AB  - Peach stones, a valuable agro-industrial by-product available in many countries worldwide, comprise a renewable resource, which can be widely applied for multifunctional purposes. Its important advantages such as high-energy value, low ash content, low price and wide abundance, make peach stones an ideal fuel for energy production, but also for new materials synthesis. Although peach stones exhibit adequate combustion properties, allowing their direct use with minimal physical/chemical treatment, they often need further modification in order to improve their thermal properties, where slow pyrolysis is frequently used. This study aims to provide a practical and effective solution to the revalorization of waste biomass originating from the fruit processing industry, through slow pyrolysis in order to convert this waste into carbonaceous material - biochar. The thermo-chemical conversion of raw biomass resulted in a stable material with excellent fuel properties, with higher mass energy density and grinding ability, providing biochar with properties, in energy sense, similar or even better than a coal. Biochar has a higher fixed carbon content and a higher energy potential than biomass itself, and its application as a biofuel might reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, as it reduces the amount of waste landed and increases the share of energy generated from renewable sources.

AB  - In this study, slow pyrolysis was employed for the thermochemical conversion of peach stones (PS), lignocellulosic waste (LCW) from food industry, to prepare biochar (PS-B), a new and efficient sorbent for the removal of toxic dye, brilliant green (BG), from aqueous solution. Detailed characteristics of PS and PS-B were analysed using pH suspension, pHPZC, zeta potential, particle size distribution, thermogravimetric method (TG-DTG), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results revealed that material loss during slow pyrolysis not only altered the chemical structure of the samples, but also induced the volume shrinking phenomenon, resulting in production of a rougher, porous structure with decreased crystallinity. Also, five times less total organic carbon (TOC) release was demonstrated by biochar compared to native material. Comparison of experimental results for BG sorption by PS and PS-B showed that sorption capacity increased after pyrolysis and that sorption kinetic was significantly improved. The BG sorption by both sorbents followed the pseudo-second-order reaction kinetic model, with the intraparticle diffusion model within pores controlling the adsorption rate in PS-B. Isotherm equilibrium modelling revealed that the Sips isotherm provided the best model fit with maximum sorption capacity of 82.53 and 101.11 mg/g for PS and PS-B, respectively. A possible sorption mechanism of BG was achieved through pore filling (porous diffusion), hydrogen bonding, electrostatic attraction and π-π interactions. The results demonstrated that biochar derived from peach stones can be used as a promising green material for removing BG from contaminated waters.

AB  - Renewable hydrogen produced from the waste streams can be a good option for clean energy production and reduction of greenhouse gases emissions into the environment. In this study, the potential for hydrogen production from the food industry wastewaters in Serbia and the further use of the calculated potentials were investigated. This was performed through two technological routes including the biogas steam reforming process and the electrolysis after biogas cogeneration process. Furthermore, the environmental impacts of these processes were considered. The total hydrogen potential via the biogas steam reforming process was 4094.70 tons, while the total hydrogen potential via the electrolysis after biogas cogeneration process was 1751.08 tons. These potentials can be used for direct energy production in the food industry, electricity production for the national electric grid, transport, injection in the natural gas grid and/or as a resource in the chemical industry. Regarding the Greenhouse Gas emissions reduction, hydrogen production by both routes represents a promising pathway. The results of this work can serve the decision makers to plan hydrogen application in the energy sector of the Republic of Serbia defining supporting measures for its application. Also, the presented analysis is enforceable in the Western Balkan countries for the application of hydrogen as an energy source in their systems for energy production, transport and economy.

AB  - Anaerobic digestion is a natural process of organic material degradation by different kinds of microorganisms in the absence of oxygen. This process is used for industrial purpose to manage waste streams or to produce biogas. It gives a major contribution in reduction of harmful effects of organic waste disposal to the environment. The aim of agricultural waste pretreatment in biogas production is to decrease the retention time, improve utilization of raw material and improve the overall productivity and energy efficiency of the production process. In this paper the effects of combined chemical and mechanical pretreatment of corn straw biomass on biogas yield during anaerobic digestion of the feedstock were analyzed. The impact of pretreatment and process parameters in biogas production was analyzed by process simulation using the software SuperPro Designer. Using this tool, it was shown that alkaline pretreatment leads to an decrease of degradation time along with an increase in biogas yield.

