Application d’un biotraitement membranaire à l’abattement de la teneur en micropolluants d’une eau usée synthétique
Jean de Dieu Zongo, Yacouba Sanou
Les effluents des stations d'épuration contiennent des polluants organiques, inorganiques et microbiens, représentant une source majeure de contamination des eaux et des sols. Ce travail vise à étudier le biotraitement des eaux usées en vue d’éliminer le bisphénol A (BPA), la demande chimique en oxygène (DCO), l’ammonium (NH4+) et les ortho-ph(...)

Characterization of Local Clay from Burkina Faso for the Removal of Lead from Groundwater
Arzouma Christophe Guissou, Dimanche Regie Ouedraogo, Brahima Sorgho*, Yacouba Soutra
The contamination of water resources by trace metals (TMs), particularly lead
(Pb2+), is a significant public health and environmental concern, especially in
areas where access to modern treatment technologies is limited. The adsorbent
material used is KOM clay, collected from Kombissiri, near Ouagadougou, in
Burkina Faso, and characte(...)

Synthesis and Spectrometric Study of New Iron Phthalocyanine Polymers: Influence of Peripheral COOH and CN Groups on Vibrational and Electronic Properties
Lassané Tarpaga, Aristide W G Nitiema, Seydou Ouédraogo, Bertrand Ouemega, Bintou Sessouma, Mabinty Bayo-Bangoura, Karifa Bayo
We have prepared and isolated in solid form two types of polymers formed between iron (II) complexes ([FePc(COOH)8] and [FePc(CN)8]) and two bidentate ligands [trans-1,2-bis (4-pyridyl) ethylene (bpe); trans-1,2-bis (4-pyridyl) ethane (bpa)]. The electronic and vibrational absorption spectra of these complexes are discussed in comparison with(...)

Ouagadougou SUMO traffic scenarios for urban mobility.
Emile NANA, Ferdinand Tonguim GUINKO
In our work, we are attempting to predict urban traffic congestion in order to address issues related to urban mobility. We believe that congestion situations have upstream causes that significantly impact urban traffic flow. Thus, to resolve the problem of traffic congestion, there are intermediate steps that allow us to understand the traffi(...)

Temporal and spatial variability in photosynthetic activity of Vitellaria paradoxa in agroforestry parklands of Burkina Faso
Flavien G. B. Sawadogo, Hugues R. Bazié, Paulin Bazié, Martin Karlson, Madelene Oswald and Jules Bayala
The Vitellaria paradoxa is a key woody species in sub-Saharan Africa, supporting the livelihood of over 18.4 million people—particularly women. However, its survival and productivity are increasingly threatened by climate change, characterized by raising temperatures and reduced water availability. The species’ future resilience will depend on(...)

Impact of land use and biophysical factors on natural populations of Senegalia macrostachya in Burkina Faso, West Africa
Hassane Ouédraogo, Anne Mette Lykke, Blaise Kabré, Benjamin Lankoandé , Amadé Ouédraogo
Senegalia macrostachya is a valuable shrub increasingly threatened in West Africa. The study aims to assess the impact of land use and biophysical factors on its population structure and diversity across Sudanian and Sudano-Sahelian climate zones in Burkina Faso. A total of 201 plots were sampled in three land use categories: farmlands, fallow(...)

Optimization of a Building's Indoor Temperature and Sensitive Air Conditioning Loads Using the BLT Parpaing Hollow Double Wall
Daouda Sawadogo , Benjamin Kiéma and Ousmane Coulibaly
In hot, dry tropical climates (sahelian), such as Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), high demand for air conditioning in buildings poses a major energy challenge. This study aims to optimize the indoor temperature and sensible air conditioning loads of a typical three-bedroom F3 building with cavity walls, using a double-wall system combining lightwe(...)

Exploitation minière industrielle à Perkoa au Burkina Faso : Perturbations écologiques et mécanismes d’adaptation des ménages
Cleofa Pascal BASSONO et Alexis Clotaire BASSOLE
"Le processus d’implantation de la mine de zinc dans la localité de Perkoa a engendré des perturbations sur les ressources en eau et les ressources forestières, ainsi que des pollutions dues à l’usage de produits chimiques et au fort trafic routier. Cet article analyse la dynamique d’adaptation des ménages face à ces pertu(...)

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health challenge, with transmission
influenced by the incidence of contagious people with TB, the duration of infectivity, and the
probability of contact with susceptible individuals. This review synthesizes recent evidence
on established and emerging risk factors influencing TB transmiss(...)

Genetic diversity and relationships among sweet grain sorghum genotypes across agroclimatic zones revealed by SNP markers
Wendmanegda Hermann TONDÉ, Salif BERTHÉ, Patrice BALMA, Jacques OUÉDRAOGO, Tégawendé Odette BONKOUNGOU, Nerbéwendé SAWADOGO
Sweet grain sorghum is exploited in Burkina Faso through the consumption of fresh grains early at the doughy stage. To identify, valorise and conserve the genetic diversity of this agricultural resource, SNPs markers are essential tools. The aim of the present study is to assess the genetic diversity of sweet grain sorghum expressed in a linea(...)

Impact of organic and mineral fertilizers on the growth and biomass production of amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L.) in Burkina Faso
Sidnoma Marie Emeline Vanessa Sompougdou, Hugues Roméo Bazié, Philippe Bayen, Caroline Bassono
Amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L.) is one of the most leafy vegetables widely consumed in Burkina Faso. However, inappropriate input and unsuitable doses constitute a constraint to the optimal productivity of amaranth. This study aims to evaluate the effect of four organic fertilizers and two mineral fertilizers on the agromorphological perform(...)

Economic and Sustainability Assessment of Compressed Earth Bricks in Construction: Evidence from Burkina Faso
Bernard GOUBA
Earth, an abundant and ancient material, has been used in construction for millennia. It allows for the creation of diverse dwellings, ranging from simple houses to monumental buildings. However, despite its numerous advantages, earthen construction, particularly through Compressed Earth Blocks (CEBs), is less common than imported materials. T(...)

Groundwater, a vital resource for drinking water supply, must be managed sustainably to ensure its availability and quality. In France, the SISE-Eaux database on water intended for human consumption, archived by the Regional Health Agencies (ARS) since 1990, constitutes a rich source of information. This study focused on the groundwater of the(...)
