Safou, an oilseed native to the Gulf of Guinea, is a highly perishable fruit, making it difficult to preserve and market. Its high perishability is attributed to the intense activity of cell wall degrading softening enzymes and its high-water content. Several alternatives have already been proposed to overcome this difficulty: storage in an aerated environment or at low temperature, pulp drying, oil extraction, processing into various food products (spreads, cookies, etc.). In spite of these efforts, the need for fresh fruit remains strong, thanks to its health benefits.

Mineral coal bottom ash, a residue from power plants, is an under-exploited industrial waste in Niger despite its interesting properties, notably its low density. This study aims to add value to this material by developing an economical, high-performance composite combining bottom ash powder (≤80 microns) and construction plaster, intended for interior applications such as false ceilings, wall coverings and decorations. Mortars with different proportions of clinker (0-70%) were formulated to assess their mechanical strength and thermal conductivity.
