By the electronic microscopie with scanning coupled with a spectrometer dispersive of energy, elements such as Na, K, Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu, and Mn were characterized. The results showed that all the alkaline ashes have a content brought up in mineral elements notably there K (Gossypium hirsutum - 526500 ppm), Ca (Vitellaria paradoxa - 597700 ppm), and Mg (Vitellaria paradoxa - 153600 ppm).

The activated carbons were characterized and used as adsorbent for the removal of benzene from aqueous solution. The effects of various parameters such as particle size, adsorbent dosage and initial benzene concentration on the adsorption efficiency of the activated carbons were investigated. Benzene adsorption decreased with increase in particle size of activated carbon, decrease was minimal with activated carbon produced from bamboo. Benzene adsorption increased with increase in adsorbent dosage. Increase in initial benzene concentration resulted in increased adsorption using activated carbon from coconut and palm kernel shells; a decrease in adsorption using activated carbon from bamboo.<#LINE#> @ @ Rajoriya R.K., Prasad B., Mishra I.M. and Wasewar K.L., Adsorption of Benzaldehyde on Granular Activated carbon: Kinetics, Equilibrium and Thermodynamics, Chem.

The printed fabrics were subjected to microwave irradiation for different periods of time at a power ranging between400– 800 W. Another series of samples were subjected to microwave irradiation at different temperatures 50 – 150oC. The colour strength of the microwave-assisted printed fabrics was compared with that of cotton fabric printed with the same paste, dried and subjected to fixation according to the conventional technique (steaming at 102oC for 15min or thermo fixation for 5 min at 150oC). The obtained results clarified that, the colour strength of the printed fabrics increases as a function of the same microwave power and the exposure time. It was also found that the most effective factor in fixation of the colour from the microwave-assisted printed fabric is the heat energy. Generally speaking, microwave-assisted printed samples acquired K/S similar or higher than that obtained by the conventional thermo fixation technique.<#LINE#> @ @ Chinta S.K. and S.

These are eco-friendly reactions. Novel green synthesis of 2-(5-substituted)-2,4-dithiobiureto-4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-triazines (Va-e) was successfully carried out by interacting 2,4-dichloro-6-substitutedthiocarbamido-1,3,5-triazines (IIIa-e) with various isothiocynates in 1:1 molar ratio in ethanol-acetone medium. Firstly cyanuryl chloride (I) was treated with various thiourea (IIa-e) in 1:1 molar ratio in ethanol-acetone medium for the isolation of (IIIa-e). During the synthesis two parameters of green chemistry are maintained. The justification and identification of the structure of these newly synthesized compounds had been established on the basis of chemical characteristics, elemental analysis and through spectral data.<#LINE#> @ @ Letska E.V., Turner N.W., Anthony P.F., Turner and Piletsky S.A., J.

Both oils contain 31% of saturated fatty acids, mainly palmitic acid. Cp oil is highly monounsaturated (58.08%) whereas Ll oil has a high content in polyunsaturated fatty acids (52.46%). Ll oil is rich in tocopherols (3.61 mg/100g) while the Cp oil exhibits higher tocotrienol contents (5.63 mg/100g). A higher total sterol content was found for Ll (100,13 0,04 mg/g) than for Cp (29,43 0,01 mg/100g). A high content of lanosterol was observed for Cp (28.03 % w/w). Both studied vegetable oils showed very different chemical profiles. Ll oil exhibited interesting potential nutritional value. The high contents in polyunsaturated essentials fatty acids, tocopherols and phystosterols, could properly respond to nutritional deficiencies. However, Cp oil may serve as cosmetic additive given to its content in tocotrienol and lanosterol.<#LINE#> @ @ Konfo C., Ahoussi-Dahouenon E., Sessou P., Yehouenou B., Djenontin S., de Souza C., Sohounhloue D.Stabilization of Local Drink "Tchakpalo" produced in Benin by addition of Essential Oil Extracted from Fresh leaves of Cymbopogon citrates, ISCA Int.

Highest extraction of chlorophylls (Ch-a and Ch-b) is noted for DEE (except chlorophyll b in Adiantum sp.). Whereas maximum extraction of caroteniods is performed by acetone in Adiantum sp., and for Crystiella sp. and Drypteris sp DMSO execute best extraction of carotenoids.

