    Olive Leaf Extract as a Potential Anti-Corrosion of Copper-Nickel in Natural Seawater
    (Springer Science and Business Media, 2025) Bourouis, Douniazed; Ghemmit-Doulache, Naima; Bounechache, Foudil; Trari, Mohamed
    This study investigates the phenolic composition of olive leaves from Skikda region (Northern Algeria), focusing on their therapeutic potential for diabetes and hypertension due to their high content of phenols, particularly oleuropein. The leaves were dried, micronized and characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy. The obtained powder was subjected to various extraction techniques, including microwave, Soxhlet, Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (USAE) and traditional maceration. The extracted compounds were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and Ultra-High Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) coupled with electrospray ionization-quadrature-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ESI-Q-TOF-MS). The presence of olivetol and two oleuropein isomers, highlighted the rich phenolic profile of the leaves. The study also examines the efficacy of olive leaf extract, particularly from traditional maceration, to prevent corrosion in the Cu-Ni alloy (90/10) seawater, one of the most corrosive environments. The results showed a high inhibitory efficiencies of 96.8% for the highest concentration (S1) by Tafel and 93% for the lower concentration (S3) by Electrochemical Impedence Spectroscopy (EIS). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDS) analyses confirmed that the surface of the treated alloy remains free of corrosion, unlike the untreated alloy, which shows significant deterioration with a black corrosion layer attributed to the cuprite Cu2O. The study focuses on the identification of olivetol in olive leaf extract and its remarkable properties, for potential and preventive applications against corrosion

    Influencing parameters on the electrodeposition of silver from the effluents of mirror industry
    (Sociedade Portuguesa de Electroquimica, 2022) Bounechache, Foudil; Ghemmit-Doulache, N.; Bourouis, D.
    Silver (Ag) is considered as an ancient and durable precious metal that is used in different ways, due to its specific properties. The diversity of its uses has been meeting a growing worldwide demand that exceeds the Ag amount extracted from earth crust (primary resource), where a large part of this metal has been exploited. Due to its toxicity, environmental pollution resulting from industrial plants, and high economic value, Ag recovery from industrial plants (second resource) has become increasingly important for scientists. In this study, we focused on Ag recovery from the effluents of mirror industry. This was done by Ag electrodeposition on an aluminum (Al) electrode surface. This work aimed to study the effect of current intensity (CI), electrolysis time (ET), voltage (V) and temperature (T) parameters on Ag electrodeposition, in order to optimize them. According to the obtained results, the optimal parameters were a CI of 4 A, during an ET of 30 min, at 12.5 V, with a maximum T of 30 ºC. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses showed a multilayer rich Ag deposit on the Al surface, followed by a cluster of flowers of different sizes originated from reduced Ag0

    Study of scale inhibitor SI-4497 effect on calcareous deposit
    (Desalination Publications, 2021) Ghemmit-Doulache, Naima; Bourouis, Douniazed; Bounechache, Foudil
    Calcareous deposits in water desalination generate serious problems and lead to considerable economic losses. The aim of this study is to investigate the inhibition of calcareous deposits using polyphosphonate (scale inhibitor SI-4497), which is an ideal additive for desalination operations. We studied the recovery rate of titanium electrode, in the presence and absence of this inhibitor, using chronoamperometry. A cathodic potential of –1.3 V/SCE (SCE – saturated calomel electrode) is used at 1,000 rpm and at 20°C, 40°C, 60°C, 80°C. Levich’s law is verified before and after 1 h of electrodeposition in presence of an inhibitor. It was found that electrode recovery decreases with the addition of 3.5 ppm polyphosphonate (scale inhibitor SI-4497), resulting in an efficiency of 63.65%
