The Effect Of Washing On Stabilized And Unstabilized Low-Density Polyethylene Films Naturally Weathered In A Sub-Saharan Region (Ghardaia, Algeria, Souad Behissa, Salem Fouad Chabira, Nourelhouda Benmiloud, Mohamed Sebaa
The Effect Of Washing On Stabilized And Unstabilized Low-Density Polyethylene Films Naturally Weathered In A Sub-Saharan Region (Ghardaia, Algeria, Souad Behissa, Salem Fouad Chabira, Nourelhouda Benmiloud, Mohamed Sebaa
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
The effect of washing stabilized and unstabilized blown extruded films of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) used for greenhouse coverings naturally weathered in a sub-Saharan facility at Ghardaia (Algeria) for 19 and 6 months, respectively, was studied. A comparison between unwashed and daily washed samples was done. The changes in the films' properties were followed at regular intervals using various characterization methods (physicochemical and mechanical). Although in both cases the chemical species formed due to the weathering were qualitatively the same, they essentially differed in their concentrations, namely they were higher for the washed samples than for the unwashed ones. Inversely, the …

A granulated type of commercial activated carbon (GAC) with surface area of 828 m$^{2}$/g was treated with a strong solution of sulfuric acid (98% wt.) at a temperature of 30 $^{\circ}$C . The physicochemical and porous properties and the surface chemistry of the sorbents were investigated and compared in detail. It was established that the lower temperatures of impregnation and the higher concentration of H$_{2}$SO$_{4}$ solution resulted in the introduction of higher percentages of sulfur-containing groups and smaller porosity loss. The results of EDS, FTIR, and XPS tests confirmed the introduction of sulfone groups and acidic oxygenated ones, which increased …

Stem cells are known as undifferentiated cells that are capable of divisions and self-renewal over an extended period. Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) are known to differentiate into many different organ and tissue cells. The purpose of this study was to characterize adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells in detail based on the expression status of certain surface markers and differentiation stages for clinical and laboratory applications. The migrating phase and mitotic property of the cells from adipose tissue were assessed under a microscope. Cell counting was performed during the first, second, and third passages. The cells were differentiated into …
