AB  - The increase in waste polymer recycling has helped in promoting sustainability, and together with the use of renewable raw materials, it has become a widespread concept with positive effects on both the economy and ecology. Accordingly, the aim of this study was the synthesis of “green” plasticizers, marked as LA/PG/PET/EG/LA, formed from waste poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and bio-based platform chemicals propylene glycol (PG) and levulinic acid (LA). The structure of the obtained plasticizers was complex, as confirmed by results from nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. The LA/PG/PET/EG/LA plasticizers and waste poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) were used in an optimized technology for PVC re-granulate production. The hardness of the PVC-based material with “green” plasticizers, in comparison to commercial plasticizer dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP), increased by 11.3%, while migration decreased. An improved material homogeneity and wettability of the fibers by the matrix were observed using SEM analysis of the material’s fracture surface, with a higher efficiency of intermolecular interactions leading to better mechanical performances of the newly designed materials. Thus, LA/PG/PET/EG/LA are unique materials with good compounding and plasticizing potential for PVC, as revealed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). In that manner, the use of bio-renewable resources and recycled polymers will contribute to diminishing waste polymer generation, contributing to a lower carbon footprint.

AB  - Styrene-butadiene (SBR) and acrylonitrile-butadiene (NBR) rubber blends with tetramethyl thiuram disulfide (TMTD) and tetramethyl thiuram monosulfide (TMTS) accelerators and environmentally friendly plasticizers, obtained from PET recycling and biobased resources (LA/PG/PET/EG/LA), were prepared. The mechanical properties of the obtained rubber products were tested and compared with those of commercial dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP). TMTS was prepared by simple and efficient one-pot synthesis from dimethylamine, carbon disulfide, potassium cyanide, and ammonium chloride as catalysts in recycled isopropanol/water azeotrope as solvent. In a comparative study, methoxide, ethoxide, iodide, and amide ions were also used. The two-step reaction mechanism of TMTS synthesis involves the oxidation of the amine salt of dimethyldithiocarbamic acid to TMTD by hydrogen peroxide and sulfur elimination from the TMTD disulfide bond. Potassium cyanide appears to be the most efficient nucleophile. The simplicity of operation, mild reaction conditions, solvent recycling, high yields, and applicability to the industrial level are the advantages of this process. Shore hardness, tensile strength, and compression test results of vulcanized blends before and after aging showed similar properties for both accelerators, while somewhat better results were obtained with LA/PG/PET/EG/LA plasticizer.

AB  - In this paper, the results of decolourisation of Reactive Orange 16 (RO 16), Reactive Blue 19 (RB 19) and Direct Red 28 (DR 28) textile dyes in aqueous solution by plasma needle are presented. Treatment time, feed gas flow rate (1, 4 and 8 dm(3)min(-1)) and gas composition (Ar, Ar/O-2) were optimized to achieve the best performance of the plasma treatment. An artificial neural network (ANN) was used for the prediction of parameters relevant for the decolourisation outcome. It was found that more than 95 % decolourisation could be achieved for all three dyes after plasma treatment, although the decolourisation of DR 28 was much slower than those of the other two dyes, which could be explained by the complexity of its molecular structure. It was concluded that the oxidation was very dependent on all three mentioned parameters. The ANN predicted the treatment time as the crucial factor for decolourisation performance of RO 16 and DR 28, while the Ar flow rate was the most relevant for RB 19 decolourisation. The obtained results suggest that the plasma needle is a promising tool for the oxidation of organic pollutants and that an ANN could be used for optimization of the treatment parameters to achieve high removal rates.

AB  - Purpose Every advanced oxidation process (AOP) has its limitations in water purification. Novel designs with simultaneous application of different AOPs can offer better solutions for cleaner water. Methods We have comparatively studied two advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) on decolourisation of Reactive Orange 16 (RO 16) azo dye pollutant from water: gas plasma treatment by low power atmospheric pressure plasma using novel plasma needle configuration, and semiconductor heterogeneous photocatalysis using titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanopowders. Additionally, simultaneous application of two advanced oxidation processes on azo dye decolourisation was studied. Results It was found that plasma treatment is very efficient system for the dye removal even for low flow rates (1 slm) of the Ar as feed gas. The presence of 10% of O-2 in Ar flow intensified dye oxidation process and shortened required time for total decolourisation. When plasma and catalyst were simultaneously applied, TiO2 was activated with a few Watts plasma source as well as 300 W UV lamp source. The synergic effect of two AOPs was more pronounced for higher feed gas flow rates, resulting in improved decolourisation efficiency. Conclusion Plasma needle can efficiently remove Reactive Orange 16 azo dye from water with a power consumption of only few Watts. With the addition of TiO2 the removal efficiency is significantly improved. [GRAPHICS] .

