- Abstract
In a society dominated by connected, well-informed consumers, investing in a brand's e-reputation is a key issue for businesses. While some researchers have shown that e-reputation exerts a positive influence on online purchasing decisions, others have shown that the processes of influence differ depending on the search context and the nature of the product. A more in-depth examination is needed, particularly in the context of online sales of food products in Côte d'Ivoire. To this end, this research aims to shed new light on this contrasting literature by analysing a moderating variable (sensitivity to the mention of geographical origin) delimiting the perimeter of influence of e-reputation on the online purchasing decision. The 523 questionnaires administered to online consumers were analysed using structural equation modelling based on the PLS method, as well as the Hayes (2013) bootstrapping method for moderation tests. The results show that e-reputation has different effects on online purchasing decisions, depending on the degree of sensitivity to the mention of geographical origin. Finally, managerial recommendations are put forward to help managers reconsider their current online sales strategies. Keywords: e-reputation, online purchasing decision, sensitivity to geographical origin, food product. Classification JEL: M31, M37. Paper type: Empirical Research., Dans une société à la fois dominée par des consommateurs connectés et avertis, investir dans la réputation électronique de la marque constitue un enjeu central pour les entreprises. Alors que des chercheurs montrent que l’e-réputation exerce une influence positive sur la décision d’achat en ligne, d’autres, par contre, montrent que les processus d’influence diffèrent selon le contexte de recherche et la nature du produit. Un examen plus approfondi s’avère nécessaire, en particulier dans le contexte de la vente en ligne des produits vivriers en Côte d’Ivoire. À ce titre, cette recherche vise à apporter un nouvel éclairage sur cette littérature contrastée en analysant une variable modératrice (sensibilité à la mention d’origine géographique) délimitant le périmètre d’influence de l’e-réputation sur la décision d’achat en ligne. L’analyse de 523 questionnaires administrés auprès des cyberconsommateurs a été réalisée à l’aide d’une modélisation par équations structurelles basée sur la méthode PLS, mais aussi par la méthode de Bootstrapping de Hayes (2013) pour ce qui concerne les tests de modération. Les résultats révèlent que l’e-réputation exerce différents effets sur la décision d’achat en ligne selon le degré de sensibilité à la mention d’origine géographique. Des préconisations managériales sont enfin formulées afin d’aider les managers à reconsidérer leurs stratégies actuelles de vente en ligne. Mots clés : e-réputation, décision d’achat en ligne, sensibilité à la mention d’origine géographique, produit vivrier. JEL Classification : M31, M37. Type du papier : Recherche empirique.

Water resources are threatened by various forms of pollution and the proposed treatment processes are often complex with results that are not always satisfactory. This study aims to develop a simple and inexpensive treatment to minimize the presence of humic acids (HA), an organic pollutant, in water. The approach adopted is the establishment of a hybrid process combining adsorption and heterogeneous photocatalysis performed with titanium dioxide. The adsorption method was carried out primary with activated carbon and secondary with three clays from Ivory Coast. Activated carbon was prepared from coconut shell by a simplified procedure, without chemical additives, in order to obtain an economic and ecological adsorbent. The three raw clays (Dabou, Yamoussoukro and Katiola) each underwent purification operations to obtain pure fractions. Characterization tests including various techniques (elemental analysis, XRD, nitrogen adsorption, IR, etc.) were carried out on the adsorbents obtained. Adsorption tests carried out with the coal showed that no elimination of HA was observed. The main reason is the lack of functional groups on the surface of the prepared coal. The adsorption tests conducted with the clays have shown that these materials are capable of removing HA. The results revealed that the clay richest in kaolinite (Yamoussoukro) has a much higher maximum adsorption capacity (115 mg/g) compared to the others (20 and 15 mg/g for Dabou and Katiola respectively). This difference found its explanation in the mineralogical and structural composition of each of the clays. Photocatalysis tests showed a degradation of the macromolecules of HA into smaller sizes compounds. The mineralization of the organic matter was observed with total