Here we propose to investigate Ni-functionalized saponite (smectite group) as a viable alternative for low cost H2 storage for land-based applications. The precursor gel used for saponite synthesis is also tested with respect to its H2 adsorption properties. Adsorption isotherms recorded at 77 K and 1 bar, 298 K and 120 bar indicate that nickel fun...

The research aims to show the ability to convert the Fused Deposition Modeling 3D printer to be compatible with the clay mixture after modifying the structure, setting up Cura software, and changing the print head technology. This solution provides research teams and scientists with opportunities in several ways (manufacture patch antenna substrate...

Field surveys were conducted in which six samples of clay were collected and characterized. The results of the mineralogical analysis, carried out by X-ray diffractometry on total powder and on the clay powder reveal the presence of kaolinite, illite and chlorite clay minerals, with the clay color predominantly reddish. The non-clay minerals identi...
Le but de ce travail de thèse est d’étudier et de rationaliser, à l’aide de mécanismes réactionnels, le comportement sous irradiation de différents matériaux argileux. Les systèmes d’intérêt ont d’abord été le talc synthétique, qui est le prototype d’un matériau non gonflant. Sous irradiation par des électrons accélérés, la production de dihydrogèn...

Pharmaceutical residues presence in the environment is among nowadays top emergent environmental issues. For removal of such pollutants, adsorption is a generally efficient process that can be complementary to conventional treatment. Research of cheap, widely available adsorbents may make this process economically attractive. The aim of the present...
African Red Slip (ARS) ware (sigillata africana) from three archaeological sites in northern (Oudhna, Sidi Khalifa) and central Tunisia (Henchir el Guellel) was studied by X-ray fluorescence and statistical treatment of chemical data in order to define homogeneous reference groups. The specimens from Henchir el Guellel are clearly different from th...
peer reviewed / This study aims at evaluating the potential suitability of Tetouan and Meknes (central Morocco) clay material as raw materials in various ceramic applications by investigating their textural, chemical, thermal and firing characteristics. Textural properties were identified by specific surface area, cation exchange capacity (CEC) and...
