Grinding (solvent-free) method was used as a superior technique to prepare mesoporous photocatalysts of ZnO, ZnS, ZnO / ZnS, CdO, CdS and CdO / CdS-SBA-15. In this technique, the nitrate, acetate and chloride salts of zinc and/or cadmium were grinded with as-synthesized SBA-15 as a mesoporous material. The controllable sulfurationis was used to prepare ZnS, ZnO/ZnS, CdS and CdO/CdS-SBA-15 a...

The pozzolans of the Moroccan Middle Atlas are derived from a low explosive volcanism, mostly strombolian. They mainly composed olivine and pyroxene, presenting less homogeneous structure (irregular vesicles). main target this project is to study use natural (NP) metakaolin as precursors for production geopolymeric binders. characterization raw materials elaborated geopolymers was carried out t...
