    Abstract: Natural gas is a promising elective source of methane (CH4) due to its accessibility and renewability. However, unfortunately, a high rate of carbon dioxide (CO2) and very little hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is found in this CH4 source. These compounds must be removed to get natural gas of satisfactory quality. One of the most modern common strategies of... Show More

    Abstract: The compounds (E)–2–amino–N'–(1–(2–hydroxyphenyl)ethylidene)–2–oxoacetohydrazide (I) and (E)–N'–(2–hydroxy–3–methoxybenzylidene)–2–amino–2–oxoacetohydrazide (II) were synthetized by the 1:1 ratio condensation reaction of oxamic hydrazide and 2–hydroxyacetophenone or o–vanillin respectively. The two compounds were characterized by physico–chemical a... Show More

    Abstract: Seeing that banana peel or banana skin composed 35% to 40% of banana fruit and also seeing that kaki were widely cultivated at Madagascar since the XIXth century with non-negligible quantities of valorisable waste during their collection; a study of their valorization as raw materials to synthesize glues was undertaken in this manuscript. Synthesiz... Show More

    Abstract: Phytoremediation involves the use of some aquatic plants for soil and water cleanup. It involves the use of hyperaccumulator plant species that remove metals from contaminated environment. In the present study, the effectiveness of Algae, Water hyacinth and Water lettuce for the removal of Cd, Fe, and Cr from simulated wastewater was tested. The th... Show More