AB  - In this paper, the character of structural changes induced by different mechanical treatments to Prunus persica stones (PSs), and its subsequent effect on biosorption kinetics of Cu(II) were investigated. PSs were processed in vibratory disk mill (PS-V) and ultra-centrifugal mill (PS-C) and characterized by XRD, BET, SEM and FTIR spectroscopy. It was shown that PS-V was smaller and more reactive with less crystallinity index and hydrogen bond intensity compared to PS-C. In opposite, surface area of the PS-C was bigger than that of the PS-V. The total pore volume was about threefold, while the volume of micro pores was 9.29 times higher in PS-Cs than in PS-Vs. The kinetics of Cu(II) biosorption by both PSs was tested through various kinetic models: pseudo-first and pseudo-second order rate equations, Elovich equation, Boyd model, Weber-Morris and Urano-Tachikawa intraparticle diffusion model. For both sample types, Cu(II) biosorption occurred through combination of intraparticle and film diffusion mechanism, while kinetic results were best described by the pseudo-second order kinetic model. At the same time, the results indicated that together with kinetic rate the biosorption capacity of PS-C (21.20 mg g(-1)) was higher than that of PS-V (16.30 mg g(-1)). Mechanical activation like crushing and grinding will change material particle size, specific surface area and porosity, as well as its crystallinity. However, this paper elucidates that such physical structural changes will impact on heavy metal ions removal efficiency. This investigation suggests that the type of size reduction in lignocellulosic biosorbent preparation plays a very important role in overall biosorption performance, so it should be carefully considered every time when the mechanical treatment of material is necessary to be applied.

AB  - Fluoride ions are increasingly present in the groundwater mainly due to the anthropogenic activity. On the other hand, increased awareness of harmful effects caused by high concentrations of F-in drinking water, leads to severe standards of water quality. Because of this, intensive researches of new methods for fluoride removal from water streams have been made in last decade. This paper examines the potential of aluminum alginate particles as a cheap and efficient biosorbent for F- removal. The adsorbent characterization before and after F- adsorption was performed using FT-IR technique. Adsorption experiments were conducted in a stirring batch mode, varying both concentration of adsorbate and adsorbent dose. Obtained result of 11,40 mg F-/g Al-alginate indicates a high adsorption capacity, while the kinetic parameters show fast removal kinetics.
AB  - Antropogeni faktor uslovio je sve veće prisustvo fluoridnih jona u podzemnim vodama. Sa druge strane, povećana svest o štetnosti visokih koncentracija ovog polutanta u pijaćoj vodi, dovela je do strožijih standarda kada su ovi joni u pitanju. Zato se poslednje decenije vrše intenzivna ispitivanja novih metoda za uklanjanje fluoridnih jona iz otpadnih i pijaćih voda. U ovom radu je ispitana mogućnost upotrebe aluminijum alginatnih čestica, jeftinog i efikasnog adsorbenta, za uklanjanje fluoridnih jona. Detaljna karakterizacija primenjenog adsorbenta urađena je pre i nakon adsorpcije primenom FT-IR tehnike. Eksperimenti su izvedeni u šaržnom sistemu sa mešanjem, pri različitim polaznim koncentracijama adsorbenta i adsorbata. Dobijen rezultat od 11,40 mg F-/g Al-alginata ukazuje na visok kapacitet adsorbenta, a kinetički parametri pokazuju brzu kinetiku uklanjanja ispitivanog polutanta.

AB  - The most important source of renewable energy in Serbia represents biomass (60.3 %) with total potential of 3.405 million toe. Almost half of this amount (1.67 million toe) represents agricultural and industrial waste, with further negligible revalorization. Various investigations have demonstrated that agricultural byproducts have promising capacities to remove a variety of pollutants, which might increase the sustainability of their life cycle. This paper investigates the possible use of lignocellulosic waste material (LCW), originating from food industry as biosorbent for heavy metals, and later as a solid fuel. For this purpose we have used peach stone particles (PS) obtained by mechanical activation of this LCW as Cu(II) sorbent. The physical and chemical characteristics of PS reveal its complex structure which was confirmed by SEM, and FTIR analysis. PS behavior on pyrolysis process was studied by dynamic thermo gravimetric and derivate thermo gravimetric analysis. Results show that this lignocellulosic waste can be applied as sorbent and as a fuel. This approve that this agricultural waste can be a resource more than a waste and that it does not need to be disposed of in the costly and inefficient way, which is especially important in developing economies, like Serbian.

AB  - This paper presents an eco-friendly approach for minimizing heavy metal pollution, offering food waste valorization and energy source at the same time. It focuses on Cu(II) sorption by low cost sorbent developed by mechanical treatment of Prunus persica L. stones, a food industry waste biomass. Removal of Cu(II) was studied at different operating parameters in a batch sorption system, with special attention on temperature effect on sorption process. The pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order and Elovich model were applied to test kinetic experimental data. Equilibrium experimental results were fitted to Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips, Toth and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherms to elucidate the type and sorption performance. Characteristic functional groups responsible for Cu(II) binding and thermal behavior of PS have been investigated using FT-IR and TGA analyses. The activation parameters were calculated using Arrhenius and Eyring equations. Using equilibrium data at different temperatures, thermodynamic parameters Delta G degrees, Delta H degrees and Delta S degrees were calculated, suggesting that the sorption of Cu(II) on PS is spontaneous and endothermic process with increased randomness during the sorption. The isosteric heat of adsorption (Delta H-iso) was determined, suggesting the non -uniformity of PS surface and lateral interactions among ions sorbed. Desorption experiments performed with different chemicals have confirmed the reusability of PS for five cycles, without losing and even improving its sorption capacity. Results presented in this paper might help in appropriate design of purification systems using this type of lignocellulosic waste.

