Monitoring techniques must therefore be more precise and more sensitive. One of the effective methods available is the development of sensitive electrochemical sensors, dedicated to the analysis of pollutants in aqueous solution. The carbon paste electrode (CPE) in this study was modified with Moringa Oleifera seed powder, a flocculant-adsorbent used to treat water. This chemically modified electrode presented improved electrochemical reactivity in cyclic votammetry towards the redox marker Ferri / Ferrocyanide compared to the bare carbon paste electrode. The 10 % modifier presented the most interest during the analysis. The Modified electrode was used to detect mercury (II) in anodic stripping voltammetry. The detection current of mercury (II) is seven times that of carbon paste electrode (CPE). The calibration curve is linear in the range from 0.002 μmol/L to 0.009 μmol/L (0.4 μg/L to 1.8 μg/L) with a detection limit of 0.4 ηmol/L (i.e.0.08 μg/L). This new technique can be used for routine monitoring of real aqueous matrices.","PeriodicalId":9803,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139615428","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}

However there is a need for more information on the quality and history of the dairy products found on the local markets in order to guide necessary reformations in this sector. The objective of this study was to provide data on the quality and processing practices of dairy products, including some locally manufactured dairy products and imported powder milk commercialised in Burkina Faso. Specifically, a survey was carried out first, to identify the locally manufactured dairy products as well as the manufacturing practices, particularly the malpractices not yet reported in the literature. Then, locally manufactured dairy products (excluding the traditionally fermented milk lait caillé and pasteurised milk), imported powder milk from brands frequently used for processing milk products and fraudulent practices identified during the survey were evaluated through laboratory analyses. Physico-chemical parameters such as pH, acidity and moisture content were determined. In addition microbiological parameters such as aerobic mesophilic flora, yeast and mold, thermotolerant coliforms or enterobactria, were also determined.  \u0000Results from the survey showed that good manufacturing practices were not strictly observed. In addition it was reported use of salt and a popular street medicine “toupaϊ” (supposedly an antibiotic) for delaying the spoilage/fermentation of the raw milk. Six types of locally manufactured milk products were identified while seven brands of powder milk were frequently used, after repackaging, for processing milk products. Most samples of locally manufactured products were unsatisfactory for fungal and thermotolerant coliforms loads. Powder milk samples showed absence of enterobacteria. Sensory analyses showed that locally manufactured products from powder milk were more appreciated than those made from raw milk. Attempts to reproduce the malpractices of using salt or “toupaϊ” did not lead to significant results compared to the control, suggesting that some respondents did not fully open up about the malpractices. These data are useful since they would give tools to policy makers for quality control and regulation in the sector of dairy products.","PeriodicalId":9803,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139384079","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 growing concerns around welding and its attendant health effects are valid as welding fumes are inherently hazardous and are composed of particulate matter from condensed metals and obnoxious gases such as Ozone which have been implicated in the aetiology and pathophysiology of many diseases including cancer. Information currently available from various published study works is described in the review. In accordance with the bibliometric analysis, \"The United States\" ranks as the most prolific contributor, with a large collection of works from active organizations such as the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Additionally, author cooperation has increased recently and is more common in groups. Three hot themes in welding-related hazards and health effects—\"human,\" \"age,\" and \"occupational exposure\"—were identified across all keyword analyses. Furthermore, oxidative stress, occupational diseases, risk management, cohort studies, and air pollutants in welding were identified as new themes by the keywords analysis. To the extent that we are aware, this study is the first explicit bibliometric approach to visualize the research field of health and hazard impacts related to welding. It is helpful for locating hotspots in active research now and for speculating on prospective future research areas.","PeriodicalId":9803,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139148186","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 aim of this manuscript is to assess the overall impact of agricultural activities on groundwater quality in the polders (Bol and Bagassola), in order to gain a better understanding of agricultural pollution. To achieve this objective, a water sampling campaign was carried out to study hydrodynamics and hydrochemistry. As a result of this study, piezometric levels are not sufficiently heterogeneous. The pH is around neutral with an average of 7.68, and water temperatures vary between 25.3°C and 32.5°C. Conductivities ranged from 334µS/cm to 9800µS/cm, exceeding the maximum WHO/Chad standards limit of 2500µS/cm. Most of the variables (chemical parameters) are below the drinking water quality limits defined by WHO/Chad standards, with the exception of the open wells (P1, P2) at Malkoura, which show very high concentrations of potassium, sulfate, sodium, chloride, ammonium and magnesium, and the high iron signature observed in boreholes F9 and F12 at Talia. These variables (chemical parameters) enabled us to define the bicarbonate calcic and magnesian facies, followed by chloride sodium and potassium or sulfate sodium for the single F9 borehole at Malkoura. The predominance of bicarbonate facies can be explained by the dissolution of evaporites in the reservoir.","PeriodicalId":9803,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138960738","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}

TMMB was isolated from seeds of C. nitida by 72 hours maceration of the chopped seeds with dichloromethane. Filtered and concentrated extract was subjected to a combination of vacuum liquid, column and thin layer chromatographic techniques. The isolated compound was characterized using Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FT-IR) spectrophotometer, proton nuclear magnetic resonance (+H-NMR), C13 – NMR and DEPT-135 NMR spectrophotmeters. The results showed that the inhibition efficiency recorded by the weight loss method increased with the increase in TMMB concentration, but decreased with increasing temperature. The inhibition efficiencies recorded by the potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic methods also increased with increase in the concentration of TMMB. The calculated thermodynamic parameters showed that the corrosion inhibition process was endothermic and spontaneous in nature. Potentiodynamic polarization measurements confirmed that TMMB worked as a mixed – type inhibitor considering the value of Ecorrbeing less than 85 mV.  Impedance measurement revealed that the charge transfer resistance offered by TMMB to the migration of aggressive ions on the surface of mild steel in acidic solution was enough to impede corrosion. The best line of fit to the adsorption of TMMB onto mild steel surface was found in Temkin isotherm. Formation of protective dense film on the steel surface in the presence of TMMB compared to the blank was revealed by scanning electron microscopy. The molecular structure of TMMB was optimized using Gausian 09 with density functional theory [DFT/B3LYP/6-31G (d,p)]. Physical adsorption has been proposed for the adsorption of TMMB onto mild steel surface.","PeriodicalId":9803,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Science International Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139010407","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}
