In this work bioactive compounds were obtained from Rosmarinus officinalis L. At first, the extractions of the essential oils by hydrodistillation was performed. The obtained essential oils from rosemary were yielded of about 1.8%. The GC-MS revealed that the rosemary oil was dominated by 1,8-cineol (52.440 %), Camphor (11.241 %), and α-pinene (8.225%). The extraction of the dry powders using maceration and soxhlet with solvents of different polarity showed a significant yield for ethanol compared to that of hexane. In the same context, the phytochemical screening revealed the richness of the studied plant with secondary metabolites. The antioxidant activity was assessed in vitro using scavenging activity of the free radical DPPH. It revealed that the essential oil and all ethanolic extracts tested using ascorbic acid as a reference, exhibit anti-radical activities. The ethanolic extract of Rosemary leaves showed the highest anti-radical activity (IC50 = 64.27µg/ml), followed by the extract of the latter's stems with an IC50 = 64.74µg/ml.

Conventional wastewater treatment methods generate a highly concentrated municipal sludge, which needs to be disposed of effectively without leading to secondary pollution. Animal manure and post generated manure wastewater are another environmental concern. Both of the above wastewater and sludge/manure are rich in organic/inorganic forms of carbon, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). Anthropogenic and industrial activities in the global biogeochemical cycles have resulted in a drastic one-way mobilization of these resources into the atmosphere and the environment. The current intensive agriculture requires huge quantities of nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) containing fertilizers. The industrial production of ammonia and nitrates is quite energy demanding; however, nitrogen is abundantly present in the nature and therefore it is a non-restricted resource for nitrogen derivate production. Unlike nitrogen, P can be obtained primarily from mineral deposits available only in few geographic locations. The phosphate rock reserves are finite and the current intensive fertilizer production based on economically mined rocks could last only another 50-100 years. Since phosphates are available only in limited geographic locations and the recognition that geologic phosphates are a non-renewable resource, Phosphorus recovery becomes a crucial for sustainable food production as EU depends for 90% on import of phosphate rocks (European Commission 2017). Within the EU only Finland has some phosphate rocks. The list of supplying countries is quite short; more than 70% of the present known global reserves of phosphate rock are located in Morocco as of all mined and processed phosphate rock (2009).  Phosphorus, being a finite resource with deficits starting approximately from the year 2070 due to increased demand might also result in high prices and reliance on single point sources, giving them monopoly over the market. The EU phosphorus flows show that the main losses of phosphorus in the food sector are through sewage sludge, other waste water and food waste. In general, phosphorus can be recycled, mainly from wastewater (e.g. sewage water), manure and organic waste (e.g. wasted food). Thus, wastewater can be considered as a renewable source of N and P. Instead of releasing the N and P rich wastewater into coastal and inland waters increasing eutrophication risk their utilization can be beneficial resulting in multiple benefits like nutrient recovery, water reclamation for reuse and maintenance of ecological balance in aquatic systems. Presently, the recovery and reuse of P is still far from being a main stream practice. Yet, the techniques already accepted and applied differ by the origin of the used matter (wastewater, sludge, ash) are mainly focused on the process of precipitation. One of these techniques is struvite precipitation, which can be implemen","PeriodicalId":18768,"journal":{"name":"Moroccan Journal of Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49180821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The phytochemical screening showed the presence of the studied chemical compounds (Flavonoids, Tannins, Quinones and Steroids) rich in powers of 500W and 350 W, especially in extracts with ethanol and acetone.

Experiments were done by evaluating carbon microparticles with various sizes (from 100 to 1000 um) for adsorbing curcumin (as a model of adsorbate) in an aqueous solution, and the results were derived and compared using the kinetics approach based on several standard isotherm adsorption models. Seven isotherm models were used to predict and determine the characteristic parameters: Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Flory-Huggins, Fowler–Guggenheim, and Hill-de Boer isotherm models. The results were then analyzed and accompanied by an adequate explanation related with the adsorption mechanisms and the determination techniques of its adsorption constants. The models showed that the interaction of adsorbates with carbon surface is done in multilayers with physical processes. Inorganic contents in the pumpkin seeds allow the formation of carbon with porosities, making more sites for the adsorption. The adsorbed molecules attract and associate with other free molecules. The adsorption is carried out on energetically different sites under an endothermic process. The Gibbs free energy confirmed that the adsorption is spontaneous. The results also confirmed that smaller adsorbent have direct impacts on the improving adsorption capacity (due to the existence of large surface area). Small-sized adsorbent (sizes < 500 um) has better additional adsorption (due to adsorbate-adsorbate interaction and possible existence of chemical interaction), resulting in the boosting adsorption capacity. This study is useful for further developments of carbon microparticles from organic waste material.","PeriodicalId":18768,"journal":{"name":"Moroccan Journal of Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46346967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The result obtained show that uniform and pitting corrosion of SR are strongly influenced by the nature of simulated CPS. In unpolluted CPS’s, only uniform corrosion of SR is observed in all cases. SR has excellent corrosion resistance in CPS4 compared to the other simulated CPS. In the polluted CPS’s by Cl - anions, we observe an accelerated uniform corrosion especially in CPS1, CPS3 and CPS4 mediums. The sensitivity to localized corrosion of SR varies from one simulated environment to another. It has the best resistance to pitting corrosion in polluted CPS3 medium. In CPS1 (pH = 13) and CPS2 (pH = 11.6) polluted by 3% NaCl, the tendency to pitting corrosion is the same. The localized attack is more pronounced in polluted CPS4 (pH=12.7). These results demonstrate that there are no limit values of the pH and the content of Cl - ions for the initiation of pitting and / or uniform corrosion. Therefore, it is the chemical composition of the simulated medium which imposes the pH value and the Cl - content for systematic corrosion study of the SR in the simulated CPS.","PeriodicalId":18768,"journal":{"name":"Moroccan Journal of Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43019030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
