamol in aquatic environments.
A polyelectrolyte chitosan–pectin complex was prepared as a sensitive part. The electrochemical behaviour of
paracetamol on a gold electrode modified by this prepared biocomposite was studied as well as the effects of
detection conditions. The new biosensor has a satisfactory sensitivity with a detection limit of the nanomolar order.
In the light of these results, it appears that the extract used could offer a new catalyst less costly and abundant.

Abstract.
For the manufacture of activated carbon, agricultural leftovers have been used as a precursor material. Researchers
looked at how phosphoric acid affected the porosity, adsorption, and surface properties of carbon. Using
phosphoric acid in the range of 60 to 100%, three samples of carbon were created, each measuring 80 m in size.
Activated carbon made from palm trash was characterized using FTIR, phpzc, and ATG. Additionally investigated
were the iodine index and the methylene blue index.It was investigated how different variables, including starting
dye concentrations of 50–300 ppm and pH (2–10), adsorbent dose (0.0025–1.5 g/L), contact period (20–240 min),
and other variables, affected the results. Compounds were evaluated in solution before and after adsorption using
FTIR spectroscopy. Application of and experimental results supporting isothermal models of Langmuir and

Abstract.
Recently, the presence of phosphorus in domestic wastewaters has received increased attention due to the
realization of negative impacts it can have on receiving waters in the environment. Excessive presence of
phosphorus is a major cause of eutrophication of fresh water bodies.
Of these techniques, adsorption appears to be the simplest, most efficient and inexpensive Activated carbon is one
of the most widely used adsorbent materials for the treatment of natural water. Research is focused on the use of
locally available low-cost adsorbents made from natural sources. Agricultural residues have been widely used as
adsorbents to treat effluents such as date stones. The date stones (DS) were prepared in pieces of 0.2 to 0.5 cm then
washed to remove impurities then dried at 110 °C for 24 h. FTIR spectra of prepared activated charcoal show that
there are C-O C=O and CH3 bands in the structure of activated coal. These bands confirm the existence of
carbonyl, lactone, aldehyde and carboxyl groups on the surface of the activated char-coal. In single systems, the
kinetics of adsorption of phosphate follows the pseudo-second-order model and equilibrium was reached after
stirring for 40 min resulting in an equilibrium efficiency of 96.55 %. The maximum removal, (qt = 18.414 mg/g
and 19.311 mg/g), corresponds to the maximum of phosphate ions fixed on the surface respectived for DSNA
(unactived) and DSAC (actived with phosphoric acid) and the minimum of residual phosphate content. We
followed the elimination of phosphate according to the initial concentration of phosphate.
The results obtained showed that the dephosphatation is effective for low levels of phosphates ((in our study C0<
20mg /l). Models of Langmuir and Freundlich can be used to describe the adsorption equilibrium. In this study,
date stones (DSAC) has proved to be an efficient adsorbent for the reduction of phosphate on synthetic solutions.

In this work, we study the effect of oxidized biochar-PSO700 with sodium hydroxide for pepper stem on the
removal of ibuprofen. results of the isotherm study indicate that the adsorption of Ibuprofen by PSO-biochar chas
great potential, which provides a good theoretical basis for the application of PSO-biochar in environmental
protection in Algeria: The initial ibuprofen concentration 60 mg L−1, equilibrium time 120 min and temperature 20
°C for more than 79% adsorptive removal of ibuprofen. The equilibrium adsorption estimated maximum removal
capacity is 330.96 mg/g. As the initial IBU concentration increased the adsorption amount also increased and the
adsorption was favorable.
The signal of thermodynamic parameters was negative ΔG° and ΔH° values, but positive ΔS° value. The
thermodynamic analysis showed that Ibuprofen adsorption onto biochar-PSO700 was spontaneous and Exothermic.
Thus, biochar-PSO700 can be used as an effective absorbent to remove dyes from wastewater. The adsorption
mechanism consisted of pore-filling, hydrogen bonding formations, n-π and π-π interactions, and van der Waals

Abstract.
Nowadays, humanity is increasingly confronted with a serious problem; Indeed, for years, the degradation of
ground and surface water by organic pollutants has been a public health problem. Human activity in the
pharmaceutical, agricultural, industrial fields, etc. generates various pollutants that permanently alter the quality of
water and jeopardize the very future of human beings. Phenolic compounds, especially the chlorinated ones, are
considered very harmful to plants, animals, and human, even at low concentrations.The aim of this work is to study
the possibility of purifying water loaded with organic compounds such as phenol by adsorption technique. We used
biochar prepared through one-step pyrolysis at 600 °C from palm waste. It was used as a low-cost sorbent to absorb
2-nitrophenol. Various tests, such as stirring time (0 to 360 min), pH (3 to 11), and initial concentration (2 to 200
mg/L) of the adsorbent were studied and examined. The adsorption studies performed showed that a pseudo-
second-order model can be used effectively to evaluate adsorption kinetics. The Langmuir model provides the best
fit for isothermal absorption. pHpzc was found to be 6.7. The sorbent used in this study showed great success in
removing 2-nitrophenol even at high concentrations. Bio char can be used as a sustainable solution in actual
environmental conditions and on an industrial scale.

Abstract.
Heavy metal pollution can be toxic to humans and wildlife, so it is very important to develop rapid and sensitive
methods to detect them. The present work deals with the development of electrochemical sensors based on ion
imprinting polymer for the detection of trace metal ions, especially cadmium ions, in the aquatic environment. A
platinum electrode was modified with poly (3,4ethylenedioxythiophene), (II/PEDOT), by an in situ
electropolymerization method with cadmium ions as the fingerprint ion. solvent extraction of cadmium ions created
cavities in the polymer matrix corresponding to the properties of the target ion (size, shape, and function). All these
phenomena are monitored and characterized by electrochemical methods CV and SWV under the conditions of
optimized experience. The modified electrode shows excellent electrochemical performance towards Cd²+ in a
linear range from 0.5to75 µg. l-¹, with a very good detection limit (LOD), quantification limit and an estimated
pressure factor of 0.05 µg. l-¹, 0.17 µg. l-¹ and 2.78, respectively.

Abstract.
Water pollution by heavy metals is a major environmental concern because of their non-biodegradability because
of their non-biodegradability and their strong toxicity, among these metals, we are interested in Lead. Pb salts enter
the environment through car exhaust fumes. The larger particles fall to the ground immediately and pollute the soil
and surface water, the smaller particles of Pb travel long distances in the air and remain in the atmosphere. Our
study will focus on the combination of adsorption and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry mass
spectrometry (ICP-MS) which has demonstrated in recent years that it offers efficient analytical performances of
trace elements.We will study the adsorption using a bioadsorbent made of a mixture of nuts, pecan and peanut
shells, to study their capacity of adsorption of heavy metal in water, based on the heavy (Lead) metals in water,
based on the results obtained by(ICP-MS).
The contact time, the dose of the pH and initial concentration are parameters that influence the adsorption process,
therefore they were process, therefore they were studied following a complete factorial design in order to better
understand the behavior of our raw adsorbent. After determination of the desirability of our factorial study, the
study of the adsorption isotherm of Lead on our support is carried out under the fixed optimal conditions. In order
to examine the transfer kinetics of lead to the surface of our shell mixture, two kinetic models were used to test the
experimental results in pseudo-first and pseudo-second order kinetics.

This paper discusses the synthesis of pure Ag co-doped ZnO was successfully accomplished using a biosynthesis
process. Materials with defined structures as have been prepared via henna extract. These solids are then dried and
then calcinated at a temperature of 400°C for four hours. The synthesized samples were characterized by Fourier
Transformer Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The photocatalytic ability of the samples
is estimated through degradation of tartrazine in aqueous solution under photocatalytic conditions. The effect of
operating parameters such as catalyst dose, initial concentration of tartrazine has been optimized for tartrazine
degradation as a function of time. Results showed that the removal rate of tartrazine dyes increased with the
increased dosage of catalyst and decreased with initial dyes concentration. Also the acidic condition is favorable for
degradation efficiency. The mechanism of photocatalytic activity was also proposed.

Abstract.
In this study, the electrocoagulation-electroflotation (EC-EF) process was assisted with the mucilage of Opuntia
ficus indica (OFI) cladode in order to enhance the COD removal efficiency of the industrial wastewater of food
Aromsa company and ingredients production at Gebze, Kocaeli, Turkey. Investigated parameters included initial
pH, Current density (j) , types of electrodes (iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al) anodes), mucilage concentration and
charge loading . The EC-EF using the Al electrodes and at optimum concentration of 200 mg/L OFI mucilage, pH
3 and j= 60 A/m2 improved the COD removal efficiency with 69.77 % in shorter time of t = 40 min (3048 C).
The operating costs, energy and electrode consumption were equal to 3.809 $/m3, 0.81 kWh/Kg COD removal and
0.7898 Kg/m3 respectively. Compared to Fe anodesm any improvement was noted with or without adding
mucilage at pH 6, j = 50A/m2 the COD % removal efficiency was 41.5 % at t = 120 min ( 7632 C) The operating
costs, energy and electrode consumption were equal to 4.2201 $/m3, 2.8 kWh/Kg COD removal and 3.0964
Kg/m3, respectively. The addition of 200 mg/L of OFI mucilage to EC-EF using Al electrodes allowed 69.77% of
COD efficiency at 40 min.