AB  - A possibility to apply raw, powdered peach shells ( PS) as a biosorbent for water purification was studied. The PSs are locally available as a solid waste in a fruit juice factory; methylene blue (MB) was chosen as representative of common pollutants in textile industry wastewater. The phase composition of prepared particles was identified by XRD. The particle morphology was characterized by FE-SEM, while the size distribution was measured by a laser light-scattering particle size analyzer. The BET specific surface area was determined from N-2 adsorption/desorption experiments. The effect of operating parameters: the biosorbent amount (50-1000 mg/100 mL), contact time (10-180 min), solution pH (2-12) and initial concentration (10-100 ppm) on biosorption efficiency was examined. Optimal conditions for MB removal were found to be: the biosorbent amount of 400 mg/100 mL and pH 5.5. A high efficiency of MB removal was established after 180 min: 99% for [MB](i) = 10 ppm and 76% for [MB](i) = 100 ppm. Biosorption is well described by the Freundlich- and BET-type isotherms, implicating heterogeneous adsorption sites and interconnections between adsorbed molecules. The FTIR spectroscopy results indicate hydrogen bonding between the dye and the biomass. The obtained results shown that raw peach shell particles could be used as an efficient low-cost biosorbent for dye removal from water.

AB  - Aquatic weed Myriophyllum spicatum L. is one of the most invasive water plants known. In many countries, it is usually harvested and landfilled, where aerobic and anaerobic decomposition takes place. In this research, the kinetic, equilibrium, and desorption studies of biosorption of Pb(II), Cu(II), Cd(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) ions onto compost of M. spicatum were investigated in batch experiments. Biosorbent was characterized by scaning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). SEM analysis showed that ion exchange between divalent cations Ca(II) and selected metals takes place. The results of FTIR exposed that carbonyl, carboxyl, hydroxyl, and phenyl groups are main binding sites for those heavy metal ions. The rate of adsorption of the five heavy metals was fast, which achieved equilibrium in 40 min, and followed the pseudo-second-order model well. Langmuir, Freundlich, and Sips equilibrium adsorption models were studied, and Sips isotherm gave the best fit for experimental data. Desorption by 0.1 M HNO3 did not fully recover the metals sorbed onto the compost, indicating that reusing this material as biosorbent is not possible. Furthermore, the use of spent biosorbent as a soil fertilizer is proposed.

AB  - BACKGROUND Lead is one of the frequent contaminants of industrial wastewater. Since it has been shown that aquatic plants can be used for the removal of heavy metals, herein Pb(II) biosorption by Myriophyllum spicatum and its compost were investigated. Effects of pH, ionic strength and contact time were analyzed using a batch experiment. Biomasses were characterized chemically and by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. RESULTS The adsorption process of both biosorbents followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Compost exhibits better Pb(II) removal from solution (71%) compared with the plant (61%). Lead binding capacities for M. spicatum and its compost were 0.234 mmol g(-1) and 0.287 mmol g(-1) at pH 5.0, respectively. Lead binding takes place mainly through an ion exchange mechanism, but chemisorption via identified functional groups cannot be neglected. The Langmuir, Freundlich and Sips adsorption models for compost were applied. The Sips isotherm model gave the best fit with the equilibrium experimental data. The sorption process by compost was endothermic and spontaneous. CONCLUSION Aquatic weed compost as a low cost biosorbent with high biosorption capacity can potentially be used for the removal of lead from wastewaters.

AB  - In this paper, an overview of data collected during monitoring of lead content in atmospheric precipitation on GAW/EMEP (Global Atmosphere Watch/European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme) station "KameniCKI Vis", Serbia from 2000 to 2010 is given. Annual arithmetic mean concentrations, weighted arithmetic mean concentrations, and median of week samples are presented. Obtained data was compared with results of analysis of atmospheric precipitation collected on experimental EMEP station "Zeleno brdo", Serbia and discussed in the scope of European average levels of lead content in precipitation and air. Significant increase of average annual lead content in precipitation was observed in 2003 and 2007. The observed peaks cannot be seen on average European trends, thus leading to the conclusion that the recorded increases are characteristic for the local region. In order to further discuss the nature and direction of possible sources of detected lead pollution, a short analysis of lead emission data was performed. An effort was made to gather data from the countries that lay in directions from which dominant winds blow, as well as for Serbia. For this purpose, total national emissions from LRTAP Convention emission inventory report and EMEP emission inventory were used, as well as data published by relevant national authorities. According to these emission levels, the majority of the surrounding countries couldn't have contributed much to the recorded increases of lead content in precipitation. However, several possible sources were revealed. In all studied countries, emission levels steadily dropped during the analyzed period, whereas only for Serbia a different trend was observed. The presented data leads to the conclusion that the recorded increase of lead content in precipitation in 2003 probably originates from trans-boundary contributions, while increases in 2007 and onwards may come from Serbia's own emissions.
