AB  - Two adsorbents, pristine electric arc furnace slag (EAFS) and alkali activated slag (AAS) were used for Cu2+ removal from aquatic solutions. Batch adsorption tests were conducted at various temperatures and initial Cu2+ concentrations, while solid to liquid ratio and pH of solution were kept constant. Pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetics models, Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, as well as intraparticle and Boyd's diffusion models were applied in order to investigate the adsorption process. It has been found that alkali activation of EAFS leads to an increase in the specific surface of slag and thus improves the sorption properties of EAFS. The adsorption of Cu2+ onto both adsorbents proceeds via PSO adsorption mechanism, film diffusion mainly controls the adsorption process, and Langmuir isotherm model fits well the experimental data. Results indicated a fast adsorption process which is spontaneous and endothermic in nature. Microstructural investigation of EAFS and AAS revealed morphological changes in metal loaded EAFS and AAS samples in comparison to unloaded adsorbents. X-ray powder diffraction analysis indicated that adsorption of Cu2+ onto both adsorbents occurs through formation of a Cu-complex.

AB  - Steel production in electric arc furnaces yielding formation of two waste materials, toxic electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) and non-hazardous electric arc furnace slag (EAFS). EAFD presents a potential hazard to the environment as it is characterized by the presence of heavy metals. This study dealt with the synthesis and characterization of alkali activated slag cement (AAS) based on EAFS with addition of 1-7% of Zn-rich EAFD dopant. Effects of slag replacement with dust on the compressive strength, physico-chemical, mineralogical and morphological properties of AAS cement were evaluated. This replacement lead to the development of porosity of AAS matrix, and retardation of slag alkali activation which resulted in the weakening of the AAS structure and hence in compressive strength decrease as pure AAS cement compressive strength was 21.04 MPa while AAS doped with 7% of EAFD reached only 8.4 MPa. On the other hand, AAS doped with 5% of EAFD exhibited compressive strength of 13.82 MPa, making it is still suitable for construction purposes... Scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) in high angle annular dark field (HAADF) mode, X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) investigations and standard EN 12457-2 leaching test provided information on the ability of AAS based on EAFS to fix Zn in AAS matrix.. The concentration of Zn in leachate of AAS cement doped with 5% of EAFD was 9.20 mg/kg which is below the limit prescribed for the granular waste acceptable at non-hazardous landfills according the European Directive 2003/33/CE.

AB  - Electric arc furnace slag (EAFS) and electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) are the waste materials generated during the iron and steel scrap remelting in electric arc furnace. EAFS is non-hazardous material which has found its application in different field of civil engineering. On the other hand, EAFD is classified as hazardous matreials due to the presence of heavy metals (Zn, Pb, Cu Cr and Cd) and their potential leaching into environment. Stabilization/solidification (S/S) of toxic waste is a widely investigated as simply method for production of stable product. Cement binder was mainly used for this purpose but important shift in the use of different waste materials as a cement replacement was observed. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of S/S of heavy metals from EAFD using the alkali activated binders based on EAFS. The alkali activated slag with a different content of EAFS was synthesised and characterized using the SEM/EDS, XRDP, FTIR. The binding of Zn into the reaction product of slag alkali activation was founded. The immobilization efficacy was evaluated using TCLP Method No. 1311 (USEPA) and EN 12457-2 (EULFD) leaching tests.

AB  - The concentrations of Al, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sr, Zn, and Hg were studied in Mytilus galloprovincialis collected from the coastal area of Montenegro. The impact of seawater temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, total organic carbon (TOC), and metal content in sediment samples on the metal contents in mussels collected from three locations in four different seasons was analyzed by a Pearson correlation coefficient (r), principal component analysis (PCA), and cluster analysis (CA). These analyses were used to discriminate groups of samples, elements, and seawater parameters, according to similarity of samples chemical composition in different seasons, as well as the impact of seawater parameters and surface sediment composition on the mussels' element concentrations. Synergistic interactions occurred between seawater TOC, Fe, and Al concentrations in mussels. Compared with other studies, which are usually performed under constant laboratory conditions where mussels undergo only one stress at a time, this study was performed in nature. The analyses showed the importance of considering simultaneously acting environmental parameters that make determining of separate impacts of each factor selected very difficult and complex.

AB  - In order to assess human health risks via consumption of potentially toxic mussels, the concentrations of Al, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sr, Zn and Hg were studied in Mytilus galloprovincialis collected from the coastal area of Montenegro. By two approaches for the human health risk assessment (HHRA), considering oral reference doses by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and provisional tolerable intakes by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), it has been revealed that despite the fact that trace element levels do not exceed the defined limits for mussels, they can be limiting factors for the mussel consumption. Specifically, it was noticed that the levels of Co, Pb, Cd and Li could be the limiting factors for the consumption of mussels from this coastal area. Al and Li data obtained in this study are especially important since these two elements have not been previously studied in M. galloprovincialis. Furthermore, taking into account the significant differences in concentrations of elements in different seasons, the study confirmed the starting assumption that in the calculations for the HHRA the average concentrations of elements in samples taken in different seasons during a longer period should be used.