Abstract.
The rise of the water table in the region of Oued-Souf (south-east of Algeria) presents a major ecological and
environmental problem. The groundwater saturated with aggressive substances and minerals poses a great danger
to agriculture and building infrastructure. In the field of construction and building we always try to develop a
concrete that resists this aggression through the use of local resources.
In this context our paper is inscribed; it is a contribution to the use of a local material for the development of a
mortar (concrete), which resists well to this chemical aggression. We used crushed dune sand as an addition with
different percentages (10, 15, 20%) in order to find an optimal composition that gives good chemical and
mechanical performance. We found that this addition presents a good alternative to other additions commonly used
in the cementitious sector.

Keywords: groundwater, chemical attack, cement, dune sand, mechanical resistance, ecology.

Abstract.
This research work applies a clean technology to treat the concentrated waste waters of a brass pickling bath. This
last contains high concentration mixture of nitric acid and dissolved metals (Cu++, Zn++ and Pb++).
Now the studied industrial plant neutralizes HNO3 and precipitates the metals with these 3 major drawbacks:
• Loss of an expensive acid (50 % of the initial quantity);
• Pollution of the treated and rejected effluents by nitrates;
• Production of a problematic (filtration, storage, fate …) metal hydroxides sludge;
To solve these problems, we apply a clean hybrid technology:
• The diffusion dialysis with anion exchange membranes AMX; the result is excellent. We separate and
purify HNO3 with a high efficiency.
The remaining metals mixture contains Cu++, Zn++ and Pb++ which are processed by chemical (selective
precipitation) and physico – chemical (cementation, …) methods.
The experimental study gives the following results:
• Proton leakage Diffusion dialysis gives a good efficiency (≈50%) of nitric acid recovery in only a first
batch step.
• Selective precipitation of metal phosphates leads to excellent yields: 100 % of Pb ++, 91.275 % of Cu ++
and 86.61% of Zn ++.
• The test of copper cementation by powder of the zinc excess showed that the reaction gives an excellent
output (74.32%) of copper recovery.
The results obtained, seem that selective precipitation by phosphate, cementation and dialysis are effective and
economic techniques for recovery and recycling metals and acid of brass pickling bath It is a clean technology
which can be applied to stagnant bath.

Abstract.
The purification of wastewater through the use of the plants (phytoepuration) was used in dif¬ferent areas; it was
tested successfully for the reduction of organic pollution, for the elimination of phosphorus pollution, nitrogen
pollution, metals, and for the destruction of the pathogenic germs. This study reports the monitoring of purifying
performances of the different types of materials of the filters planted with macrophytes, which show a good
acclimatization in arid climate. Using a substrate composed of alluvial sand, alluvial gravel, clay and macrophyte
plants (Phragmites australis). The experimental pilot set_up consists of six plastic tubs capacity of 20 L. Three tubs
were planted with young stems of the studied species with the coverage of 15 stems/m2, and the other three tubs
remained unplanted to serve as reference object. The flow occurred by percolation through the substrate. The
residence time of water is 5 days. Treated water is recovered by a tap placed in bottom of the tub. The results show,
very satis¬factory outputs were obtained for particulate and organic pollution, where the decrease rates of reached
91% for suspended matter (SM), 88% for the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and 87% for the Bio¬logical
Oxygen Demand (BOD5). The elimination of nitrogen and phosphorous pollution resulted in decreasing rates of
94% for nitrates and 95% for orthophosphates. The plant sand combination gives the best yields for the elimination
of organic and nitrogen pollution. This performance refers to the nitrification and denitrification interactions
ensured by the bacteria, which colonize the roots of the plant. The combined action of plants and microorganisms
in a filter bed has allowed the degradation of the polluting load, by oxidation, reduction, denitrification and
nitrification, with well-defined genera of bacteria, such as Clostridium and Pseudomonas. The phyto-purification
process has highlighted the importance of filters and plants in the purification of wastewater, especially sand and
Phragmites australis.

Abstract.
Bismuth titanate (Bi4Ti3O12) ceramics, so-called BiT,has many recent applications in electronics, ionic, thermal,
optical and catalytic purification of polluted waters.We investigated the effect of 8% of Fe3+ doping on the
structural and optical properties of BiT Aurivilius, which was synthesized by the molten salt method, and its
properties were investigated using XRD and UV-visual techniques. X-ray diffraction patterns of our sample
indicated that the crystal phase of BiT-8% Fe was orthorhombic with (Fmmm/69) space group. The optical
properties of BiT-8% Fe using UV-Vis absorption spectra revealed that the optical band gap of BIT- 8% Fe is 3.55
(eV) higher than that of undoped BIT, making it effective as a catalyst for the degradation of organic pollutants
such as Rh-B and MB.

Abstract.
Water quality management in rivers is one of the most important environmental challenges. Classically, WQI is
commonly computed using the traditional methods, which involved lengthy calculations, are time consuming, and
are sometimes associated with inadvertent errors when calculating sub-indices. Therefore, it is essential to provide
an accurate prediction model for the WQI. Recently, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) among the most used
intelligence methods for estimation and prediction of complex environmental variables.
The objective of this research focuses on the prediction of WQI using the ANN model and the determination of the
most important input variables. The focus is on finding the best assessment of surface water quality in the Guenitra
dam, Oued Guabli by using the three classical indices WQINSF (National Sanitation Foundation Water Quality
Index), WQICCME (Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment Water Quality Index) and WQIAP
(weighted arithmetical Water Quality Index). For the selection of input parameters, a PCA was performed to reduce
the loads of 23 physical and chemical parameters. The Central Laboratory of the National Agency of Water
Resources, Eastern Region (Algeria), collected him. The results bring back 10 variables (DO, BOD5, COD, NH3,
NO2, PO4, TSS, Cond, T and pH) used in the calculation of the classical indices and as input parameter for the
prediction model. In addition, it attributes the pollution sources to essential anthropogenic activities.
The prediction of water quality index by ANN was performed by multi-layer artificial neural network models, the
effectiveness of these models was revealed using the dispersion (x - y) and fitness criteria which showed that the
ANN models predicted the quality indices well.
These results justify the use of the environmental modeling technique to reveal the water quality model for decision
making by the government and stakeholders.

Abstract.
Recently several research works are devoted to the valorization of date pits in different forms and in the present
study we are interested in the valorization of date pits in several fields (agri-food, therapeutic) having several uses:
Manufacturing of activated carbon, used for water dechloration and heavy metal removal process,The water used
is a drilling water coming from the region "Zellagua" in Mascara(Algeria) which is a water generally
hyperchlorinated because the use is anarchic of the bleach by the owners of the drilling water. However, it is
mentioned that the normal level of chlorine in drinking water is 0.5 mg/l.
Previously, we studied the physico-chemical characteristics of date pits. From the results obtained, it appears that
the physico-chemical characteristics of the pits are (in %): Moisture 5.83, pH 6.43, titratable acidity 1.18, ash 0.92,
whose most dominant mineral elements are (in % MS): k = 54.3, P = 19.3, a richness in organic matter and dry
matter 99.04, 94.16 respectively Thus, they contain a content of 2.89% protein, 4.14% total sugars, 6.05% fat,
cellulose rate is 9.13% and lignin 9.9%.
Then, this work proposes to produce an activated carbon from date pits capable of adsorbing pollutants present in
the drilling water. Moreover, the latter was likely to adsorb chlorine under the effect of contact time from 3.5
mg/ml to 0.2 mg/ml after 1h and 30min of contact, also we have seen a marked elimination of heavy metals present
(cobalt, nickel, zinc, copper),this results makes the project is interesting, valuable, and worth investigating further.

Abstract.
Groundwater is the major source for drinking purposes in northern Sahara of Algeria. Due to its high salinity,
minerals are removed from them by desalination plants. The present study was carried out to assess the quality of
drinking water produced by demineralization station designed to lower the groundwater salinity in Djamaa city,
Algeria. The assessment was done by investigating the physico-chemical water characteristics and heavy metals
concentrations. Representing water samples were collected from the drinking water treatment station . Water
quality characteristics include: pH, Turbidity, The total dissolved solids (TDS), EC (electrical conductivity),
Ca2+(calcium), Mg2+ (magnesium), K+ (potassium), HCO3-(bicarbonate), Cl- (chloride), and SO42- (sulfate),
Na+ (sodium) and NO3-(nitrate), NO2-. Water quality parameters were compared to the World Health
Organization (WHO) standards for drinking water. The obtained results revealed that of the studied
parameters fall within the World Health Organization standards. Accordingly, all of treated water samples fall in
excellent and good categories for drinking purpose. water treatment stations reduce groundwater salinity in order to
make the water suitable for drinking. Accordingly, there is an urgent need for the continuous monitoring of water
desalination plants and implementation of all the environmental health regulations and conditions. there is a great
necessity for a continuous monitoring and assessment of the quality of drinking water produced via water
treatment stations in order to protect the human health in the region.

