Article Synopsis
  • Lignin was extracted from sugar beet pulp in Morocco and characterized using FTIR and TG/DTA analysis.
  • The lignin was utilized to improve the detection of lead (II) ions through a carbon paste electrode (CPE) using techniques like cyclic and square-wave voltammetry.
  • The developed sensor achieved a minimum detection limit of 2.252 x 10^-6 M for lead (II) and effectively analyzed tap water samples for this heavy metal.

Since the epidemic of COVID-19 was declared in Wuhan, Hubei Province of China, and other parts of the world, several studies have been carried out over several regions to observe the development of the epidemic, to predict its duration, and to estimate its final size, using complex models such as the SEIR model or the simpler ones such as the SIR model. These studies showed that the SIR model is much more efficient than the SEIR model; therefore, we are applying this model in the Kingdom of Morocco since the appearance of the first case on 2 March 2020, with the objective of predicting the final size of the epidemic.
