Abstract: Nowadays, the use and utilization of natural fibers material continue to grow and highly demanded in the industrial world. There are various types of fiber plant thrive in Indonesia, such as kenaf (Hibiscus canabinus), blady grass (Imperata cylindrical), and Purun Tikus (Eleocharis dulcis). The existence of Purun Tikus still not used optimally. This study aims to determine the characteristics, the accurate composition of the mixed materials and the impact of Purun Tikus particle as materials for cement board. The results showed all Purun Tikus particle with a composition of 50 g + PPC 575 g, 75g + PPC 550 g and 100 g + PPC 525 g has met the requirements of SNI 03-2104-1991 on water content, density, thickness swelling, MoE. Not all the Purun Tikus particle meets the MoR in SNI 03-2104-1996 requirement...........

Abstract: The potential of solid tannery waste as filler in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) was studied by examination of mechanical properties, morphology and thermal properties of the composites produced. The Composites were prepared by two roll melt mixing and compression moulding technique for varying fiber contents from 0% to 60%. The parameters tested were tensile, impact and hardness in accordance with ASTM specification. The morphology and thermal properties of the matrix and composites were studied by scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The results of stress-strain behaviour of the composite was similar to those of thermoplastic polymer...............

Abstract: Mn (II) complex of the Schiff base (L), 3-(2-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene) hydrazinyl) quinoxalin-2(1H)-one (VHQO) was prepared and characterized by IR, UV-VIS, Mass, Elemental analysis, TG-DTA, magnetic susceptibility and conductivity measurements. VHQO behaved as monobasic, tridentate ligand and formed 1:2 complex (ML2) with the metal ion (M) coordinating through ring nitrogen, azomethine nitrogen and phenolic oxygen. Thermal analysis of the complex indicated the absence of lattice and coordinated water. Based on the spectral and analytical data, octahedral geometry was assigned to the complex...............

Abstract: This work fits in the framework of a program of study and monitoring of the Impact of natural and anthropogenic Factors on the quality of surface waters of the river Oum Er-Rabia (Morocco); it focuses on the analysis and evaluation of the metal contamination of the sediments of this stream using an index of contamination (IC) and the index of polymetallic contamination (ICP). The spatial and temporal variations of the sediment content in Fe, Mn, Cd, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cr and Co reveal the presence of an important metal contamination, dominated mostly by Pb, Cd, Cr, Zn and Co however at the level of the mouth where the metal concentrations are very low. From this fact situation does not pose a concern for the ecosystem in the vicinity of the downstream of the estuary, this finding is related can be the size and the fraction of the mouthpiece sediments

Abstract: Rice straw is find out as agricultural waste material labundantly in india. It is also used in paper industry due to it abundantly available in rice-producing countries. Activated carbon of rice straw (ACRS) was used to remove Cr(VI) from waste water. The Batch process were used to evaluate the effect activated carbon of rice straw for Cr(VI) removal from aqueous solutions. The adsorption studies on pH effect, contact time, adsorbent dose were examined...........

Abstract: The title mononuclear nickel and zinc complexes, Ni(C11H9N4S3)2andZn(C11H9N4S3)2.2(C3H7NO), were prepared by the reaction of Nickel(II) or Zinc(II)acetate with 1,5-bis[(2-thiophenyl)methylidene]thiocarbonohydrazide in a methanol solution. It features mono-deprotonated bis-bidentate ligands, which coordinate to metal (II) ions byhydrazylN and thiocarbonylS atoms, yielding a tetracoordinated metal ions complexes. In Ni(II) complex the geometry around the metal ion is described as square planar. In the Zn(II) the metal atom shows severely tetrahedral distortion from anideal square-planar coordination geometry, as reflected by thedihedral angle between ZnN2and ZnS2 planes of 73.03(13)°.Two intramolecularhydrogen bonds are observed between the solvate dmf molecules and the coordinated ligands:N2—H2N…O1iand N6—H6N…O2ii in this complex.