Abstract.
New technologies have therefore appeared in recent years, including advanced oxidation processes (AOP). These
are technologies based on the production of highly reactive oxidizing species such as the hydroxyl radical, to
degrade recalcitrant organic pollutants [1].
Heterogeneous photocatalysis is one of these AOPs which has already demonstrated its ability to treat a large
number of pollutants. Propelled by the advancement of so-called photonic technologies, this technique has gained
ground in recent years and has proven to be very effective in eliminating toxic compounds in water in an
economical and clean way, because it uses a renewable energy source. and semiconductor materials at limited cost
[2, 3].
The objective of this study is to synthesis of a new material Ag2MnO2 which will be used in photocatalysis process
and to verify the effectiveness of this material in the treatment of wastewater obtained from Ain Taghrout WWTP.
The results showed that the synthetized Ag2MnO2 possesses very encouraging photocatalytic properties which
given the significant decrease in COD from 600 mg/l to 60 mg/l. The BOD5 was decreased from 300 mg/l up to 26
mg/l which represents a depollution efficiency of 91%

Abstract.
Dynamic adsorption experiments were carried out to explore the feasibility of using the activated carbon prepared
from Adrar's refinery sewage sludge (ACSS) for the removal of dye (methylene blue). The preparation of activated
carbon was applied by chemical activation with 2:1 ratio of phosphoric acid (H3PO4). Identification of the
functional groups present in the adsorbent was carried out by using FTIR analysis. The adsorption of the dye was
influenced with different bed high of ACSS (5 and 7 cm). The result indicated that the dynamic adsorption removal
efficiency of MB increase with increasing the bed high of adsorbent. The prediction of breakthrough curves was
obtained by using Bohart-Adams, Wolborska, Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models. However, the entire breakthrough
curve was best predicted by Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models (R2>0.97). The study concludes that removal of MB
in fixed-bed system using the prepared ACSS is an effective and feasible method.

Abstract.
Water treatment is at the heart of the environmental concerns of industrialists. Conventional processes such as
physical-chemical and biological processes have been used to treat wastewater containing organic compounds.
However, they are inefficient for recalcitrant aromatic compounds. Electrochemistry presents an interesting
alternative for the treatment of industrial wastewater because it is mainly based on electron transfer and can be
applied to a large number of non-biodegradable organic pollutants. The efficiency of electrochemical processes is
related to the choice of the electrode material. Anode materials such as Pt, PbO2, SnO2, or boron-coated diamond
film (BDD) are very effective, but the high cost of BDD, the possible toxicity of lead leaching from PbO2 and the
short life span of SnO2 limit the actual application of these electrodes. MnO2 has been one of the most studied
oxides for decades due to its remarkable properties, its wide availability at a good price and its relative
harmlessness towards the environment and, consequently, the wide range of applications for which this material
can be used. It is in this context that this study is situated, whose objective is to make a contribution in the
treatment of water. The treatment of phenol is carried out by an electrochemical process based on
chronoamperometry using an electrode based on a thin film of MnO2 electrodeposited on a stainless steel substrate
(SS/MnO2). The results showed that the use of this electrode in the proposed electrochemical process allowed to
obtain a phenol degradation rate of 80.31% after 4h of treatment under the optimal conditions of initial phenol
concentration of 10 mg.L-1, an applied potential of 0.8 V/ESS and a pH of 3 with a kinetic of order 1.

Abstract.
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the adsorption of nickel(II) ions on activated carbon derived from
sewage sludge. Batch adsorption experiments were performed as a function of initial Ni(II) ions concentration and
contact time. The experimental data were analyzed by different models and Freundlich model showed better
representation of equilibrium data (R2>0.99), the maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 11.52 mg.g-1 and
the mean adsorption energy (E= 3.98 kJ mol-1) indicated that the adsorption process controlled by physically
process. The value of adsorption energy indicates that nickel(II) adsorption would be attributed to a physico-
chemical adsorption process rather than a pure physical or chemical adsorption process. Based on the results of the
present study, activated carbon prepared from sewage sludge can be used as cost effective and potential adsorbent
for the treatment of waterscontaining nickel(II) ions

pillar were investigated on fluorescent dye adsorption.The adsorption isotherms fit well with the non-linear
Langmuir isotherm model and the maximum adsorption capacities of all the materials are determined. The X-ray
diffraction (XRD) was done to determine the location of the dye molecule. The pillar improves the adoption
capacity towards fluorescein due to its location inside interlayer space. Interestingly, the time resolved fluorescence
show that the dye is not released in solution as it is the case for the pristine clay.

Abstract.
Industries are the main source of water pollution due to release of toxic pollutants including surfactant. It becomes
urgent to propose low cost and environmentally friendly solutions involving the use of local resources. Here, the
properties of the Zr- pillared smectite, with the Zr to adsorb the 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride are
investigated.The adsorption isotherms as well as the kinetic are measured. The modified clay sample were
characterized in detail using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR),
thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).The XRD analysis showed the increase of basal spacing of pillared clay
prepared from 12.22 to 16.05 Å. For the butylmethylimidazolium the adsoption capacities are not enhanced by the
presence of pillar as it is the case for the pristine clay. Adsorption isotherms, displayed that the maximum
adsorption capacity of Mt-Na and PMt-Na according to the Langmuir model were 54.77 mg/g and 22.70 mg/g,
respectively.

Abstract.
The complex wetland Sanhadja consists of a mosaic of ecosystems hosting a rich and original biodiversity
representing a great interest in the services and the roles they play in the context of natural resources and the local
socio-economic development.
Unfortunately, these resources are subject to serious threats from natural disturbances (climate change) combined
with an important human pressure: encroachment for the purpose of farming, fires, the sands, wind dynamics and
silting jeopardize the future of the complex, its ecosystems and sustainability
Conservation of the natural heritage of wetlands is a popular concept in Algeria (Act 83-03 of 5 February 1983 on
the protection of the environment, and the law of 17 February 2011 concerning the areas protected as part of
sustainable development). However, even if the developed laws state coercive clauses and set up specialized
structures in the defense and promotion of biodiversity, the field reality contrasts strangely with the policy initiated
by the government since the environmental situation remains worrying and natural resources continue to
deteriorate.
In short, our aim in this work is to see the state of affairs, human action on an even natural environment, home to
wetlands (Ramsar Convention) where we try to take stock of the various threats to the natural heritage (water and
biodiversity).
The other aspect we try to move towards sustainable management of test that will satisfy both the needs of the local
population while preserving the complex components that support the very life of these populations. This new
management approach, based on cooperation, communication and participation of all stakeholders is necessary.

Abstract.
Environmental catalysis represents a fascinating and promising field of research to address new environmental
challenges. It is widely used for the degradation and mineralization of hazardous organic compounds into CO2 and
H2O, the reduction of toxic metal ions to non-toxic states, the deactivation and destruction of waterborne
microorganisms and the decomposition of air pollutants such as volatile organic compounds. In recent years, the
photocatallysers based on silicon nanowires (SiNWs) has been the subject of many studies due to the interesting
physicochemical properties of this material. In the present work, we coated silicon nanowires, obtained by metal-
assisted chemical etching, by the manganese dioxide MnO2 films by chemical bath deposition (CBD) method to
realize a photocatallyser. Firstly, we have studied the influence of the deposition time on the different properties.
Indeed, the morphology, the chemical composition, the crystalline phases as well as the electrochemical
performances were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled to the analysis by Energy Dispersive
X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), cyclic voltammetry (CV), Galvanostatic Charge-Discharge
(GCD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), UV-Visibel spectroscopy on reflectance defuse mode
(UV-Visible). This study allowed us to find that the MnO2 film deposited for 15 min followed by annealing at
200°C presents the best photocatallytical activity with a degradation random of 100% on 75min for Rodamin B.
We also showed that the formation time of the silicon nanowires has a significant effect on the morphological and
photocatalitical properties. This allowed us to conclude that MnO2-coated SiNWs is a promising way to fabricate
high-performance thin films photocatallysers.

Keywords: photocatalyst, envirenement, nanocomposites, silicon nanowires.

Abstract.
The water crisis is a pandemic concern due to the ever increasing demand for drinking water. Reverse osmosis
(RO) has become an essential technology in the purification of non-traditional water sources such as brackish, sea
and wastewater and is the most efficient technique for seawater desalination purposes. Therefore, it is important to
ensure high performance of RO plants, which is possible by adjusting parameters such as feed pressure,
permeability, feed salinity and control of biofouling problems. Biofouling reduces the actual performance of the
membrane through microbial generation in a biofilm that forms on the membrane surface. Biofouling in a seawater
reverse osmosis (SWRO) plant is controlled by the surrounding environment as well as the feed water pretreatment.
For the prevention of biofouling, the improvement of pretreatment is one of the solutions provided in the study of
Yee et al. Silver-zeolite (AgZ) nanocomposite material is proposed as a promising anti-microfouling agent. They
evaluated the effectiveness of AgZ in inhibiting biofilm, involving H. pacifica which is a marine bacterium used as
a model organism responsible for biofilm. They found that biofilm formation of H. pacifica was reduced by up to
81% by AgZ nanocomposites loaded with up to 10% Ag by weight, demonstrating its property against a common
fouling microorganism in the early stages of biofouling.

Keywords: Desalination, seawater pretreatment, biofouling, AgZ nanocomposite, anti-microfouling.

