    (Springer, 2019) Djouahra-Fahem, Djamila; Angar, Yassmina; Lamine Mohamed, Gana; Khoukhi, Faiza; Kebbouche-Gana, Salima
    The aim of the present work is the evaluation of effect of methanolic extract obtained from Daphne gnidium against biocorrosion caused by sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB). Herein, the study of the influence of SRB consortium has been realized on the biological and electrochemical properties of the carbon steel API5LX60 immersed in water sample obtained from an Algerian oil field separator. The monitoring of the treatment effects on the SRB performance using kits test and weight loss methods showed a positive effect of the methanolic extract of D. gnidium as a corrosion inhibitor at a concentration of 0.8 g/L. In the other hand, the weight loss test has generated an efficiency rate of 95.99% at a concentration of 1.6 g/L. A linear polarization resistance approved these results, and they have given a yield of 91.14% with a polarization resistance value of 28.9 kΩ cm2 at a concentration of 0.25 g/L.

    Electrocatalytic activity survey of some cathode materials for the reduction of nitrites and nitrates in aqueous solution
    (Publishing House of the Romanian Academy, 2020) Angar, Yassmina; Daoudi, Sofiane; Kebbouche-Gana, Salima; Djelali, Nacer-Eddine
    The electrochemical techniques are the subject of increasing interest on the environmental remediation methods thanks to their efficiency and their selectivity. It was classified among the cleanest methods because it does not produce sludge and undesirable intermediate byproducts. For these reasons, we have chosen this technology for the reduction of nitrites and nitrates ions from aqueous solutions. The objective of our study is the comparison of several cathodes materials performances, in order to promote an optimal electro-reduction of these ions. Indeed, we have used the copper, graphite, stainless steel and zinc as cathodes; among them, we have selected the most efficient on which we have optimized the operational conditions. The results suggested that the copper cathode was the most efficient for the reduction of both tested ions compared to the other tested materials. Therefore, the optimization of operational conditions allows us to fixed them at: scan rate=50 mV/s, initial effluent concentration=100 mg/L, pH=7 and potential range of the cyclic voltammetry scanning of [-1,+1]V/SCE for both ions. Under these optimal parameters, the reduction yield after 45min was important that can achieve 96.5% and 99% for nitrites and nitrates respectively

    Isolation of an extremely halophilic arhaeon Natrialba sp. C21 able to degrade aromatic compounds and to produce stable biosurfactant at high salinity
    (Springer, 2015) Khemili-Talbi, S.; Kebbouche-Gana, Salima; Akmoussi-Toumi, Siham; Angar, Yassmina; Gana, M.L
    Natrialba sp. strain C21 was isolated from oil contaminated saline water in Ain Salah (Algeria) and has exhibited a good potential for degrading phenol (3 % v/v), naphthalene (3 % v/v), and pyrene (3 % v/v) at high salinity with high growth, enzymatic activity and biosurfactant production. Successful metabolism of aromatic hydrocarbon compounds of the strain Natrialba sp. C21 appears to require the ortho-cleavage pathway. Indeed, assays of the key enzymes involved in the ring cleavage of catechol 1, 2-dioxygenase indicated that degradation of the phenol, naphthalene and pyrene by strain Natrialba sp. C21 was via the ortho-cleavage pathway. Cells grown on aromatic hydrocarbons displayed greater ortho-activities mainly towards catechol, while the meta-activity was very low. Besides, biosurfactants derived from the strain C21 were capable of effectively emulsifying both aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons and seem to be particularly promising since they have particular adaptations like the increased stability at high temperature and salinity conditions. This study clearly demonstrates for the first time that strain belonging to the genera Natrialba is able to grow at 25 % (w/v) NaCl, utilizing phenol, naphthalene, and pyrene as the sole carbon sources. The results suggest that the isolated halophilic archaeon could be a good candidate for the remediation process in extreme environments polluted by aromatic hydrocarbons. Moreover, the produced biosurfactant offers a multitude of interesting potential applications in various fields of biotechnology. © 2015 Springer Japan

