Reaction mechanism of thermal decomposition of Phosphogypsum.

Phosphogypsum (PG) is a co-product of the phosphoric acid industry. To reduce the environmental impact and land occupation caused by PG disposal, researchers are trying to integrate it into building materials, agriculture, etc. Herein, PG decomposition with carbon monoxide (CO) was studied with i) thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), ii) induction heated fluidized bed reactor (IHFBR), and iii) thermodynamically using FactSage.

Phytochemical Analysis, Cytotoxic, Antioxidant, and Antibacterial Activities of Lichens.

Background: Lichens present a complex symbiotic relationship between a filamentous fungus, photoautotrophic partner (algae or cyanobacteria), and bacterial community. . This study aimed at investigating the chemical composition and cytotoxic, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities of acetone extracts of Moroccan (), and .

Phytochemistry, Antioxidant Activity, Antiproliferative Effect, and Acute Toxicity Testing of Two Moroccan Species.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: () and () have been largely used in Moroccan folk medicine. The objective of the study was to investigate the phytochemical composition, the antioxidant activity, the antiproliferative effect, and the acute toxicity of the methanolic extract of and roots.

Materials And Methods: Phytochemical composition of the methanolic extract of and roots were studied using qualitative and quantitative methods, the antioxidant activity was evaluated using DPPH assay, the antiproliferative effects against human cancer cell lines (T-24, HT-29, and Hep G-2) was assessed using WST1 assay, and the acute toxicity was carried out orally by gavage of single dose 2000 mg/kg to mice for 14 days.

Antioxidant and Antiproliferative Activities of Bioactive Compounds Contained in Used in the Mediterranean Diet.

Background: is a medicinal plant called rosemary, largely used in the Mediterranean diet for many decades ago.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the polyphenolic content, the antioxidant activity, and the antiproliferative effect against human prostate cancer cell lines (LNCaP) of carnosol and carnosic acid as bioactive compounds contained in growing in Morocco.

Materials And Methods: Polyphenolic content of ethanolic extract was studied using colorimetric assay.