Abstract.
Elimination of phosphorus (P) from contaminated water is a great challenge for its recycling as a fertilizer and
limiting pollution of water bodies. This work proposes the preparation of composite material adsorbent based
biochar and layered double hydroxide. MgAl-LDH (2:1) were chemically co-precipitated within the biochar
porosity; then calcined to form MgAl-Biochar composite. The synthetized material was characterized and used as
adsorbent for the removal of high content of P from synthetic solution and surface water in the batch system.
Results confirmed that the LDH phase was successfully co-precipitated onto the biochar surface. Batch
experiments show that the prepared composite is very efficient in adsorbing P and strongly outperformed the
started biochar.
This study reports new insights on the adsorption of P and proposes a novel effective material for enhancing P
recovery and wastewater treatment.

Keywords: layered double hydroxide, biochar, composite, phosphorus, adsorption.

Abstract.
Bio sorbents can be an alternative to activated carbon. They are derived from agricultural by-products or aquatic
biomass. They are inexpensive and they may have comparable performances to those of activated carbon.
The present study focuses on the removing of Nickel from water by using two new low-cost materials; natural
algae Carolina Elongata (CE), and the Carolina Elongata treated at 900 °C (CE900). The materials were
characterized using various characterization techniques such as FTIR, SEM and XRD, which showed that the
material consisted essentially of calcite containing magnesium. The kinetics results of nickel removing showed that
the quantity of nickel eliminated is increased from 23 to 945mg / g, when we did the treatment onto the algae, and
the pseudo second order model fitted perfectly well with the experimental results. Finally, the results have shown a
strong affinity between the Ni2+ and our materials.

Abstract.
Antibiotics are among the emerging contaminants, which have received an increasing attention in recent years
because of their wide use over the world. They are introduced into surface water and groundwater sources due to
urban and industrial effluents. Considering their high stability, they do not only disrupt the common processes of
sewage treatment, but also have toxic effects on humans and other living organisms, and their removal have
therefore been considered. Among such Antibiotics, metronidazole is occurred in the environment due to its
resistance to biological breakdown. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Fenton oxidation for the
elimination of metronidazole from aqueous solutions. In order to enhance the process of Fenton oxidation process,
several operational parameters were varied, such as reaction time, catalyst concentration and the concentration of
hydrogen peroxide. The obtained results showed that Fenton oxidation is very effective in removing metronidazole
with a yield of 88 % for an equilibrium time of one hour. It also appeared that the highest percentage of removal of
metronidazole in FeSO4 catalyst concentration of 8 mg/l, hydrogen peroxide concentration of 400 mg/L. Based on
the results obtained from this study, it can be concluded that Fenton oxidation process is an effective process for the
removal of metronidazole from aqueous solutions.

Abstract.
Among the multi-dentate nitrogen donor ligands, the synthesis of some of the metal hexamethylenetetramine
complexes and their antimicrobial activity have been reported [1]. Hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA, C6H12N4),
is an heterocyclic tetradentate donor ligand, which has been used medicinally as an antiseptic agent for the
treatment of urinary tract infections [2].
Studies of HMTA coordination compounds with different metal salts have therefore attracted much attention.
Complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) have been synthesized in ethanol. While the cobalt(II) and copper(II)
complexes have one molecule of hexamethylenetetramine, the nickel complex has two molecules. These complexes
have been characterised by infrared and UV-Visible spectroscopy, conductivity and scanning electron microscope
(SEM). The results suggest octahedral coordination in which the central metal ion is bonded to HMTA and aqua
ligands. Complexes with hexamethylenetetramine and thiocyanate ion as coligands have been synthesized too and
characterised by infrared spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopic techniques [3].

Keywords: Hexamethylenetetramine, Complexes, SEM.

Abstract.
In the current study, barium doped and undoped zinc oxide thin films have been prepared by successive ionic layer
adsorption and reaction technique at various doping concentrations (0 wt. %, 1 wt. %, and 7 wt. %). Analysis and
discussion were done on how Ba-doping concentrations affected on the physical characteristics of ZnO thin film.
The structural, morphological and surface roughness properties were exhibited using X-ray diffractometry (XRD)
and atomic force microscope (AFM), respectively. The X-ray diffraction reveals the polycrystalline of ZnO films
with hexagonal wurtzite structure, whereas, the preferred orientation changed from (102) to (002) plane with the
increase of Ba concentration. AFM results showed that the thickness of the film increases with the increase of Ba-
doping from 116.97 nm to 319.05 nm corresponding to a decrease in surface roughness up to 0.124 um.
Furthermore, the study of water droplet contact angle (WDCA) on the surface of the films using homemade
technique showed that the increase in Ba doping concentration enhanced the hydrophilicity of the films. The
wettability of the films is major at 3% Ba with an average WDCA of 39.43 °.

optical characteristics.The films are characterized by several techniques such as DRX, UV-Visible transmission
and the results suggest that the prepared films are uniform and well adherent to the substrates. Films thicknesses
estimated by gravimetric method were between 270 –632nm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed that Cr2O3
films were polycrystalline with rhombohedral crystal structure, with crystallite size around 37,18 nm. The optical
study confirms that the transmittance of Cr2O3 films decreases with the increase of precursor concentration. The
optical gap of Cr2O3 thin films are found to be in a range of 3.48 –3.38 eV.

Abstract.
Corrosion of steel reinforcement in reinforced concrete is the greatest problem. This phenomenon often
encountered in coastal areas and aggressive environments is regarded as the most common degradation of
reinforced concrete structures. This pathology results from the aggressiveness of the environment but also from
design and implementation defects. Corrosive substances such as chloride, sulfate and carbon dioxides are the most
harmful, which can lead to a reduction in strength, bursting, expansion or loss of mass in concrete. As a result, huge
economic losses and many ecological problems are noted. Many researchers have studied in depth the problem of
corrosion in reinforced concrete and formulate the most costeffective solution of adding inhibitors that can be used
in a preventive or restorative way. objective of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness of inhibiting the corrosion
of steel in a solution of sulphuric acid by the use of an organic inhibitor (ferrocenic derivative), using
electrochemical methods such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy which we show that at low frequency
inhibition is due to the formation of a deposition and stable that limits corrosion

Abstract.
In order to develop the electrogalvanized steel with high corrosion resistance, conventional electrogalvanizing bath
was modified with an addition of Co and Cr compounds. The increase in chromium-content in the Zn-Co-Cr
coating can be interesting for the anticorrosive performance of these coating. Diffusion barrier properties of
electrochemically deposited Zn-Co-Cr alloys were examined. The deposit morphology was analyzed using
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and an X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) was used to determine the preferred
crystallographic orientations of the deposits. Protection against corrosion properties studied in a solution of 3.5 %
wt NaCl in the potentiodynamic polarization measurements (Tafel), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)
to the potential of corrosion free. The parameters that characterize the corrosion behavior can be determined from
the plots and Nyquist plots. XRD and SEM results of the Zn-Co-1.94 wt. % Cr electrogalvanized steel showed that
the alloy coating consist of a zinc-rich (η-phase), cubic γ-Co5Zn21 and chromium-rich (Cr matrix) phases, with
nanocrystalline structure and uniform surface. Potentiodynamic polarization scans and EIS measurements showed
that the nanocrystalline chromium-cobalt alloyed zinc coating resisted red rusting in more than twice as long as
conventional electrogalvanized coating of the same thickness. Zn-Co-1.94 wt. % Cr alloy can be considered as
good diffusion barrier for steel diffusion. Electrodeposited thin film of these metals (Zn, Co, Cr), either do not
possess diffusion barrier properties, e.g. Cr, or have inferior diffusion barrier properties. The improved corrosion
resistance of this deposit coating was attributed to its surface chemistry, phase content, texture, and surface
morphology.

Abstract.
Highly corrosion resistant of steel coated Zn-18 wt. % Cr was applied in corrosive of marine environment. In this
work, we have done an experimental study of Zn-Cr coatings, for this the influence of Cr concentration was the
principal object to improve the corrosion resistance of the coatings, which has been made by two step; technique of
Zn-Cr electrodeposition and Cr pack cementation, have been studied by several characterization methods as the X-
ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Protection against corrosion properties studied in
a solution of 5 wt. % NaCl for two days and week in the potentiodynamic polarization measurements (Tafel) and
electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to the potential of corrosion free. XRD and SEM results of the Zn-
18 wt. % Cr electrogalvanized steel showed that the alloy coating consist of a zinc-rich (η-phase), cubic γ-Cr5Zn21
and chromium-rich (Cr matrix) phases, with nanocrystalline structure and uniform surface. Potentiodynamic
polarization scans and EIS measurements revealed up to five times higher corrosion resistance of Cr-rich alloy as
compared to that of the conventionally used Zn-1Cr alloy. The results showed the microstructure of two days
corroded samples has duplex layer comp -(Zn, Cr) and outer Cr2O3, while a quite thin and continues
protective oxide of Cr2O3 was observed in outer layer of week corroded samples. The formation of oxide scale rich
in Cr2O3 has contributed for the better corrosion resistance of Zn-Cr alloy. Electrodeposited thin films of these
metals, at the thickness of 1000 Å, either do not possess diffusion barrier properties, e.g. Cr, or have inferior
diffusion barrier properties. Zn-18 wt. % Cr alloy can be considered as good diffusion barriers for steel diffusion.

the degradation of these steels before use is essential and has such importance. The aim of this study is to
characterize the pitting corrosion of 2209 duplex stainless steel weldments, used in the manufacture of the welded
pipelines. The experimental study is based on the metallographic observations, the mechanical hardness
measurements and the electrochemical polarization tests. The evolution of the morphology of the pits of the duplex

Currently, the surface treatment of coatings is attracting more and more attention from specialists and even
governments. In the energy sector, in particular with the orientation towards clean energies; the integration of the
photocatalytic application within the photovoltaic energy becomes an ecological indispensability infinitely
desirable by the researchers; the idea of this study is to investigate a replacement of the glass which represents the
famous photovoltaic protection facades by a material mechanically resistant with encouraging photocatalytic
properties. In this work, we sought to study the thermal, optical and photocatalytic properties of a poly(methyl
methacrylate) PMMA polymer doped with zinc oxide ZnO, the latter which was introduced into the polymer matrix
using a protocol of very specific preparation, four nanocomposites are obtained: PMMA: (0% ZnO, 5% ZnO, 10%
ZnO, 15% ZnO). The ATD–TG analyzes show a significant improvement in the thermal resistance of the filled
polymer; however a qualitative improvement is obtained by doping the ZnO in the polymer. 65% photocatalytic
degradation was observed. It can be said that these results give a positive impression of the use of this PMMA/ZnO
nanocomposite with its ecological aspect.

