In recent years, all countries in the world are very interested in the effects of pollutants affecting human health, the living environment in general and especially pollution of water sources and oceans on the earth's surface. The cause of this pollution is largely due to human use of chemicals and fuels from many different sources, especially oil. The exploitation and transportation of crude oil are increasing according to the common development of humanity. Since people discovered and exploited oil, the oil spill at sea began to appear. Since ancient times, oil spills on the sea have been a threat to the marine environment in general, coastal ecosystems in particular and damage to economic activities. It is the concern of all humanity. Every year, we still have to witness many accidents from tankers making millions of tons of oil spilled into the sea, causing great consequences for the natural resources and environment on the earth. In order to overcome the oil spills on the sea, people have also found a way to deal with them, and many processing methods were created to overcome the above problems such as mechanical methods, chemical methods, biological methods. The application of scientific and technological advances in information technology and biotechnology have been creating breakthroughs in forecasting and controlling oil spills at sea. The paper focuses on an overview of pollution problems from ships, especially oil pollution from tankers and the consequences of oil pollution on the marine environment. Moreover, the authors learn and evaluate some specific advanced technology solutions to prevent oil pollution from ships, effective feasible solutions that need to be applied in practice.

Polyhydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV, P) and natural latex (L) are mixed together to improve biostructures due to very stiff PHBV and high resilient natural latex. Another raw material added in PHBV/L mixtures is a vegetable oil which is vary between virgin coconut oil (VC) and cooking coconut oil (CC). Then, the three mixtures are known for P-L-C biocomposites. These three different components among PHBV, natural latex, and the coconut oil are considered to obtain their proper mechanical properties. The 2% and 3% (w/v) of PHBV concentrations (2P, 3P) in chloroform are started as the main component, and mixed to natural latex (L) and coconut oil (VC or CC) as the blended films in the ratio of 12:8:1, 10:10:1, 8:12:1, and compared to 6:4:1, 5:5:1, 4:6:1, respectively. The blends are specified the thermal property by the differential scanning calorimetry and also distinguished with their crystallinity. Besides, they are also characterized the tensile strength by universal testing machine. The degree of crystallinity is inversely proportional to the melting temperature particularly for 3Px-Lx-C1. The 3% w/v of PHBV-Latex-Coconut oil blends presents higher melting temperature than the 2% w/v of PHBV-Latex-Coconut oil mixtures. Adding coconut oil mixes show a lower melting temperature at 166-167oC when is compared to the mixture without coconut oil at 168-169oC. The virgin coconut oil mixes specify no inconsistency of the melting temperature, enthalpy, and degree of crystallinity. The addition of the coconut oil can diminish the 50% of tensile strength and the 6-7% of tensile modulus. The cooking coconut oil added in the 2% w/v PHBV-Latex matrix affects a 10% increase in tensile modulus related to the 3% w/v PHBV-Latex matrix. The appearance of the coconut oil in the blend is suitable for conformity of plastic deformation.

Toxic gases include NOX, CO, HC and Smoke which are harmful to the atmosphere as well as to the human beings. The main aim of this work is to fabricate system, where the level of intensity of toxic gases is controlled through chemical reaction to more agreeable level. This system acts itself as an exhaust system; hence there is no needs to fit separate the silencer. The whole assembly is fitted in the exhaust pipe from engine. In this work, catalytic converter with copper oxide as a catalyst, by replacing noble catalysts such as platinum, palladium and rhodium is fabricated and fitted in the engine exhaust. With and without catalytic converter, the experimentations are carried out at different loads such as 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of maximum rated load. From the experimental results it is found that the maximum reduction is 32%,61% and 21% for HC, Nox and CO respectively at 100% of maximum rated load when compared to that of without catalytic converter. This catalytic converter system is cash effective and more economical than the existing catalytic converter.

A fundamental understanding of the mechanism of material interaction with a medium is based on correspondence between experimental studies and actual operating conditions of a given model or a structure. We estimated performance of thermal shield structures based on computations brought about considering physical properties of materials obtained under conditions simulating re-entry of a spacecraft into the atmosphere.A thermal shield is considered of a layered type shell, made of fiber glass with phenol-phormaldehide matrix. Both elastic and thermo-physical characteristics are varied depending on the temperature change.A thermal-stressed state of a cylindrical shield subjected to action of a high-temperature gas flow, is defined based on solving a 3D problem simultaneously using equations of theory of elasticity, thermal conductivity, and numerical analysis. Results are given as dependencies of stress distributions through the thermal coating, taking into account such parameters of atmosphere in re-entry as temperature, heating rate, pressure of a gaseous medium.

Heating swimming pools in an efficient and ecological way has become mandatory for the protection of the environment, but also for technological development and energy saving. The heating must maintain the quality of bathing water, avoiding temperature variations between the different depths and locations of the pool. There are currently several types of heating systems for swimming pool water among which we can mention; heat pumps, gas heating and electrical resistance, etc. All of these systems are very expensive and voracious in energy consumption. However, solar thermal heaters can be a good solution because they are inexpensive and environmentally friendly. The purpose of this work is to use the COMSOL MultiPhysics software to model the distribution of the flow field velocity and the temperature distribution according to the design of the pool and the inflow and outflow of water and climatic conditions in the province of Nador, in northeastern Morocco.

In the present work, the deactivation by sintering of cobalt-based catalyst during Fischer-Tropsch synthesis at low temperature was studied by numerical simulation. For this purpose, a mathematical model was developed. The obtained simulation results allowed us to highlight and improve the understanding of the deactivation phenomena of cobalt-based Fischer-Tropsch catalysts by sintering. The main results also show that the sintering phenomenon is strongly dependent on the operating conditions, in particular, the temperature, the pressure, and the H2/CO molar ratio, as well as the reaction by-products such as water. The results obtained can, therefore, be used to understand more the sintering mechanism which may be linked to the change in the concentration of the active sites and the reaction rates.