AB  - An optimal laboratory two-step procedure was developed for sodium/potassium O-alkyl carbonodithioate (sodium/potassium alkyl xanthates) production in the form of aqueous solutions. Sodium isopropyl xanthate (Na-iPrX), as the most effective salt in a real ore flotation process, was also produced at an industrial level and introduced as a collector for copper ores. In order to reduce toxicity of the flotation process and improve sustainability by minimising environmental impacts, collector efficiency and selectivity in the flotation process were studied in relation to possible synergism of xanthates combined with the derived biomass and biodegradable green reagents levulinic acid, 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furanacrylic acid (HMFA), and condensation product of hydroxymethylfurfural and levulinic acid. Optimal content of 30% of HMFA in the collector pointed to the possibility of substitution of commercial xanthate collector without significantly affecting its efficiency/selectivity. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations provided insights into the interaction mechanism of Na-iPrX and HMFA with cooper. The benefits of the presented method highlight production simplicity, mild reaction conditions, high purity and yield of products, no by-products, and technological applicability on an industrial scale.

AB  - Designated as the most harmful for health, PM(2.5)aerosol fraction was a subject of our study. It was collected for all four seasons during 2014/15 in the suburban area of Belgrade (Serbia) and analysed for Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Br, As, Ba and Pb elements and for NH4+, NO(3)(-)and SO(4)(2-)ions by particle-induced X-ray emission and ion chromatography techniques, respectively. Obtained concentrations have been treated by a combination of several receptor-oriented models to reveal source contributions to the suburban PM(2.5)at different spatial scales. Applied positive matrix factorization analysis indicated five main groups of emission sources: biomass burning (14.5%), traffic (3.9%), regional combustion/secondary sulphates (28.8%), local combustion/secondary nitrates (29.7%) and soil (5.4%). Local heating units had been pointed out as dominant contributors by long-range transport and ground-wind circulation analyses. Air masses circulating over the Balkan Peninsula denoted regional emissions as responsible for the high concentrations of secondary sulphates. Local and long-range transport analyses combined suggested that the BB and the LC/NO(3)originated from the wider urban area. Several Saharan dust episodes were detected as well. Presented results might be a basis for the development of air pollution mitigation strategies in the continental Balkan area, considered one of the most polluted and under-investigated European regions.

It was collected for all four seasons during 2014/15 in the suburban area of Belgrade (Serbia) and analysed for Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Br, As, Ba and Pb elements and for NH4+, NO(3)(-)and SO(4)(2-)ions by particle-induced X-ray emission and ion chromatography techniques, respectively. Obtained concentrations have been treated by a combination of several receptor-oriented models to reveal source contributions to the suburban PM(2.5)at different spatial scales. Applied positive matrix factorization analysis indicated five main groups of emission sources: biomass burning (14.5%), traffic (3.9%), regional combustion/secondary sulphates (28.8%), local combustion/secondary nitrates (29.7%) and soil (5.4%). Local heating units had been pointed out as dominant contributors by long-range transport and ground-wind circulation analyses. Air masses circulating over the Balkan Peninsula denoted regional emissions as responsible for the high concentrations of secondary sulphates. Local and long-range transport analyses combined suggested that the BB and the LC/NO(3)originated from the wider urban area. Several Saharan dust episodes were detected as well. Presented results might be a basis for the development of air pollution mitigation strategies in the continental Balkan area, considered one of the most polluted and under-investigated European regions.",