Abstract.
Nowadays perovskite materials have been mostly preferred due to their outstanding optic, magnetic, and catalytic
properties. Lanthanum- based perovskite materials have been specifically used in solar cells, magnetic materials,
solid oxide fuel cell electrodes, catalysts, chemical sensors, oxygen permeation membranes, hydrogen storage and
optoelectronic devices thanks to good stability.
Lanthanum orthoferrite (LaFeO3) has a direct and narrow energy band gap. It is also chemically stable and
nontoxic with high electron mobility. The efficiency of these materials relies on the synthesis techniques including
solid-state reaction, hydrothermal synthesis, combustion synthesis, wet sonochemical synthesis, EDTA glycine
process, and reverse microemulsion process and sol–gel.

treatment .and the the substitution effect on the different proprieties.
The effect of doping on the lanthanum ferrite prepared was investigated. Thermal decomposition of the of LaFeO3
was characterized by TG/DTA thermal analysis. The synthesized powders were characterized by means of X-ray
diffraction (XRD), infrared spectra (IR), and ultraviolet (UV-Vis) were used to study the photocatalytic activity.

Abstract.
Ni–MoS2 composite coatings were electrodeposited from a nickel chloride bath containing particles in suspension,
which were dispersed with the aid of an organic agent such as SDS. The Ni–MoS2 composite coatings were
prepared on steel substrates (BS2). The effects of the organic agent on co- deposition, morphology, corrosion and
mechanical properties of composite coatings were investigated. Several characterization methods have been used
to study these coatings, namely X-ray diffraction, adhesion quality, measurement of micro-hardness and layer
morphology by scanning electron microscopy, polarization, lost mass. These coatings were subsequently subjected
to an aggressive medium composed of a 0.6M NaCl solution to study their resistance to corrosion. Experimental
results showed that the addition of SDS could improve the microhardness of the composite coatings, reduce the
agglomeration of big size-grained (particles), and achieve a more uniform distribution of MoS2 particles in the
nickel matrix. From the Potentiodynamic polarization curve of electrodeposited Ni–MoS2 it is confirmed that the
corrosion resistance increases with low concentrations of SDS, which gives the best protection coating against
corrosion and high hardness.

coating materials based on characteristic as protective material for oxidation. Cobalt can improve oxidation
resistance. In present work, Zn-Co was diffusion-coated onto steel by electrodeposition. The objective of this
research is to study the structure of Zn-Co phases on steel and to understand the relationship between the Co
content and oxidation resistance. The deposit morphology was analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy

XRD and SEM results of the Co-rich Zn-18 wt.% Co electrogalvanized steel showed that the alloy coating consist
of a zinc-rich (η-phase) and cubic γ-Co5Zn21 phases, with nanocrystalline structure and uniform surface.
Potentiodynamic polarization scans and EIS measurements showed that the increase in the Co codeposition in a Zn-
Co alloy changes the coating protection process from a sacrificial coating to a protective one because Co have
inferior diffusion barrier properties. It revealed up to five times higher corrosion resistance of Co-rich alloy, at the
thickness of 1000 Å, as compared to that of the conventionally used Zn-1Co alloy of the same thickness. Zn-18 wt.

Abstract.
The problem of degradation by corrosion appears especially in the casings and steel tubings which represent the
framework of the well. Its last are in permanent contact with very aggressive brine used to overcome the
hydrostatic pressure of the reserve's hydrocarbons. The corrosion of its tubing causes their perforation which leads
to the infiltration of crude through the walls of the well.
To combat this problem have resorted to the use of corrosion inhibitors as a protection technique, this technique is
from an efficiency and simplicity, quite profitable, however, the inhibiting agents used are often expensive mineral
compounds and quite toxic.
This abstract resides on the study of corrosion inhibitors used at oil and gas wells and their effect on types of steel
in neutral meduim and at different concentrations of sodium chloride. This experimental work is also dedicated to
the possibility of replacing these inhibitors and designing a green corrosion inhibitor formulation with better
efficiency, economic and respect for the environment.

Abstract.
Thin films of Nickel oxide (NiO) were prepared on glass substrates by the spray pyrolysis method using a spray
and heater assembly manufactured in our laboratory. The thin layers were deposited on substrates heated to 450°C.
The precursor solutions were prepared on the basis of nickel oxide diluted in a solvent formed from three quarters
of demineralized water and one quarter of absolute methanol. The concentrations used are (0.05; 0.10; 0.15; 0.20;
0.25; 0.30; 0.40 mol. /L). The structural properties of the different samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction
(XRD). The diffractograms obtained show that the nickel oxide deposited in thin layers has a cubic structure
belonging to the space group Fm-3m. The film structure is that of a single phase created with preferential
orientation along the (111) axis in films. The size of the crystallites varies from 524 nm for the 0.10 mol. /L
concentration up to 147 nm for the 0.40 mol. /L concentration. The displacement of the diffraction peaks revealed
the appearance of stresses in the films formed. The stresses measured vary from 1% (0.40 mol. /L) to 0.03% (0.10

Abstract.
In this investigation, the influence of vanadium alloying to TiSiN/CrN system deposited by D.C reactive magnetron
sputtering on microstructure and mechanical properties was studied. As expected, all coatings displayed several
peaks belonging to the (111), (200), (220) and (222) diffraction plans of an fcc crystalline structure. The cross-
sectional images of the deposited coatings clearly revealed that all multilayered films have very well-defined
columnar microstructures. No important changes on the cross-section morphology of the coatings could be detected
with V addition. Also, adding of vanadium to the coating has no effect on the residual stresses level and adhesion.
It was found that the critical loads Lc1 and Lc2 characteristics of the coatings adhesion to the substrate were similar
for all the coatings. However hardness of the coatings increased with increasing vanadium concentration in films,
reaching the maximum value of 30 GPa for the highest vanadium content. The improvement of the hardness and
Young’s modulus of the multilayer coatings is tentatively explained by the incorporation of V in solid solution in
the CrN lattice.

Abstract.
XRD is powerful tool to characterize the microstructure of the polycrystalline samples. It gives the microstructures
of the sample in statistical manner. X-ray diffraction line profile analysis (XRDLPA) is one of the potential indirect
Methods of characterizing the state defect. Basically, XRDLPA provides quantitative as well as qualitative
information on several microstructral parameters, small crystallite size, size distribution, microstrain, and density of
dislocation stacking faults, energy... from broadening XRD peaks.
Dislocations are known for their peculiar effects on the diffraction profiles. Each given dislocation type, produces
specific anisotropic line broadening basically determined by the so-called contrast factor (CF). Whole powder
pattern modeling (WPPM) procedure allows a one-step refinement of microstructure parameters by a direct
modeling of the experimental pattern. Lattice parameter and defect content, expressed as dislocation density, outer
cut-off radius, contrast factor, can be refined to gather with the parameters (mean and variance) of a grain-size
distribution All data were analyzed by the software PM2K in this paper. After applyingof heat treatments we
obtained these results: Before heat treatment the density of dislocation in the heat affected zone (HAZ) was(ρ=
6.501594) but after the isothermal annealing at 400°C and 600°C for 10 min, we found a decrease in the density
of dislocation(ρ=5.166125.1014 m-2 and 5.676957.1014 m-2 respectively). The values of the Wilkens parameter
(M), the dimensionless parameter M is the factor for characterizing the dislocation arrangement are 0,667272 and
1.230876 corresponding to 400 °C and 600°C heat treatments for 10 min respectively). After the isothermal
annealing at 400°C we have obtained total screw dislocations, contrary at 600°C we attained edge dislocations.

Abstract.
In recent years, bio-composites have attracted great interest from researchers, especially in the field of industrial
research on new alternative materials to corrosive materials. Hence these biomaterials have proven their
effectiveness in the industrial field due to their good mechanical and thermal properties in addition to their low
density and their respect for the environment. Where these bio-materials are commensurate with the principle of
sustainable development and the current destination of the world as being degradable, recyclable, and anti-
corrosion. In this context, this experimental study was carried out which focused on the preparation of a bio-
composite (short fiber of date palm tree/epoxy), with the study of the effect of the size of the fibers and the mass
ratio of the fibers on the mechanical properties of these bio-composites. The mechanical test results obtained are
used to valorize these fibers for possible industrial applications; Generally speaking, these results show a
significant improvement in the modulus of elasticity and the surface hardness of materials reinforced with these
fibers, The results showed the highest modulus of elasticity 1.286 GPa when in the fiber composite with a size of (
0.8 - 1 mm ) and a mass ratio of 16%, but with a decrease in the value of the surface hardness. The fiber-based
composite with a size of ( 0.315 - 0.5 mm ) was improved at a mass ratio of 10%, a significant improvement in the
modulus of elasticity 1.255 GPa, and with an increased surface hardness of 20% higher than that of virgin epoxy,
making it the best.

