The aging of this oil under two different conditions of conservation was the subject of our work. One of the results was an increase in the content of long-chain carbonaceous fatty acids during aging for 11 months of storage at low temperature (6℃) and at 30℃. This behavior does not find a concordant explanation by the comparative analysis of the chemical indices. Hence, there is the need to use the Medium Infra-Red spectroscopy (MIR) which allowed to clarify the information of the saponification index, to justify the weakness of the formation of peroxides in the case of the conservation at 30℃ and to confirm the information given by the peroxide index. It also allowed to understand the formation of the long carbon chains by the “cis-trans” isomerization and the homolytic cuts which intervene within the matrix of the fat by the analysis of the number of -CH<sub>2</sub> and -CH<sub>3</sub> groups in the two conditions of conservation. This study reveals that the rapid solidification of Irvingia gabonensis oil at room temperature[2] is an advantage for its preservation at room temperature but a great weakness when the fat is stored at low temperature.展开更多

The structure of the prepared LDHs was characterized by XRD, SEM, FTIR, TGA, BET surface area and pHzpc. The sorbent ability and sorption mechanisms were also investigated. The LDHs exhibit high removal for Cr（VI）, and the sorbed amount depends on the nature of interlayer anion, which decreased in the following order： NO3- 〉 Cl 〉 SO42-, Nitrate-containing LDH reached a Cr（VI） sorption equilibrium within only 30 min. The effects of operating conditions, including initial concentration, solution pH, agitation time and sorbent amount have been studied in batch mode. The optimum conditions were observed at an initial concen- tration of 100 mg. L- 1, pH = 6, agitation time of 60 min and a sorbent dose of 2 g.L- 1. The equilibrium data were fitted to the Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models. The Langmuir model was found to sufficiently describe the sorption process, offering a maximum sorption capacity of 71.91 mg-g 1. The sorp- tion kinetic follows pseudo-second-order reaction with high accuracy. Thermodynamic parameters suggested that the sorption process is spontaneous and endothermic in nature.展开更多