The effects of EDTA, DTPA and NTA application on solubility of copper(Cu), lead(Pb), cadmium(Cd) and chromium(Cr) in soil was evaluated. In shacking experiment, maximum Cu, Pb, Cd and Cr were solubilized by DTPA extractant. It was found that with increasing chelating agent doses metals availability was increased and 5.0 mM doses of EDTA, DTPA and NTA was noticed the best optimum dose for further experiments. For shacking time significant results were achieved at 120 hours by applying EDTA and NTA where as DTPA behaved well at 24 hours. In incubation experiments more Cu and Cd was extracted by DTPA 6.65 and 6.67 ppm respectively. EDTA was proved good extracting solution for Pb which has solubilized maximum concentration of Pb (22.816 ppm). Maximum concentration of Cr (1.335 ppm) was solubilized by NTA as compared to EDTA and DTPA. For incubation experiment day 20-30 were more suitable for solubilzation of metals. Chelats has potential for the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils either as on-site soil washing agents or for in situ remediation. These findings could be used to develop a predictive tool for the target metals contaminants and for assessing chelation remediation efficiency based on chelates dose and contact time test results. <#LINE#> @ @ RomoKroger C.M., Morales J.R., Dinator M.I., Llona F. and Eaton L.C., Journal ofAtmospheric Environment, 28, 705 (1994) @No $ @ @ Aragay G., Pons J., Merkoc- i, A., Chemical Reviews, 111, 3433–3458 (2011) @No $ @ @ Raskin R.D., Smith and Salt D.E., Journal of Current Opinion in Biotechnology, , 221 (1997) @No $ @ @ Garbisu C., Hernandez-Allica J., Barrutia O., Alkorta I. and Becerril J.M., Phytoremediation: a technology using green plants to remove contaminants from polluted areas, Rev Environ Heal,17, 173–188 (2001) @No $ @ @ Salt D.E., Prince R.C., Pickering I.J. and Raskin I., Mechanisms of cadmium mobility and accumulation in Indian mustard, Journal of Plant Physiology, 109, 1427-1433 (1995b) @No $ @ @ Norwell W.A., Comparison of chelating agents as extractants for metals in of heavy metal contaminated soil with Indian mustard and associated potential leaching risk, Agr.

Experiments were carried out as a function of liquid flow rate (1 – 3 ml min-1), initial feed of Cd (II) concentration (0.25 – 1 mg dm-3) and bed depth (0.25 – 1 cm). The results showed that a flow rate of 1 ml min-1, inlet Cd (II) concentration of 1 mg dm-3 and a bed depth of 1 cm were most feasible. The total adsorbed quantities, equilibrium uptakes and total removal percents of Cd (II) related to the effluent volumes were determined by evaluating the breakthrough curves obtained at different flow rates, inlet Cd (II) concentration and bed depth respectively. The bed depth service time (BDST), Thomas, Yoon-Nelson, Bohart-Adams and Wolborska kinetic models were used to analyze the experimental data and the model parameters were evaluated. The experimental data correlated well with calculated data using Yoon-Nelson equation. <#LINE#> @ @ Hutton M. and Symon C., Quantities of cadmium, lead, mercury and arsenic entering the environment from human activities, Sci.

This method is based on diazo coupling reaction where nitrite reacts with 4-aminophenylacetic acid under acidic condition to form diazonium ion which is subsequently coupled with resorcinol to form a stable orange coloured azo-dye. The max for the azo dye is found to be 455 nm. The optimum reaction conditions and various analytical parameters have been studied. At analytical wavelength of 455 nm the Lambert-Beer’s law obeys over the concentration range 0.1-2.4 µg/ml of nitrite. The correlation coefficient, molar absorptivity and Sandell’s sensitivity of the method were found to be 0.9986, 2.27×10 lit.mol-1cm-1 and 2.03×10-3 µg cm-2 respectively. The percentage recovery was found to range from 91.16% -101.4% indicating the suitability of the method for the determination of nitrite in water. The purposed study was compared with others Griess modifications and found to be suitable one. The interference of foreign ions was also examined. <#LINE#> @ @ Hill M.J., Nitrates and Nitrites in Food and Water,st ed., Wood Head Publishing Limited, England (1996) @No $ @ @ Angela Cross, Kenneth P.