Abstract.
In recent years, the mechanical properties of synthetic polymeric materials have been enhanced by combining them
with various reinforcing fillers, such as lignocellulosic materials, which are among the most environmentally
friendly agrowaste and will play a significant role in resolving the most pressing environmental issues of the future.
Because they degrade with time, these materials are simple to gather from agrowaste and have no environmental
impact. This study aims to determine the effects of palm fiber alkali treatments and silane coupling agents on the
mechanical, thermal, and water absorption properties of polyethylene PE composites. Examine the effects of fiber
treatments using infrared spectroscopy. The use of treated fibers in composite materials enhances mechanical
properties compared to untreated composites. In addition, SEM images showed a strong interfacial adhesion
between the treated fibers and polyethylene composite surfaces, resulting in enhanced water absorption and thermal
stability.

Abstract.
The inhibitive action of Sodium Molybdate on Mild Steel corrosion in 0.6MNaCl+ 0.01MNa2SO4 solution was
studied using weight loss measurements, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance
spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. The surface of the Mild Steel samples was also analyzed by scanning electron
microscopy (SEM) in the absence and presence of inhibitor. Polarization curves indicate that Sodium Molybdate is
a anodic –type inhibitor in 0.6MNaCl+ 0.01MNa2SO4 solution and the inhibition efficiency (IE%) is temperature-
dependent. Adsorption of Sodium Molybdate on the Mild Steel surface follows the Langmuir isotherm model. The
thermodynamic parameters of dissolution and adsorption processes are calculated from experimental polarization
data and interpretation of the results are given. The results showed that the adsorption of the Sodium Molybdate is
related to the concentration and strongly influenced by the temperature. The thermodynamic study has shown that
the adsorption process is spontaneous (negative free energy) and physical type.

Abstract.
The welding operation causes, through its energy input and sometimes through the metal input, metallurgical
modifications at the level of the welded joint.
These modifications will affect the microstructures of the melted zone and the heat-affected zones. In fact, the
welded joint is subject to various problems resulting from these modifications: Hydrogen embrittlement, cold
cracking phenomenon, appearance of hot cracking (liquation) during solidification, shrink marks, intergranular
cracking.These issues concern both the molten zone (which has changed to a liquid state during the welding
operation) and the heat-affected zone. The heat-affected zone called HAZ is the seat of metallurgical modifications
of the base metal which can induce brittleness, reductions in mechanical resistance, lack of ductility.
These modifications depend on the welded material, the process used, the operating mode followed. To improve
the properties and to minimize the problems due after welding, heat treatments will be applied to the level of the
welded joint.

Keywords: Welding, Steel, molten zone, heat affected zones, base metal, microstructure.

Abstract.
Twin wire arc spray (TWAS) has been the most popular process to produce metallic coatings to protect steel
structures against corrosion thanks to its low effective cost and high deposition. However, in highly aggressive
conditions of combined erosion corrosion attack, metallic coatings suffer from an acceleration of material
degradation. In such applications, Cermet material coatings combining a tough and corrosion-resistant metallic
matrix reinforced with hard ceramic particles are strongly recommended. In this work, a cored wire feedstock was
used to prepare FeCrNiSiB-WC-TiC cermet coatings on carbon steel substrates by TWAS process. The coatings
were examined by X-Ray Diffraction analysis (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to investigate the
phases and microstructure of the coatings. The mechanical properties of the coatings: microhardness and fracture
toughness were assessed by the Vickers indentation method. The coatings displayed a heterogonous and layered
microstructure. Considerable decomposition of W-C and TiC carbides and phase dissolution of W and Ti in the
metallic matrix were detected. Consequently, new phases of complex carbides and oxides were formed, leading to
alterations in the mechanical properties of the coatings. The microhardness of the coatings showed a relatively high
value exceeding ( 890 HV03) thanks to the embedded carbides as well as the newly formed phases. While the
fracture toughness was low only in the areas rich in oxides and brittle phases. Generally, the coating is considered
sufficiently hard and tough to be a good candidate for erosion protection application.

Abstract.
The importance of our study lies in the need to meet the economic needs of maintenance of industrial plants by
studying the inhibitory action to reduce the speed of corrosion processes. Much scientific research has been
devoted to this effect. This work aims to extract essential oil from pine leaves and test the effectiveness of its
inhibition of corrosion of a piece of A333 carbon steel in an acid medium (HCl - M 1 ) by the weight loss method
at a temperature of 25C, The results obtained showed that the speed of solid dissolution depends on the
concentration of the base oil and the immersion time, the corrosion inhibiting activity increases with the increase in
the concentration of the inhibitor and also with the immersion time and reaches a maximum value of 58.9% for the
time = 24 h for a concentration of 1 g/litre of oil, the electrostatic reaction is evidenced (physical adsorption)
between the oil-laden particles and the surface of the steel, which allows the formation of a protective and insoluble
layer. We also concluded that increasing the temperature reduces the effectiveness of corrosion inhibition.

Abstract.
carbon steel is one of the most widely used engineering materials owing to its outstanding mechanical properties,
low cost, and ready availability. Its high vulnerability to corrosion attack, however, limits some of its applications.
The objective of this work is to review briefly the general results of experimental and theoretical study of new
Schiff base ligand, namely 1-p-tolyl-N-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)methanimine, as an effective corrosion inhibitor for
XC40 carbon steel in 1.0 M hydrochloric acid solution. Electrochemical experiments were performed in a
conventional three-electrode cell. The cast iron sample was used as the working electrode (WE); a saturated
Ag/AgCl electrode and a platinum foil (surface area of 1.0 cm2) were used as reference and counter electrode,
respectively. Results from electrochemical measurements showed that the triazole-based compound were effective
in inhibiting corrosion in acidic medium. The polarization curves show that this compound act as a mixed-type
inhibitor with predominantly anodic characteristics. In addition, it was established the Langmuir adsorption
isotherm fits well with the experimental data. The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveal that the
triazole-based compound confirmed the presence of a protective layer on the surface of a mild steel sample. The
density-functional theory as a quantum modeling technique that is used to study the electronic structure reveals that
the obtained findings were found to be consistent with the experimental results. In this work, the study was
conducted using several electrochemical measurements coupled with SEM observations and EDX analysis. The
results obtained showed that, the maximum value was achieved at 10-3 M at 25°C, which was approximately
93.6%, 94.6% and 90.55%, according to the potentiodynamic polarization curves, EIS results and weight loss
measurement, respectively.

Abstract.
The need for improved coatings for better corrosion resistance, allowed the development of composite electrolytic
deposits, by incorporating solid particles into the structure of Zinc, Based on this, ZnO is chosen as recess particles
to improve corrosion behaviors. The object of our work is the elaboration and the electrochemical, morphological
and structural characterization of zinc-ZnO composite deposits, on a mild steel E 24 substrate. These deposits are
obtained from a sulfated electrodeposition bath. In a first step, we studied the electrochemical behavior of the bare
substrate in a 3.5% NaCl medium, then the zinc coatings were deposited potentiostatically by applying a corrosion
potential (-0.6) constant for 900 s. The second part focuses on the study of the morphological and electrochemical
characterizations of the coatings obtained on steel by corrosion tests in a sodium chloride solution. The surface
morphology of the coatings was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and those of electrochemical
impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization measurements (Tafel). Our results obtained are
considerably encouraging for the protection of mild steel against corrosion by Zn. The deposited alloy coatings
were compact.

Abstract.
In this present work, cycle numbers' impact on the corrosion, structural, microstructural and morphological
properties of NiP films electrodeposited on Cu substrates was studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was carried out to
obtain the structural parameters such as the preferential orientation, the out-in-plane strain〖 ε〗^hkl (%), and the
mean grain size <D (nm)>. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and SEM microscopy were used to study the
morphology of the NiP films. Note that, the NiP films' thickness grows as the cycle numbers increases. The XRD
results show that the NiP films are polycrystalline and grow with the <200> texture. As the cycle numbers increase,
the lattice parameters gradually decrease. The out-in-plane strain, 〖 ε〗^hkl (%), is positive for all samples. With
increasing cycle numbers, the strain value decreases, indicating that stress is relieved as NiP thickness increases.
With increasing cycle numbers (increasing NiP thickness), the mean grain size, D(nm), varies between 47 and 78
nm. The variation of D (nm) with the cycle numbers shows a maximum equal to 78 Å corresponds to a cycle
numbers equal to 2. The impact of cycle number and thickness on grain morphology, size, and dispersion was
investigated. Open circuit potential (OCP) measurements, potentiodynamic polarization measurements (Tafel), and
electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to study the corrosion prevention properties. All these
results will be discussed and correlated.

