Fish farms are an alternative to meet human needs for fish. However, these influenced by intense anthropogenic activities that can affect the quality of water, sediments, and This study aims determine concentrations heavy metals in water sediments order assess their transfer into farmed tilapia using bioconcentration bioaccumulation factors. The results revealed very high levels arsenic (0.050 ± 0.029 mg/L) cadmium (0.047 0.059 compared mercury (0.012 0.002 lead (0.007 0.001 mg/L). In most...
Abstract A new electrode based on carbon paste (CP) modified with natural clay was used for heavy metals detection. The investigation of the raw material (X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray thermal analysis and particle size distribution) revealed different morpho-structural properties material. electrochemical behaviour its ability to detect (Zn 2+ , Cd Cu ) studied by techniques like cyclic voltammetry (CV), impedance...
The utilization of clay minerals as electrode modifiers is based on their unique structure and properties. In this study, clays from various regions Côte d'Ivoire were characterized for potential use in developing electrochemical sensors. samples underwent analysis via X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) mapping analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), fluorescence (XRF). Results XRD, FTIR, SEM, XRF indicated...
The TiO2 deposition on high surface possessing supports can increase the photocatalytic efficiency of a semiconductor, as already shown in literature because, adsorption capacity support help to enrich organic substrate around catalyst promoting charge-transfer process between pollutants and photocatalysts. Consequently, this study, we investigated synthesis composite materials based different types carbon. Titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) was used precursor, while graphite, activated carbon...
Heavy metal pollution of surface waters from anthropogenic activities is constantly increasing. Monitoring techniques must therefore be more precise and sensitive. One the effective methods available development sensitive electrochemical sensors, dedicated to analysis pollutants in aqueous solution. The carbon paste electrode (CPE) this study was modified with Moringa Oleifera seed powder, a flocculant-adsorbent used treat water. This chemically presented improved reactivity cyclic...
Monomethylmercury (CH 3 Hg) is a neurotoxic pollutant that biomagnifies in aquatic food webs. In sediments, the production of CH Hg depends on bacterial activity mercury (Hg) methylating bacteria and amount bioavailable inorganic divalent (Hg II ). Biotic abiotic reduction to elemental 0 ) may limit pool available for methylation thus produced. Knowledge about transformation therefore primordial understanding toxic bioaccumulative Hg. Here, we examined by sulfidic minerals (FeS (s) CdS...
Boubo river and lagoon, south Cote d’Ivoire, are contaminated by manganese released in wastewater from exploitation the soil of Grand-Lahou region d’Ivoire.
