AB  - Using ionizing radiation in treating waste sludge from a drinking water treatment plant is a well-known technique. Sludge treated with ionizing radiation can be used as fertilizer in agriculture. In this paper, the effects of aging on the physicochemical characteristics, the content of microorganisms, molds, acrylamide, heavy metal concentration, and total nutrient content in waste sludge treated with e-beam and gamma irradiation were investigated. The possibility of using treated sludge as a fertilizer in agriculture was evaluated. It has been shown that the content of acrylamide in treated sludge after 15 months of storage does not exceed the limits for sludge to be used as fertilizer. If the sludge is stored in closed bags in a dark place, aging does not increase total microorganisms and molds. The research also showed that the sludge's physicochemical characteristics treated in this way do not decrease under the influence of aging. Finally, it has been shown that aging does not change the concentration of heavy metals and total nutrients in sludge treated by ionizing irradiation.

AB  - Wooden cultural heritage serves as a very important source of information for historians and researchers. Also, it imposes an obligation on the science to keep this legacy for future generations in a proper condition. Among other techniques of conservation of wooden cultural heritage, a very suitable method is impregnation of the wood with the polymer, whereby the wood/polymer composites are formed. This paper describes the method of preparing the wood/polymer composites based on beechwood, using five different monomer systems. The method of lyophilization and subsequent polymerization by gamma radiation was used. After lyophilization and immersing in the monomer solutions, the wood samples were dried and irradiated with a dose of 25 kGy and different gamma irradiation dose rates. The weight of the samples before and after this procedure was measured. Also, changes in the mechanical properties of wood (compression test) before and after treatment were examined. We also examined the effect of radiation dose rate on polymerization. Based on the weight differences, dose rates and materials characterization we determined which of the monomer solution and dose rate are the most suitable for making beechwood/polymer composites.

AB  - The distribution of the absorbed dose within the irradiated product is a complex function of the product density and homogeneity, the position and shape of the radiation source, as well as the design of the irradiator. In this paper, detailed mapping of absorbed radiation doses in products of different density: gauze, plastic, and soil, is performed. Positions of minimum and maximum absorbed radiation dose were determined, and the homogeneity of irradiation of products was calculated using the ethanol-monochlorobenzene oscillotitrator dosimetry system. © 2020, Vinca Inst Nuclear Sci.

AB  - Eu3+ activated LaPO4 phosphors were prepared by a high-temperature solid-state method and irradiated to different high-doses gamma-radiation in the 0-4 MGy range. No effects of high-doses of high-energy radiation on phosphor's morphology and structure were observed, as documented by electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction measurements. On the other hand, photoluminescence measurements showed that emission properties of phosphor were affected by gamma-radiation; changes in radiative properties being prominent for absorbed radiation doses up to 250 kGy after which no additional changes are observed. Judd-Ofelt analysis of emission spectra is performed to thoroughly investigate radiative properties of phosphors. Analysis showed that radiative transition probability of Eu3+ emission decreases while non-radiative probability increases upon gamma-irradiation. Quantum efficiency of emission is decreased from about 46% to 35% when Eu3+ doped LaPO4 powders are exposed to gamma-radiation of 250 kGy dose, showing no additional decrease for higher gamma-radiation doses.
