Bi25FeO40/g-C3N4 composites were synthesized for dechlorination of 2-chlorophenol (2-CP). The characteristic of the obtained products was studied using the X-ray diffraction (XRD), (FESEM) scanning electron microscopy, UV-vis reflectance. The effects of g-C3N4 content, photocatalyst dosage, solution pH, H2O2 on the dechlorination efficiency were investigated, in addition to the reusability of the nanocomposites. The results showed that increasing content of Bi25FeO40 in nanocomposites, from 10 to 30 wt.%, greatly increased the dechlorination efficiency. Bi25FeO40/g-C3N4 20wt.% and initial pH below 6.0 was the optimal conditions for the catalytic dechlorination of 2-CP. About 94.5% of 2-CP were completely removed after 150 minutes reaction at initial pH value of 6.0. The composites were easily separated from the solution by an applied magnetic field. The removal efficiency of 2-CP slightly decreased to 90% when the catalyst was reused in 4 runs. Therefore, Bi25FeO40/g-C3N4 composites can be considered as a promising method for remediation of pollution by 2-CP.

In Bamako, the flow of household waste and its typology are little known. In order to set up a sustainable management system for the city's garbage, it is nevertheless important to know the quantities, natures and dimensions of the objects that make up the garbage. This study, which began in 2017, consisted of characterizing the garbage collected at the household level in Bamako using the MODECOM method modified to adapt it to the Malian context. The objective of this study was to propose a method intended to obtain solid results on the characteristics of household waste produced in Bamako in order to build adapted collection and recovery strategies. The results, obtained from a sample of 270 households in the 6 communes of Bamako and 3 neighborhoods of different socio-economic levels per commune, showed that the average ratio of household waste produced in Bamako is about 0.28 Kg per inhabitant per day. The category of fines is the most important, with an average daily production of 2.45 kg for a household with an average of 20.5 inhabitants. Putrescibles come in second place. Their production represents 41% of the average amount of garbage generated in a high standard household. It represents the main biodegradable category of garbage. Fines, which are mostly sand, charcoal and ash, accounted for 37 percent of the waste generated by households of the same type. The particle size sorting, which can help to choose suitable industrial sorting tools, shows that the fraction of medium-sized garbage is the most abundant. The data from the characterization of garbage would allow the development of all forms of garbage management strategies, especially for its collection and recovery.

Global climate is warming, and the effects of climate change are associated with many causes; among them are the Greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles and factories. The study of exposure to air pollution related to road traffic in Annaba’s region is based on the results of air analyses, which shows that air temperatures are frail, accompanied by a very high humidity due mainly to the presence of the sea and many bodies of water (Fetzara Lake). This can allow the accumulation of certain pollutants such as carbon monoxide and dust (contents of CO and dust exceed the WHO standards), while some pollutants are present in small to negligible quantities such as NO, NO2, and SO. The air quality of Annaba and its surroundings (El Bouni, Sidi Ammar) can be generally described as good. Nevertheless, the existence of strong pollution due to the dust is noted close to the industrial complexes specially El Hadjar.

Tomatoes are one of horticultural commodities which have many benefits for the community, including spices, fruits and vegetables. Tomato cultivation techniques using fruit shade and thinning can be done to overcome the constraints of the mismatch between the quality of products produced by farmers and the quality of products desired by community. Shade has a function to create environmental conditions in accordance with plant conditions, while fruit thinning has a function to maximize the results of photosynthesis so that it can improve the quality of tomatoes. This study aimed to determine the effect of shade and thinning on the result and quality of tomatoes. The study was conducted from January to May 2022 in the Malang, East Java. This research used a Completely Randomized Design with Nested Pattern which consisted of 12 treatments with 3 replications, so that from 36 units of combination treatment. The treatment used was a combination of the use of fruit shade (0,25 and 50%) and thinning intensity (0,3,4 and 5). The analysis of the data used was the F level test of 5%. If the 5% F test had a significant effect, then it was followed by a 5% HSD test. The results showed that the use of fruit shade and thinning significantly affectd the parameters of flower emergence, fruit weight per hectare, fruit weight per fruit, fruit volume, fruit diameter, and no significant effect on the parameters of total dissolved solids.

In Mali, with strong population growth, forest resources are under multiple pressures, the most important of which are agricultural clearing, land speculation and the consumption of wood and/or charcoal as energy fuel. Studies have shown that this is a major problem. According to the FAO (2020, p 21), its production from 2010 to 2018 increased from 137,907 to 379,124 tons against 79,221 Qm to 334,454 Qm between 2008-2017 (MEADD, 2018, pp 41 and 73). The objective aims to demonstrate the challenges of charcoal consumption as fuel in the Baco-Djicoroni district of the Bamako district in order to raise the awareness of decision-makers. The sampling involved 190 people (160 randomly selected households, 24 traders/wholesalers and 6 technical service agents). The methodology was based on the exploitation of documents, the field survey and the analysis and processing of data using Word, Excel and SPSS software. The analysis of the results records 12 charcoal sales depot sites in Baco-Djicoroni with a sales capacity of 7750 bags per week whose households of 10 to 14 people are the biggest consumers, us 89 bags per month. In a context of climate change and forest preservation, the development of a strategy is necessary and alternatives to charcoal remains the promotion of renewable and/or alternative energies.

The amino acid sequence from the phyA cDNA contained the consensus motifs, RHGXRXP and HD which are conserved among histidine acid phosphatases. The phytase cDNA was subcloned in pET28a(+) expression vector and expressed in E. coli. The expression of the gene was confirmed through SDS-PAGE analysis. A 52 kDa protein as per the calculated molecular mass of the translational product of phytase gene was observed in crude lysate of E. coli culture induced with IPTG. The protein was purified using nickel based His-bind resin column and checked on SDS-PAGE. The purified recombinant enzyme showed a single band of 52 kDa protein. The phytase activity of pET-phyA IPTG induced E. coli culture and purified phytase was 383.5 U/ml and 826.33 U/ml, respectively.
