    Characterization Of The Sludge Of Batna (algeria) Waste Water Treatment Plant For Its Valorization
    (Oum-El-Bouaghi University, 2017) Boudraa, Issam; Bougherara, Hassina; Cheurfi, Wassila; Kebabi, Brahim
    The treated waste waters of the city of Batna (Algeria) hold for about half of the needs of the land farmers in water in this area. The treatment of these waters generates a sludge which is rich in nitrogenous and phosphorous compounds and in organic matters. The purpose of this study is the characterization of this sludge in order to use it as a fertilizer. The X-ray fluorescence analysis allowed detecting the following element in this sludge : Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, As, Se, Br, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Mo, Cd, Ba, Pb. The mass of the previous elements hold 38.52% of the dried sludge total mass. In this sludge, the X-ray diffraction analysis showed the existence of the following phases: (Mg0.03Ca0.97)CO3, SiO2, ZnO, Cu2O and BaPbO3. The trace metals which are present in Batna waste water treatment plant, and the content of which is limited, are the following: Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn. Their contents are 40 mg/Kg, 240 mg/Kg, 70 mg/Kg, 830 mg/Kg and 3890 mg/Kg, respectively. An extraction in aqueous solution was used for determining the amount of dissolved ions nitrate, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and pH. The results obtained are 530 mg/Kg, 850 mg/Kg and 7.28, respectively.

    Study Of Ions Exchanges During The Adsorption Of La3+ Ions Onto Montmorillonite K10
    (Oum-El-Bouaghi University, 2020) Zeoual, Somia; Kebabi, Brahim; Bougherara, Hassina
    The kinetic of adsorption of La3+ ions onto montmorillonite K10 was carried out at 25°C. The adsorption isotherm and the ion exchange with clay were studied to determine the adsorption mechanism. The effect of temperature on the maximum adsorption capacity has been measured. We have used X-ray diffractograms to establish a relationship between the structure of clay and the improvement of its adsorption capacity. The thermodynamic adsorption parameters (ΔG, ΔH and ΔS) were calculated from measurements of the quantities of La3+ ions adsorbed at different temperatures. These parameters were calculated between 11 and 110°C to understand the effect of temperature on the adsorption process.
