AB  - The results of experimental studies of the effect of the plasma sprayed alumina coating on the improved corrosion resistance of the heat-resistant ferritic
stainless steel (W.Nr. 1.4713, EN X10CrAlSi7) in the sulfuric acid are presented in
this research. In this investigation, the plasma spray process was employed on the
substrate of ferritic stainless steel with deposition of Al2O3 ceramic coatings with Ni5%Al as a bond layer. Two different coating thicknesses of 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm
were tested. The investigation was performed by electrochemical characterization
and weight loss method. Electrochemical characterization of corrosion behavior of
steel with and without ceramic coating was performed by: the open circuit potential
measurement (OCP), the linear polarization resistance (LRP) method, and the
Tafel extrapolation method. All electrochemical measurements were performed in
the sulfuric acid with a concentration of 0.25 mol/dm3
(pH  1.00). Weight loss
method was performed with a duration of 240 h in the 38 wt.% sulfuric acid. Corrosion current densities obtained by electrochemical methods with the coatings were
between 3 and 4 % of the values of the samples without coatings. Nearly the same
results were obtained with the weight loss method. In both cases, these values are
similar to the porosity of the coatings.

AB  - This paper deals with environmental policy issues related to a landfill design. The final product of numerous waste treatments should be placed on a landfill. Before waste disposal, the ground should be protected by a mineral layer with properties required by the related regulation. In order to prevent environment pollution, EU adopted the Landfill Directive 1999/31/EC. The most important technical requirements related to the characteristics of the layer material are water permeability and thickness. The performed comparative national regulatory analysis raised the question of the need for more uniform elaboration of the directive requirements over the whole European Union area (including EU candidates). The choice of the material for the impermeable mineral layer, which should be made during landfill design, is a very important decision. Methods for the determination of the permeability coefficient were analysed, showing that the Directive should define hydraulic gradient as a physical quantity and define its value through measurement of the permeability coefficient. The paper analyses whether some parts of the Directive, as landfill design BAT and base for national legislative acts, require further elaboration in order to provide sufficient information about proper protection of soil and water. Using integrated approach, seven amendments on the directive annex I were suggested related to (a) the meaning of the term artificially established geological barrier, (b) layer thickness,

AB  - Waste disposal is an important element of integrated waste management. In order to dispose of waste that is free of environmental risk, the proper design of landfills during their construction and/or closure is necessary. The first section of the paper presents the current state of landfills in Serbia, the second deals with problems in project design of landfills, especially in regard to their: a) program of waste disposal; b) impermeable layer; c) leaching collection and treatment; and d) gas collection and treatment. Analysis shows that many modern landfills in Serbia do not meet environmental protection requirements, therefore, they need reconstruction. All existing landfills owned by municipalities, as well as illegal dump sites, should be adequately closed. This paper presents the guidelines for successful landfill design which are to serve to meet the requirements and recommendations of Serbian and European regulations. Sound design of landfill technological elements should insure full sustainability of landfills in Serbia.

Valjano izrađeni projekti izgradnje i/ili zatvaranja deponije osiguravaju bezbedno odlaganje otpada, uz minimalne negativne uticaje na životnu sredinu.

U drugom delu rada, u funkciji analize, opisani su značajni elementi tehnološkog projektovanja savremenih deponija koji uključuju: a) program deponovanja, b) obezbeđivanje vodonepropusnosti dna i prekrivnog sloja, c) sakupljanje i tretman procednih voda i d) sakupljanje, tretman i iskorišćenje deponijskog gasa. U radu je konstatovano da postojeće, savremene deponije nisu u potpunosti projektovane u skladu sa propisima, te da je neophodna njihova rekonstrukcija. Takođe, postojeća smetilišta i divlje deponije neophodno je zatvoriti i sanirati. U ovom radu predstavljene su smernice za valjano tehnološko projektovanje deponija koje su u funkciji ispunjavanja zahteva i preporuka nacionalnih i evropskih propisa.

AB  - Software for chemical processes modeling and simulation, in the past few decades, plays an important role in the development of chemical-process industry with its growing capabilities and wide range of application. Usage of process simulators in Serbia for the process design is very limited. This paper gives a brief overview of the numerous process simulators that are used in the chemical-process industry today. The conceptual design is responsible for most of the investment costs in chemical process industry. Importance of precise design on preliminary level is obvious. Wrong decisions made at the conceptual level could be carried out throughout the chain in process design to the detailed design procedures and procurement of equipment. Although preliminary design phase comprises only about 2% of the total cost of the project, it contributes significantly to the reduction of cost of the project by more than 30%. Therefore process simulators play important role in elimination of unnecessary errors in basic process design. Here is also shown a case study of parallel process simulated in different process simulators which tests the results, the reliability and usefulness of these programs in solving specific engineering tasks. Comparison of given simulation results confirm that the modern process simulators are at high level of confidence, no matter they are based on different models, equations, methods, operations, interfaces or data bases. Usage of software speeds up the arrival of optimized solution during the design and the operational procedures. Therefore software has significant impact on reducing time of pre-project phase such as research, conceptual design, and proving project abilities. Its development leads to the faster commercialization of industrial ideas.

AB  - As a consequence of environmental legislation improvement in Serbia for industrial producers, especially future holders of Integrated Pollution Prevention Control (IPPC) license, it is necessary to report annually on emissions of pollutants emitted into the environment and pay certain environmental fees. Wastewater treatment plants can be significant sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) diffuse emissions, which are difficult to measure directly. Reporting obligations may also expand to benzene and other VOCs in the near future. This paper deals with gaseous emissions calculations from an API separator, based on emission factors and adequate software applications. The analyses results show that the estimated emission values are significantly different, depending on the applied method. VOC emissions have been estimated using US EPA and CONCAWE emissions factors. Calculated emissions range from 40 to 4500 tons/year for oil refinery WWTP of 2,000,000 m3/year. The calculations of benzene and toluene emissions have been performed using three methods: U.S. EPA emission factors, and WATER9 and Toxchem+ software. The calculated benzene and toluene emissions range from 5.5-60 and 0.7-20 tons/year, respectively. U.S. EPA emission factors give the highest values and Toxchem+ the lowest estimation values. Sensitivity analysis of obtained results included the following parameters: flow, temperature, oil content and the concentration of benzene and toluene in the effluent. The wide range of results indicates the need for their official interpretation for the conditions that are typical for Serbia if, in the future, the "polluter pays" principle should be applied to VOC and benzene emissions. The proposal is that adequate national emission factors should be established.