Abstract.
The spray pneumatic method has been successfully employed for the preparation of polycrystalline NiO thin films.
This work aims to study the effect of the molar concentration of NiO on the optical properties of its thin films. Thin
layers of nickel oxide were fabricated from precursor solutions of concentrations 0.10, 0.20, 0.30, and 0.40 mole/L.
The thin films were deposited onto glass substrates at 723K using a homemade heater. The X-ray diffractograms
obtained show that the thin layers of NiO are polycrystalline and exhibit the first five peaks [(111), (200), (220),
(311), (222), and (400)] of this phase. The optical transmission of the NiO thin films was measured for different
concentrations. As shown, the films have good optical transparency in the visible range, but the film with the
concentration of 0.10 mol/L has a high transmission for lower frequencies (ν <750THz) around 76% and exhibits a
sharp cut-off ultraviolet at about 923 THz. The optical energy gap decreases from 3.78 eV for the thin layers of
NiO with a concentration of 0.10 mole/L down to 3.46 eV for the concentration of 0.40 mole/L. However, the
Urbach disorder energy had clearly increased from 273.6 meV for the thin layers of NiO with a concentration of
0.10 mole/L to 328.1 meV for the concentration 0.40 mole/L.

Abstract.
Semiconductors are materials with an electrical resistivity (ρ) intermediate between that of insulators and that of
metals. These materials are characterized by a full valence band (VB) and an empty conduction band (CB)
separated by a forbidden band (which tends to 1V).
Processes for the production of metal oxides are very useful in industry, in particular that of transition metals.
Wherein, in an electrolysis device equipped with a cathode and an anode. Either the metal ions, which are dissolved
in an organic electrolyte, are electrochemically reduced in the presence of an oxidizing agent at the cathode, or
metals whose oxide is to be produced on the surface by anodic oxidation.
Transition metal oxides are among the materials used as electrode materials. Among them, the oxides of tetravalent
and divalent metals (example: TiO2, Co (II) and Cu) have received particular attention due to their high specific
capacity, their low cost, their natural abundance and their low impact on the environment. In order to maximize
their capacities and their electrochemical performances, one was interested in the modification of the structure of
this material to lead to very powerful electrical and electrochemical properties. Indeed, this study aims to improve
the electrochemical performance of metal oxides by formulating new electrode materials. As well as the study of
the effect of the tension imposed on the nature and the quality of the metal oxide obtained. Morphological analysis
gave the possibility of obtaining such uniform metal oxide deposits.

Abstract.
The aim of the study is to investigate the influence of rolling processing at room temperature for up to 85% in
thickness reduction, on the microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion behaviour of the Al2024 alloy. As
important observations, a fast strengthening with fine-grain structure was developed after rolling processing. The
α–Al matrix and intermetallic compound S-Al2CuMg were identified in the as-received alloy, while the θ-Al2Cu
phase precipitated after 85 % of cold rolling. The microhardness increases from the as-received state (133 Hv) to
reach a value of 193 Hv after rolling to 85% of thickness reduction. The electrochemical test results demonstrated
that cold rolling improves considerably the corrosion behaviour of the Al2024 alloy comparing with the as-received
alloy.

Abstract.
High-strength aluminum alloys are promising materials for automotive structural parts since they offer a great
potential to reduce vehicle weight and greenhouse gas emissions. For this reason, 7000-series aluminum alloys
recently became the object of various investigations. However, one major drawback of these alloys is their poor
corrosion behavior, which is a crucial aspect and currently limits their application in the automotive industry. In
this work, Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB), a severe plastic deformation process for the industrial production of
ultra-fine grained (UFG) was used to fabricate a laminated composite Al1050/Al7075/Al1050 at 300 °C up to 2
cycles. The aim is to produce a sheet that has good mechanical properties from the Al7075 sheet, and good
corrosion resistance from the Al1050 sheet. Optical Microscope (OM) results showed that good bonding was
acquired between Al1050 and Al7075 sheets, and no cracks were observed. X-ray Line Profile Analysis
(XRDLPA) on the (RD-TD) plan showed that the dislocation density increased and the crystallite size decreased
gradually after 2 ARB cycles due to grains refinement. This was confirmed by the microhardness results (Hv). The
electrochemical corrosion tests (potentiodynamic polarization) have been carried out in an aggressive environment
(3.5% NaCl) with a pH=5.6. The polarisation potentiodynamic (PDP) results showed that the corrosion resistance
of Al1050/Al7075/Al1050 up to 2 cycle ARB is better than Al7075. Indeed, Raman spectroscopy was used to
investigate the corrosion product of Al1050/Al7075/Al1050 after electrochemical tests.

Abstract.
The need for improved coatings for better corrosion resistance, allowed the development of composite electrolytic
deposits, by incorporating solid particles into the structure of Zinc, Based on this, ZnO is chosen as recess particles
to improve corrosion behaviors. The object of our work is the elaboration and the electrochemical, morphological
and structural characterization of zinc-ZnO composite deposits, on a mild steel E 24 substrate. These deposits are
obtained from a sulfated electrodeposition bath. In a first step, we studied the electrochemical behavior of the bare
substrate in a 3.5% NaCl medium, then the zinc coatings were deposited potentiostatically by applying a corrosion
potential (-0.6) constant for 900 s. The second part focuses on the study of the morphological and electrochemical
characterizations of the coatings obtained on steel by corrosion tests in a sodium chloride solution. The surface
morphology of the coatings was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and those of electrochemical
impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization measurements (Tafel). Our results obtained are
considerably encouraging for the protection of mild steel against corrosion by Zn. The deposited alloy coatings
were compact.

Abstract.
Corrosion resistance of Ni–Co alloy and NiCo- Al2O3 nanocomposite coatings electrodeposited in a modified
Watts bath using by electrolytic deposition technique was evaluated by potentiodynamic polarization measurements
in the 3.5% NaCl solution and studied as a function of concentration particles in the bath. The structure, surface
morphology, composition and corrosion resistance properties of the nanocomposite deposits have been
characterised by using various techniques. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) of the electrodeposited NiCo–Al2O3
nanocomposite shows that it is fcc crystalline. Scanning electron micrography (SEM) reveals smaller grains and
uniform distribution of the alumina oxide in the alloy matrix. The corrosion resistance of the electrodeposited
nanocomposite evaluated by electrochemical Tafel polarization studie showed that the NiCo–Al2O3
nanocomposite is more corrosion resistant than the Ni–Co alloy deposit. The finer grain and uniform distribution of
the alumina oxide in alloy matrix favour the enhanced corrosion resistance of the nanocomposite. Among
thestudied coatings, NiCo–Al2O3 nanocomposite coatings containing 21.42 wt% nano-particles exhibited the best
corrosion resistance.

Abstract.
Many metals and alloys suffer from pitting corrosion in different atmospheric condition. The use of protective
coatings for improved mechanical and physical-chemical properties of metals and alloys is now an urgent task of
industry. Electroplated binary Zn-Co coatings, exhibit improved properties, higher corrosion resistance and better
surface morphology, compared to pure Zn coatings. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of Cr2O3
nanoparticles contents on structural properties, microhardness and corrosion resistance of Zn-Co alloy coating and
Zn-Co-Cr2O3 composite coatings is electrodeposited on steel substrate in the acid sulfate bath, The smaller grain
size of the composite coatings is observed in the presence of Cr2O3 and it is confirmed by the images of scanning
electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The corrosion performance of coating in the
3.5% NaCl as a corrosive solution is investigated by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance
spectroscopy EIS methods. It is found that the incorporation of nanoparticules in Zn-Co alloy coating have better
corrosion resistance and the values of Rct and Zw increase, while the values of Cdl decrease with the increasing of
nanoparticules. Potentiodynamic polarization scans and EIS measurements showed that the increase in the Cr2O3
deposition in a Zn-Co alloy changes the coating protection process from a sacrificial coating to a protective one
because Cr2O3 have inferior diffusion barrier properties. It revealed up to five times higher corrosion resistance of
Cr2O3-rich alloy, at the thickness of 1000 Å, as compared to that of the conventionally used Zn-Co alloy of the
same thickness. Zn-Co-Cr2O3 alloy can be considered as good diffusion barriers for steel diffusion.

60 steel is used in many industries, including domestic applications, automotive industry, equipment assembly, and
chemical manufacturing, due to their outstanding characteristics and low cost . Nevertheless, in acidic
environments, corrosion of steel is a major problem . This is a particular problem in the oil industry, where X60
steel alloys are used in pipelines . The aim of this work is to study the inhibition performance of Plectranthus
amboinicus leaf extract (EFPA), X60 steel in acidic medium (1 M HCl).EFPAis obtained by extraction using
soxhlet and methanol as solvent. The study was conducted by the weight loss (ML) method. Characterization of the
inhibitor was done by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-visible and phytochemical screening.
The maximum inhibitory efficiency was 99.87% at 0.02 ppm EFPA, obtained after 24 hours of immersion. The
influence of temperature on the inhibitory efficiency of EFPA at 0.02 ppm was studied by the weight loss method
at temperatures 25, 35, 45 and 55°C. We can therefore conclude that EFPA is a good ecological corrosion inhibitor
of X60 in 1M HCl.

