This research reviews the application of nanoscale materials in the field of heavy metal sensing and detection. These materials, including zeolites, have unique and tunable properties with high microporosity, thermal stability, and ion exchange capacity. Specifically, we highlight the unique properties of the zeolite Na-P materials that enable their modification with graphite carbone to...

63. Investigation of the efficacy of two triazole derivatives as inhibitors of copper corrosion in NaCl solution: A Combined Quantitative Chemistry and Dynamic Molecular Simulation Approach

Corrosion of pure copper in a corrosive solution 3.5 wt% NaCl was tested using a novel inhibitor based on 2-hydroxy-5-((4-(hydroxymethyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)methyl) Benzaldehyde [STR] in comparison with Benzotriazole [BTA]. In the experimental study, electrochemical impedance and potentiodynamic polarization tests were performed on both inhibitor studies. The Increasing of inhibitor...

This report deals with the modification of the physical structure and chemical properties of a bentonite clay from the Hammam Boughrara region, in the Maghnia district of western Algeria, to maximize its adsorption capacity. Purified bentonite clay (called B) was modified either by acid activation with sulfuric acid (1M) (B-Act) or by intercalation with the cationic surfactant...

104. Room Temperature Crosslinked Self-Blowing Biobased poly(hydroxyurethane-co-hydroxythioether) Foam by Simultaneous Aminolysis and Decarboxylation Reaction

Oral presentation - in person

Polyurethane foams are certainly one of the most important materials used in a variety and daily applications, including comfort (matrasses) or energy savings (thermal insulation). Currently, intensive studies are in progress to develop more sustainable ways to produce these products to eliminate the use of toxic isocyanates. A few studies reported the preparation of non-isocyanate...

128. Synthesis of CuS nanomaterials by hydrothermal route: Examining physical properties and photocatalytic activity

Oral presentation - in person

CuS photocatalyst was elaborated by the facile hydrothermal route at 140 °C for various durations, from copper chloride (CuCl2) and thiourea (SC(NH2)2) aqueous solutions. Characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy-dispersive of X-ray system (EDX) analysis, showed...

42. Low-cost modified adsorbents derived from the solid residue of Rosmarinus officinalis L. for heavy metal uptake

In the context of this research endeavor, our primary objective is to assess the magnetic and magnetocaloric properties (referred to as MCE) of a perovskite material that has been enriched with lead (Pb), contrasting these properties with those of the pristine, undoped perovskite variant. Our inquiry is driven by the aim of exploring the viability of utilizing this material in the field of...
