    (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.

    Optimization of energy valorization from lignocellulosic biomass and their pure woody pseudo-components using a green technology
    (Oum-El-Bouaghi University, 2021) Boukaous, N.; Abdelouahed, L.; Chikhi, M.; Taouk, B.; Meniai, Abdeslam-Hassen; Kebabi, Brahim
    Optimization of air-gasification technology of the lignocellulosic biomass Cistus monspeliensis (CM) and the pure woody pseudo components (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) was realized by amplifying experiments in a semi-batch reactor. For each single sample, the effect of the both temperature (750-900°C) and air fraction in nitrogen (0%-48%) on the gasification performance including gas product yield and gas chemical composition were discussed in depth. The results indicated that the increase of gasification temperature and air fraction was found to increase the production of gas during the gasification process of biomass, cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin. CO, CO2, H2 and CH4 are main components of the gas phase. 4% of air was found to be the optimal fraction in the gasification of CM and this value was applied in the gasification of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. The gas composition with the highest CO production was obtained from cellulose (48%-51%) at 0% air, while lignin produced more hydrogen and less CH4 than others.

    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.