AB  - Stillage is the main by-product of bioethanol production and the cost of its treatment significantly affects the economy of bioethanol production. A process of thermal sterilization before lactic acid fermentation (LAF) is energy demanding and is causing deterioration of valuable compounds in stillage. In this study, ultrasound (UT) and plasma (PT) treatments were used for microbial inactivation, and a significant reduction in the number of viable microorganisms in the stillage after PT and UT was observed. After application of treatment, LAF by Lactobacillus rhamnosus ATCC 7469 was initiated. The concentration of LA is used to quantify the efficiency of the stillage revalorization. The highest LA productivity of 1.21 g/Lh and yield of 0.82 g/g were obtained after PT, while UT of 10 min provided productivity of 1.02 g/Lh and LA yield of 0.69 g/g. The results were benchmarked against closed LAF. Around 20% better revalorization of stillage by PT was achieved when compared with conventional sterilization. In addition, an excellent L (+) LA stereoselectivity of 95.5% was attained after PT. From the aspect of energy efficiency, that of PT was three times lower than UT and almost ten times lower than thermal sterilization, but it is the most expensive due to the high consumption of gas which could reduce application of closed Ar atmosphere on larger scales. This way, a simpler and energy efficient process for LA production on stillage was accomplished by "open" fermentation.

AB  - This paper deals with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions originating from changes in the waste sector in developing and transitional economies. Using a Serbian case study, the effects of different waste disposal techniques on GHG emissions were analyzed in three scenarios: the current one, the worst one, and the best one. According to the Serbian national-waste management strategy, a large number of dumpsites and unsanitary landfills should be merged into several regional sanitary landfills. Results obtained from the SWM-GHG Calculator have shown potentially higher emissions from modern regional landfills than from dumpsites. Related environmental policy should therefore be analyzed in detail and applied. Environmental policy options are analyzed using the SWOT technique. The policy option to be implemented depends on country-specific circumstances, such as the adequate functioning of institutions, the effectiveness of the judicial system, the established legal framework, and the general level of competence in the waste management sector. If all of these conditions are in place, the polluter pays' option is the superior one. However, if the level of knowledge and capacity in waste sector is low, and if there are no adequate institutions, or if the judicial system is inefficient, the first option appears to be the right one.

AB  - Magnetic biomonitoring using tree leaves has been proven as a proxy for airborne particle matter (PM) pollution. Since the leaf entrapment of PM is species-specific, in this study, four tree species common in urban areas of Europe and wider (Aesculus hippocastanum, Acer platanoides, Betula pendula and Tilia cordata) were investigated to evaluate which biomonitor enables consistent 'signal' to particle and particle-bound toxic elements. The tree leaves were sampled in the central urban and suburban parks in Belgrade (Serbia) in May and September from 2011 until 2014. Magnetic PM fractions in the samples were quantified by saturation isothermal remanent magnetization (SIRM) while the concentrations of Al, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb and Zn were determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Magnetic and elemental measurements were considered in relation to regulatory PM10 data. Median leaf SIRM values of T. cordata, A. hippocastanum and A. platanoides (174, 140 and 123 x 10(-5) x A m(2) kg(-1), respectively) implied the considerable magnetic enhancement contrary to B. pendula (68 x 10(-5) x A m(2) kg(-1)). However, B. pendula leaves showed the significant correlation between SIRM and PM10 values (r = 0.75) and SIRM and element concentrations and significant spatio-temporal differences in SIRM/element content between the studied parks/years. These results recommend B. pendula as a valuable biomonitor of PM and the associated elements. Nevertheless, both the results (high SIRM values, the significant correlation between SIRM and PM10-r = 0.71) and literature findings (abundance, adaptability, PM removal efficiency) favour A. platanoides over B. pendula in magnetic particle biomonitoring.

AB  - To tackle the ever-present global concern regarding human exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) via food products, this study strived to indicate associations between organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in lake-fish tissue depending on the species and sampling season. Apart from the monitoring initiatives recommended in the Global Monitoring Plan for POPs, the study discussed 7 OCPs and 18 PCB congeners determined in three Cyprinidae species (rudd, carp, and Prussian carp) from Vransko Lake (Croatia), which are widely domesticated and reared as food fish across Europe and Asia. We exploit advanced classification algorithms, the Kohonen self-organizing maps (SOM) and Decision Trees (DT), to search for POP patterns typical for the investigated species. As indicated by SOM, some of the dioxin-like and non-dioxin-like PCBs (PCB-28, PCB-74, PCB-52, PCB-101, PCB-105, PCB-114, PCB-118, PCB-156 and PCB-157), alpha-HCH and beta-HCH caused dissimilarities among fish species, but regardless of their weight and length. To support these suggestions, DT analysis sequenced the fish species and seasons based on the concentration of heavier congeners. The presented assumptions indicated that the supplemental application of SOM and DT offers advantageous features over the usually rough interpretation of POPs pattern and over the single use of the methods.