    Kinetic and thermodynamic studies of the ammonium ions adsorption onto natural Algerian bentonite
    (Taylor & Francis, 2016) Angar, Yassmina; Djelali, Nacer-Eddine; Kebbouche-Gana, Salima
    Adsorption processes are the most recommended complementary techniques applied in the wastewater treatment owing to their low economic cost, recyclability, efficiency and low power consumption. Clays known for this treatment are aluminosilicate minerals which contain different exchangeable ions on their surfaces. In the structure of bentonite surface, several cations have the exchange ability such as calcium, sodium, magnesium and potassium. This propriety is responsible for the adsorption of several cationic water pollutants. In this study, natural bentonite particles of 80 μm in diameter were considered and kept stirring at 200 RPM in a contaminated solution with ammonium ions. The effect of contact time and temperature showed that at an optimal temperature of 30°C and during a short stirring time of 50 min, the removal efficiency could reach its maximum of 53.36%. The kinetic study of the ammonium adsorption reaction on natural bentonite allowed concluding that the reaction is obeyed to the first-order model. Determination of various thermodynamic parameters suggests that the reaction is spontaneous and exothermic

    Oxydation de l'azote ammoniacal par voie chimique, électrochimique et biologique : application au traitement des eaux usées
    (2016) Angar, Yassmina
    Les activités agricoles entraînent une émission excessive de l'azote ammoniacal dans l'environnement et peuvent profondément perturber l'équilibre des écosystèmes naturels conduisant à leur contamination à cause de l'extrême toxicité pour les espèces aquatiques, l'environnement et la santé humaine. Le traitement de cette pollution a été étudié par application de diverses techniques d'épuration. Dans ce contexte nous avons étudié trois méthodes performantes, rapides et ayant un cout économique faible. Dans la première partie, nous avons étudié l'adsorption de l'ammonium sur la bentonite modifiée par la soude encapsulée dans des billes d'alginate de calcium réticulées à l'aide d'un incubateur rotatif maintenu à une vitesse d'agitation et une température constantes. L'étude de l'effet des paramètres expérimentaux sur le processus d'adsorption a révélé que l'adsorbant a pu adsorber environ 97,91% de la concentration initiale de l'ammonium de 100 mg-NH4+/L à pH 7 et une température de 30 ° C. En outre, la modélisation des données expérimentales nous a permis de conclure que l'adsorption obéit à l'isotherme de Langmuir et Freundlich, la cinétique de la réaction est de 2nd ordre. La détermination des différents paramètres thermodynamiques indique que la réaction est spontanée et exothermique. Dans la deuxième partie de notre travail, nous avons étudié l'oxydation électrochimique directe de l'azote ammoniacal en solution aqueuse, en appliquant diverses techniques électrochimiques; voltamétrie cyclique (CV), voltamétrie de balayage linéaire (LSV) et chrono ampérométrie (CA). Les résultats suggèrent que l'électro-oxydation est importante en utilisant une anode de Pt par rapport à celle réalisée sur les autres électrodes testées. Les ions chlorures et le pH du milieu ont affecté le processus. L'électro-oxydation de l'ammonium dans un milieu acide et alcalin a montré une certaine efficacité et donne des rendements d'élimination appréciables respectivement de 73,77% et 86,45%, qui sont plus importants par rapport au rendement de l'électro-oxydation en milieu neutre qui a été de 55,59%. Cependant, des réactions indésirables liées à la valeur de pH peuvent avoir lieu conduisant à la contamination de la solution par formation et accumulation des nitrites qui sont des substances plus toxique que l'ammonium. En outre, la concentration initiale de l'ammonium et la valeur de potentiel appliqué ont affecté l'intensité du pic caractéristique de l'oxydation. Dans la dernière partie, nous avons étudié l'épuration biologique de l'ammonium. Pour cela, deux nouvelles souches du genre d 'Alcaligenes sp. S84S3 et de Proteus sp. S19 ont été isolées à partir de boues activées et appliquées dans le traitement de l'ammonium et du nitrite en solution aqueuse. Sous les conditions optimales de température (30°C), pH (7), substrat de carbone (2 g / l de glucose) et de la durée d'incubation (69 heures), la souche Alcaligenes sp. S84S3 a pu oxyder 65% de l'ammonium. En outre, après 48 heures d'incubation de la souche Proteus sp S19, le taux de réduction des nitrates était d'environ 99% sans production de l'intermédiaire du nitrite (en concentration négligeable). Sous les mêmes conditions opératoires, en fournissant l'aération dans la première phase de traitement, la co-culture des deux souches d'Alcaligenes sp S84S3 et de Proteus sp. S19 a pu éliminer 65,83% des ions d'ammonium pendant une courte période d'incubation (118 h), sans production d'aucune forme toxique d'azote. La coculture de nos isolats est supposé avoir un bon potentiel pour les réactions de nitrification et de dénitrification appliquées dans le traitement des eaux usées contenant de grandes concentrations des ions ammoniums, nitrites et nitrates
