In phosphate-producing countries (United States, Commonwealth of Independent States, North and West Africa including Senegal), the presence of phosphate ores (hydroxyapatite) is often associated with that of fluorine ores (fluoro apatite). In these regions, water from confined aquifers may have excessive fluoride contents. While the potability standards in tropical climates are 0.7 mg/L at a temperature of 25°C In the central zone of Senegal, hyperfluorinated brackish water constitutes a public health problem. It is in this context that it was decided to make our contribution to the purification of drinking water in this area. In our study, we used as an element in the physicochemical defluorination process. The results obtained, by this physicochemical treatment by filtration on the zircon column, showed overall a reduction in fluoride contents of 67.55% (i.e. from 6.41 mg/L to 2.08 mg/L) in chlorides of 10.44%. We can therefore affirm that zircon can be used for the defluorination of hyperfluorinated brackish waters. However, these results can be improved by lowering the pH of the water before treatment and increasing the retention time.

Java Script programs for calculation dihedral angles from NMR data with manifold equations of 3-Sphere approach: rectangle, Villarceau circles of cyclide (Torus – Dupin Cyclide), polar equations, Euler-Conic. Manifolds are curves or surface in higher dimension used for calculation of dihedral angles under wave character of NMR data, carbon and/or proton chemical shift δXn[ppm] and vicinal coupling constant 3JHnHn+1[Hz]. 3-Sphere approach for calculation of the dihedral angles from NMR data in four steps: 1. Prediction, or more exactly calculation of the dihedral angles from vicinal coupling constant with trigonometric equations, 2. Calculation of the dihedral angles from manifold equations; 3. Building units from angle calculated with one of the manifold equations; 4. Calculation the vicinal coupling constant of the manifold dihedral angle. In this paper are presented Java Script programs of step 2 and from step 3 only the Java Script program for calculation of seven sets angles. The bond distances lCnCn+1[A0] between two atoms of carbon are under different polar equations (i.e. limaçons or cardioid, rose or lemniscale), our expectation was to find different manifold equations for calculation the best angle, differences are smaller but can be find sometimes a preferred one for a vicinal coupling constant. 3-Sphere approach has the advantages of calculation from vicinal angle or/and chemical shift the dihedral angle, tetrahedral angle and the bond distance lCnCn+1[A0], with application on conformational and configurational analysis.

Rich in water (88 to 95%), organic matter (6 to 14%) and mineral matter (1.5 to 4%), the olive mill wastewater or liquid effluent from the olive processing industry represents a certain fertilizer source. Four treatments (Control, 50, 100 and 200 m3 ha-1 of OMWW) with an annual spreading of fresh OMWW, are applied to evaluate the effects of direct spreading of this by-product on the soil and the plant. From the first application, the level of organic matter changed significantly compared to the control soil without OMWW. In fact, three months after spreading, the respective levels of this substance increased from 0.42% in the control plot, to 0.91%, 1.02% and 1.47% respectively, for the spreading doses of 50, 100 or 200 m3 ha-1. After several years, these same rates are only 0.84%, 0.91% and 0.95% for the respective doses of 50, 100 and 200 m3 ha-1, indicating an intense activity of mineralization of organic matter under the effect of the soil microflora whose number has increased. The improvement in mineral status consequently improved the growth of olive groves with application doses of 50 and 100 m3 ha-1. A decline in olive production was recorded with the dose 200 m3 ha-1, which could be explained by the inhibitory effect probably resulting from a slight toxic action of polyphenols accumulated in the soil. Finally, it should be noted that the results of this research led to the development of Decree No. 1308/2013 of February 26, 2013, authorizing the spreading of 50 m3 ha 1 of fresh vegetable water.

The phytochemical investigation of a previously unstudied species of the genus Apocynaceae, Baissea mortehanii de Wild was undertaken and eight known secondary metabolites were isolated from leaves of this plant including one alkaloid, N-Feruloyltryptamine (1); one aromatic ester, Dibutyl phthalate (2); two flavonoids, Genistein (3) and Gerontoisoflavone A (4), four sterols, β-Sitosterol (5), Sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (6), Stigmasterol (7) and Stigmasterol-3-O-β-D glucopyranoside (8). The structures of compounds were determined by means of spectroscopic methods :NMR analysis (1H and13C NMR, 1H-1H-COSY, HSQC, HMBC), spectrometric methods such as UV, IR, ESI-MS, EI, and by comparing their data with those reported in the literature. All the isolated compounds were tested for their potential to inhibit the enzyme urease. Urease activity was determined by measuring ammonia production using the indophenol method and thiourea was used as standard inhibitor of urease. Compounds 5 and 7 showed the best urease inhibition with an IC50 value 17. 2 and 18.5 µM respectively, which is higher than that of the potent inhibitor, thiourea (IC50 = 21.5 µM); Compounds 3, 4, 6 and 8 showed a good urease inhibition with an IC50 value 26.9, 29.7, 32.8 and 34.3 µM respectively; Compounds 1 and 2 showed a moderate urease inhibition with an IC50 value 49.1 and 46.8 µM respectively.