AB  - The removal of heavy metals from wastewaters is presently a global imperative primarily due to their well-known toxic nature and detrimental effects on the environment, and more importantly, on human health. Currently, special attention is paid to the use of novel slag based materials – alkali activated slag (AAS) as potential novel adsorbents. Our previous studies have shown that electric arc furnace slag (EAFS) can be successfully used as a precursor for the production of AAS. Generally, alkaline activation involves a chemical reaction between solid aluminosilicate materials and a highly alkaline activator. The alkali activation mechanism of slag involves the dissolution of slag in a highly alkaline, which is followed by the condensation and hardening processes. Dependent on the pH and type of alkaline activator, calcium (alumina) silicate hydrate or C–(A)–S–H gel has been identified as a reaction product of slag alkali activation. The objective of this research was to investigate the removal of Cu2+ from aquatic solution using alkali activated slag (AAS) obtained by alkaline activation of EAFS.

AB  - Electric arc furnace slag (EAFS) is the by-product of steel production in an electric arc furnace. In a pass two decade a special attention is paid to the valorization of metallurgical slags by alkali activation. The process involves a chemical reaction of slag with the alkaline activator followed by the condensation and hardening processes. Aluminium-containing calcium silicate hydrate gel i.e. C–(A)–S–H gel with a low C/S ratio has been identified as a reaction product of slag alkali activation. We have synthesized the AAS using the EAFS as the precursor and Na2SiO3 solution as an activator. The AAS samples are characterized by XRD, SEM/EDS and FTIR analysis. Moreover, investigation of mechanical properties dilatometric and porosity analysis were performed as well so as to build up a detailed illustration of AAS properties and possible application of these materials. The results have shown that AAS may reach the compressive strength (~ 40 MPa) which enables its application in a civil engineering. Moreover, the AAS sample exhibits improved strength (~ 50 MPa) at elevated temperatures thus potential application of these materials in a high temperature conditions should be considered. On the other hand, these materials may be used as an effective adsorbent for the Cu2+ removal from sulfate bearing wastewater. The Cu2 + ions have been found to be attached on the surface of AAS by formation of stable hydrooxocomplexes that are sorbed on the adsorbent surface via hydroxyl groups in the form of posnjakite crystal phase.

AB  - This study aims to understand the kinetic, thermodynamic and mechanism of Cu2+ adsorption onto unmodified electric arc furnace slag (EAFS) and alkali modified EAFS. The adsorption process was investigated via a batch reactor system. The modified EAFS sample has been prepared by reacting an EAFS powder with an aqueous alkali silicate solution. The both samples were characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR and porosimetric measurements. The results have shown that alkali activation of EAFS favour adsorption process. The adsorption reaction on both adsorbents was found to be pseudo second order. Thermodynamic investigations have shown that adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic. Mechanism of adsorption was investigated using the intraparticle diffusion and Boyd model which suggested that the both, film diffusion and diffusion within the pores of adsorbent controls the intraparticle diffusion of Cu2+ onto and EAFS and modified EAFS and was mainly due to external mass transport. Besides, FTIR spectroscopy determined the surface functional groups of the EAFS and modified EAFS which participate in Cu2+ bonding.

AB  - The dissolution of electric arc furnace steel slag (EAFSS) in highly alkaline MOH solution (M = alkali metal Na or K) has been investigated with emphases on the influence of the initial alkali concentration, solid to liquid (S/L) ratio and temperature on the kinetics of Si and Al dissolution from EAFSS. The shrinking core model (SCM) was used to analyze experimental data and the results have shown that the Si and Al dissolution from EAFSS was greatly influenced by MOH concentration, alkaline ion type and temperature. The dissolution process was controlled by the bulk diffusion through the product layer crystals. The activation energy for Si and Al dissolution was 55.27 kJ/mol and 48.05 kJ/mol in NaOH solution and 90.68 kJ/mol and 33.62 kJ/mol in KOH solution, respectively.

AB  - In terms of quality, bauxite ore can be classified as high- or low-grade ore. High-grade bauxite ores are used for alumina extraction using the Bayer process, while low-grade bauxite ores have a limited application. In this paper we investigate the possibility of evaluating low-grade bauxite ores with the geopolymerization process. The influence of the synthesis parameters, i.e., alkali and silicate dosages and alkali cations (Na+ and K+) on the compressive strength of bauxite-based geopolymers is evaluated. The results show that an increase in the alkali dosage has a beneficial effect on the strength of bauxite-based geopolymers, while the strengthening of geopolymers by increasing the silicate dosage is limited by the viscosity of the geopolymer paste. Moreover, Na-geopolymers reach higher values of the compressive strength than K-geopolymers.
