    Les effluents industriels issus des activitĂ©s textiles prĂ©sentent une grande charge polluante difficilement biodĂ©gradable et qui a des impacts non nĂ©gligeables sur l’environnement et l’Homme. Leur dĂ©contamination par les procĂ©dĂ©s conventionnels biologiques ou physiques est souvent inefficace et nĂ©cessite par consĂ©quent le recours Ă  des procĂ©dĂ©s d’oxydation avancĂ©e dont l’électrocoagulation. Dans le prĂ©sent travail, nous avons Ă©tudiĂ© l’élimination par Ă©lectrocoagulation du bleu de mĂ©thylène, modèle de colorant synthĂ©tique textile, en utilisant des Ă©lectrodes de fer et d’aluminium. L’étude des paramètres pouvant influencer l’élimination par Ă©lectrocoagulation du bleu de mĂ©thylène tels que le pH, la durĂ©e de l’électrolyse, la densitĂ© de courant et la nature de l’anode a montrĂ© que les meilleurs traitements sont obtenus avec un effluent de pH Ă©gal Ă  7 pendant 4 heures d’électrolyse Ă  une densitĂ© de courant de 3,75 A/cm2 en utilisant l’électrode de fer. Dans ces conditions, le pourcentage d’élimination du bleu de mĂ©thylène dans les eaux atteint 80,1%. Des Ă©lectrodes en fer seraient donc plus intĂ©ressantes pour l’élimination du bleu de mĂ©thylène, comparativement Ă  des Ă©lectrodes en aluminium.Mots clĂ©s : Electrocoagulation, fer, aluminium, effluents industriels, bleu de mĂ©thylène.   English Title: Study of operator parameters in electrocoagulation for the treatment of a synthetic textile effluent: example of methylene blueIndustrial effluents from textile activities have a large polluting load that is difficult to biodegrade and which has significant impacts on the environment and on humans. Their decontamination by conventional biological or physical processes is often ineffective and therefore requires the use of advanced oxidation processes including electrocoagulation. In the present work, we investigated the  electrocoagulation removal of methylene blue, a synthetic textile dye model, using iron and aluminum electrodes. The study of the parameters of EC which can influence the elimination of methylene blue in wastewater, such as the pH, the duration of the electrolysis, the  current density and the nature of the anode showed that the best treatment are obtained with a pH effluent equal to 7, for 4 hours of electrolysis with an iron electrode at a current density of 3.75 A / cm2. Under these conditions, the percentage of elimination of methylene blue in water reaches 80.1%. Iron electrodes would therefore be more advantageous for the removal of methylene blue, compared to aluminum electrodes.Keywords: Electrocoagulation, iron, aluminum, industrial effluents, methylene blue

    Acacia macrostachya is used in Burkina Faso folk medicine for the treatment of inflammation and cancer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and cytotoxic effects of this plant. The cytotoxic effects of root (dichloromethane B1 and methanol B2) and stem (dichloromethane B3 and methanol B4) bark extracts of A. macrostachya were assessed on chronic K562 and acute U937 myeloid leukemia cancer cells using trypan blue, Hoechst, and MitoTracker Red staining methods. The antioxidant content of extracts was evaluated using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl) and FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) methods. The root bark extracts B1 and B2 of A. macrostachya demonstrated higher cytotoxicity with IC50 values in a low µg/mL range on both U937 and K562 cells, while the stem bark B4 extract selectively affected U937 cells. Overall, healthy proliferating peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pPBMCs) were not or barely impacted in the range of concentrations cytotoxic to cancer cells. In addition, A. macrostachya exhibited significant antioxidant content with 646.06 and 428.08 µg ET/mg of extract for the B4 and B2 extracts, respectively. Phytochemical screening showed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, and terpenoids/steroids. The results of this study highlight the interest of A. macrostachya extracts for the isolation of anticancer molecules