Abstract.
The mild steel A9M is used in construction and industry, because of its mechanical properties. Most mild steels are
susceptible to corrosion in different aggressive environments. In this work we investigated the inhibitory effect of
Borage Officinalis Flower Extract (BOE) on the corrosion of A9M mild steel in 1M H2SO4, using the gravimetric
(weight loss) method at concentrations 2.10-1, 4.10-1, 6.10-1 and 8.10-1 v/v. This plant is cultivated for medicinal
and culinary purposes because of its richness in Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) [1-2] . The flowers of borage
officinale come from the eastern Algerian coast (EL TARF). EFBO was obtained by decoction and then extraction
by Soxhlet in the presence of ethanol as solvent. The characterization of EFBO was done by FTIR and UV-visible
spectroscopic analysis as well as by phytochemical screening. The effect of temperature was studied at 15, 25, 35,
45 and 55°C. The surface condition of A9M steel before and after inhibition was characterised by SEM-EDX and
AFM. Increasing the concentration of EFBO increases the inhibition efficiency to 90% at 8.10-1 v/v EFBO after 24
h of immersion at 55°C. SEM and AFM micrographs confirm the presence of the inhibitor film on the surface of
the test steel In conclusion, borago officinalis flower extract is a good corrosion inhibitor of A9M in 1M H2SO4.

Abstract.
In this work, we investigated the inhibitory power of Plectranthus amboinicus (P.a) leaf extract and P.a
biosynthesised ZnO nanoparticles (P.a-NPs ZnO) against the corrosion of A9M steel in 1M HCl. The study was
carried out by the Weight Loss (WL) method. The characterizations of both inhibitors were done by Fourier

were identified by phytochemical screening. Microscopic analyses of the surface condition of the test steel were
obtained by scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM-EDS). The maximum inhibitory
efficiencies obtained by P.a and P.a-NPs ZnO are respectively 99% at 0.04 ppm and 50% at 0.15 ppm, after 24h of
immersion time at 25°C. SEM micrographs confirm the presence of an inhibitor film. In conclusion, we can
conclude that the extract of Plectranthus amboinicus leaves is an eco-friendly inhibitor of A9M in 1M HCl.

Abstract.
Corrosion is a major problem faced by industrials. Many studies have been conducted to find a sustainable solution
to mitigate the problem of corrosion [1]. Iron-chromium-nickel alloys are specifically designed for components that
require increased mechanical strength and corrosion resistance [2, 3]. Among the various stainless steel series
available, the 300 series is used in the petroleum, petrochemical, biomedical and other industries. [4]. The aim of
this work is to study the inhibitory effect of Nigella Sativa Cake Extract (NSCE) on the corrosion of 316L stainless
steel in 1M HCl, using the mass loss method, at concentrations 2.10-2, 4.10-2, 6.10-2, 8.10-2 and 2.10-1 v/v.
Nigella Sativa Cake, obtained after cold extraction of its oil, purchased from Istanbul (Turkey). NSCE was
obtained by maceration in 1M HCl. The characterization of NSCE was done by FTIR and UV-visible spectroscopic
analysis and phytochemical screening. The effect of temperature was studied at 15, 25, 35, 45 and 55°C. The
surface state of 316L steel before and after inhibition was characterised by SEM-EDX and AFM. Then, both
density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) were further adopted to investigate the interaction
between BCCE molecules and ss-316L surface. Increasing the concentration of NSCE increases the inhibition
efficiency to 86% at 4.10-2 v/v NSCE after 24 h immersion at 35°C. SEM and AFM micrographs confirm the
presence of the inhibitor film on the surface of the 316L steel. Computational approaches based on DFT and MD
were performed to confirm the experimental results and verify the reactivity of the inhibitor molecules in terms of
the charge-transfer ability and adsorption energy of Thymoquinone as principal constituent. In conclusion, the
extract of Nigella Sativa Cake is a good corrosion inhibitor of 316L in 1M HCl.

Abstract.
Corrosion is a natural phenomenon, resulting from a chemical or electrochemical reaction. It occurs through the
physical-chemical interaction of the metal and its environment, resulting in the degradation of the material and its
properties. In the literature, several other works have been carried out on the use of different plant parts with their
extracts as green inhibitors against corrosion. These include the following: Opuntia ficus-indica [1, 2]; American
Agave [3, 4]; Solanum xanthocarpum [5]; Garlic Extract [6]. On the other hand, the valorisation of plant waste has
been the subject of several studies such as: residual tea extract [7]; potato peels [8, 9]; Prunus dulcis peel extracts
[10]; pectin isolated from tomato peel waste [11]; Chinese gooseberry shell extract [12]. In this work, the use of
Black Cumin Cake (BCC), obtained after the cold extraction of its oil, as a corrosion inhibitor for A9M steel in
acidic medium. The Black Cumin Cake Extract (BCCE) was obtained by maceration of the BCC for 24 h in 1N
HCl. Several analytical methods were used, such as Weight Loss (WL), Potentiodynamic Polarisation (PPD), and
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). Characterisation of the inhibitor was carried out by Fourier
Transform Infrared (FTIR) and UV-visible. To identify the main phytochemicals of the extract, phytochemical
screening was performed. Surface characterisations were carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and
atomic force microscopy (AFM). The WL results show that increasing the concentration increases the inhibitory
efficiency up to 90% at 4.10-2 v/v BCCE, after 24 hours of immersion. The maximum inhibitory efficiencies
obtained by PPD, SIE and RPL, are 94.63%, 82.26% and 87.52% respectively at 4.10-2 v/v BCCE. The latter acts
as a mixed inhibitor. Microscopic observations by SEM and AFM confirm the results obtained.

Keywords: Corrosion; Inhibitor; Black Cumin Cake; A9M steel; HCl.

Abstract.
The study of devitrification was performed on the ternary glass composition 65 Sb2O3 -20PbCl2-15AgCl by the
Mehl-Johnson-Avrami-Kolmogorov model. The two major factors of the kinetics of devitrification are determined.
The index of Avrami “n” shows the mechanism of the crystallization (nucleation and growth) and the activation
energies “Ea” indicates the strength of the glass to the crystallization which is nearly 129.116kj/mol. Therefore, the
glass takes place in the constant thermally glasses. The morphology of the crystals and the interfaces has been
studied by the SEM.

Keywords: devitrification, antimony oxide, activation energy, Avrami index.

Abstract.
This work aims to study the effect of heat treatment on the micrographic and mechanical properties of a joint
welded by TIG aluminum 1050A.
For the characterization of the samples, we used different experimental techniques such as optical microscope,
XRD, Vickers microhardness and EBSD.
This study allowed us to follow the evolution of the crystallographic microstructure of the welded joint on these
three zones: MB; ZAT and ZF. The analyzes showed that a coarsening of the grains and new orientations in the
crystallographic planes (hkl) are observed while keeping the same component and the same CFC structure.
The microhardness measurements showed an improvement in the mechanical properties of the areas of the welded
joint essentially the heat affected zone and the z one fondu.

Keywords: Aluminum 1050, TIG, Microstructure, Heat treatment, EBSD.

Abstract.
Cobalt- Indium oxide was deposited on highly cleaned glass substrates using spray pneumatic technique. The effect
of Indium percentage on structural, optical and electrical properties has been studied. The crystalline size of the
deposited thin films was calculated using Debye-Scherer formula and found in the range between 24,938 and
53,296 nm. The optical properties have been discussed in this work. Band gap energy is considered one of the most
important optical parameter, therefore measured and f6ound ranging between (Eg1) 1,066-1,352 eV and (Eg2)
1,743-1,900 eV. The Co3O4:In thin film reduces the light transmittance for visible range light. The increase of the
electrical conductivity to maximum value of 2,249.10-5(Ω cm)-1 for 3% In can be explained by the increase in
carrier concentration of the films. A good electrical conductivity of the Co3O4:In thin film is obtained due to the
electrically low sheet resistance. Co3O4:In can be applied in different electronic and optoelectronic applications
due to its high band gap, high transparency and good electrical conductivity.

Keywords: TMO, Co3O4 thin films, In doping, spray pneumatic method.

Abstract.
The effect of ageing at 300 °C before and after quenched at two temperatures of 180 and 280 °C on the Al 2017
alloy was studied. The structural properties were investigated using X-ray diffraction; the microstructural evolution
was investigated using scanning electron microscopy and microhardness measurement for the mechanical
properties. After various states of ageing, the Al–Cu–Fe alloy shows significant changes in the microstructure and
mechanical behavior. After ageing, the microstructure of the matrix consisted of a three solid solution of α– Al–
Cu–Fe, β– AlFe and θ –Al2Cu phases precipitations. After two-step heat treatment (quenching and ageing), the
alloy reveals the formation of β and θ phases precipitates. After ageing at 300 °C of original sample, the alloy
reveals higher β precipitates, corresponding to the minimum value of microhardness, the volume fraction of this
precipitates becomes higher. On the other hand, the TTT curves for the dicontinuous and continuous precipitation
reaction in this alloy have been suggested.

Abstract.
Steel is a metal alloy consisting mainly of iron and carbon. It differs from cast iron and ferroalloys by its carbon
content between 0.02% and 2% by mass. It is this carbon content that gives steel its properties.
This work examines the differences between the hardness of the X70 steel taken from the transmission pipes
before and after the heat treatment of samples measured by the Vickers hardness (HV) test method , where we
obtained satisfactory results in this study.
After studying the results , we found that steel X70 is more homogeneous and less hardened after the heat
treatment process.

Keywords: X70 steel, Vickers hardness (HV), heat treatment.