organic carbon reduction rate equal to 72 and 82% at pH 7 and 3 respectively. By placing in series the two processes namely adsorption followed by photocatalysis, the removal percentage of HA obtained at pH 3, is about 95%. This hybrid process shows an advantage since it makes it possible to eliminate almost all of the initial organic pollution., Les ressources en eau sont menacées par diverses formes de pollution et les procédés de traitement proposés sont souvent complexes avec des résultats qui ne sont pas toujours satisfaisants. Cette étude vise à développer un traitement, simple et peu coûteux pour réduire au maximum la présence dans l’eau des acides humiques (AH), un polluant organique. L’approche adoptée est la mise en place d’un procédé hybride combinant l’adsorption et la photocatalyse hétérogène réalisée avec le dioxyde de titane. La méthode d’adsorption a été réalisée d’une part avec du charbon actif et d’autre part avec trois argiles provenant de la Côte d’Ivoire. Le charbon actif a été préparé à partir des coques de coco selon une procédure assez simplifiée, sans additifs chimiques, dans le souci d’obtenir un adsorbant économique et écologique. Les trois argiles brutes (Dabou, Yamoussoukro et Katiola) ont chacune subi des opérations de purification pour obtenir des fractions pures. Des tests de caractérisation réalisés par diverses techniques (analyse élémentaire, DRX, adsorption d’azote, IR, etc.) ont été effectués sur les adsorbants obtenus. Les essais d’adsorption réalisés avec le charbon ont montré qu’aucune élimination des AH n’a été observé. La raison principale serait le manque de groupements fonctionnels sur la surface du charbon préparé. Les tests d’adsorption conduit avec les argiles ont montré que ces matériaux sont capables d’éliminer les AH. Les résultats ont révélé que l’argile la plus riche en kaolinite (celle de Yamoussoukro) a une capacité d’adsorption maximale largement supérieure (115 mg/g) par rapport aux autres (20 et 15 mg/g pour Dabou et Katiola respectivement). Cette différence trouve son explication dans la composition minéralogique et structurale de chacune des argiles. Les tests de photocatalyse menés ont montré une dégradation des macromolécules d’AH en des composés de plus petites tailles. La minéralisation de la matière organique a été observée avec une réduction du carbone organique total de l’ordre de 72 et 82 % respectivement aux pH 7 et 3. En mettant en série à pH 3, les deux procédés à savoir l’adsorption suivie de la photocatalyse, une réduction de 95% du carbone organique total des AH est obtenue. Le procédé hybride ainsi réalisé montre un avantage certain car il permet d’éliminer la quasi-totalité de la pollution organique initiale.

The photocatalytic degradation of humic acid (HA) in aqueous solution with titanium dioxide (TiO2) as catalyst has been studied. The effect of initial pH of the solution on the photocatalytic degradation has been examined. The photocatalytic process of humic acid has been followed by the determination of UV-VIS spectra and total organic carbon (TOC) of the reaction solution. The results showed that at low pH values, the degradation of HA was very favorable due to the adsorbent nature of the catalyst. The mineralization of the organic matter was observed with a reduction of the TOC of the order of 70 and 80% at pH = 7 and 3 respectively. Parameters such as absorbance ratio and Specific UV Absorbance (SUVA) were also calculated and the results revealed a reduction of the macromolecules of HA into compounds of smaller sizes. Moreover an aromaticity reduction of the treated HA was observed due to the action of hydroxyl radicals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Adsorption behaviours of humic acid on three natural clays from Ivory Coast were studied. In order to investigate the adsorption mechanism, characterization of clays and the humic acid–clay complex was conducted by using various analytical methods (attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), specific surface area analysis (BET) and chemical composition). As a result, adsorption process showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of humic acid was achieved at pH = 3 and was found to be to 115 mg/g obtained for the best sample. For all clays, the adsorption was found to be strongly dependent on pH and well fitted by the Langmuir model. In addition, it was shown that the adsorption capacity was linked to the kaolinite content of each sample. The results showed that humic acid adsorption onto clay was made via electrostatic interactions, ligand exchange and hydrophobic interactions. This study showed that clays are valuable adsorbents for the removal of humic acid. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