AB  - The concentrations of 15 elements were measured in the leaf samples of Aesculus hippocastanum, Tilia spp., Betula pendula and Acer platanoides collected in May and September of 2014 from four different locations in Belgrade, Serbia. The objective was to assess the chemical characterization of leaf surface and in-wax fractions, as well as the leaf tissue element content, by analyzing untreated, washed with water and washed with chloroform leaf samples, respectively. The combined approach of self-organizing networks (SON) and Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) aided by Geometrical Analysis for Interactive Aid (GAIA) was used in the interpretation of multiple element loads on/in the tree leaves. The morphological characteristics of the leaf surfaces and the elemental composition of particulate matter (PM) deposited on tree leaves were studied by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) detector. The results showed that the amounts of retained and accumulated element concentrations depend on several parameters, such as chemical properties of the element and morphological properties of the leaves. Among the studied species, Tilia spp. was found to be the most effective in the accumulation of elements in leaf tissue (70% of the total element concentration), while A. hippocastanum had the lowest accumulation (54%). After water and chloroform washing, the highest percentages of removal were observed for Al, V, Cr, Cu, Zn, As, Cd and Sb ( gt 40%). The PROMETHEE/SONranking/classifying results were in accordance with the results obtained from the GAIA clustering techniques. The combination of the techniques enabled extraction of additional information from datasets. Therefore, the use of both the ranking and clustering methods could be a useful tool to be applied in biomonitoring studies of trace elements.

The morphological characteristics of the leaf surfaces and the elemental composition of particulate matter (PM) deposited on tree leaves were studied by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) detector. The results showed that the amounts of retained and accumulated element concentrations depend on several parameters, such as chemical properties of the element and morphological properties of the leaves. Among the studied species, Tilia spp. was found to be the most effective in the accumulation of elements in leaf tissue (70% of the total element concentration), while A. hippocastanum had the lowest accumulation (54%). After water and chloroform washing, the highest percentages of removal were observed for Al, V, Cr, Cu, Zn, As, Cd and Sb ( gt 40%). The PROMETHEE/SONranking/classifying results were in accordance with the results obtained from the GAIA clustering techniques. The combination of the techniques enabled extraction of additional information from datasets. Therefore, the use of both the ranking and clustering methods could be a useful tool to be applied in biomonitoring studies of trace elements.",

AB  - The aim of this paper was to emphasise the need for a volatile organic compounds VOC policy review in the field of river barge transportation of petrochemicals. Review of the VOC policy shows that barges neither fall under an integrated pollution prevention and control permit nor any other regulation or incentive related environmental policy. Current situation and trend in this area is presented through a case study of the Danube River, Serbia. The case study shows that evaporative losses have increased c ca 22 times in period 2006-2010 and, that vapour collection system can reduce VOC emissions by up to 3 times. A proposal for improved VOC policy has been developed in detail based on the following elements: a) The appropriate Best Available Techniques reference document (BREF) should include the transport sector; b) Mandatory reporting of VOC emitted during barge transport of crude oil and crude oil derivates should be introduced, and c) A pollution charge should be introduced on all barges without vapour collection system installed "onboard". Three potential scenarios for the VOC charge are presented, which vary according to the charge introducing dynamics. The differences between scenarios are in initial levels of charge, but the final charge is same for all three and it is proposed to be 220 (sic) per capacity ton.

AB  - In this study, airborne particulates (PM10) and leaves of horse chestnut were collected at selected urban sites in Belgrade, Serbia, in years 2006, 2009 and 2012. All samples were analysed for trace element concentrations of As, Cd, Cr, Ni and Pb. It was found that, during the study period, the differences among PM10 mass trace element concentrations were not considerable, and that the measured mass and trace elements concentrations were below the Serbian and EU legislation limits. The highest values of trace element concentrations in leaves were observed in year 2012, with the exception of Pb. Lead concentration had a decreasing trend during the whole studied period, in both PM10 and tree leaves. Since leaded gasoline was banned in 2011, a possible reason could be an increasing number of vehicles using unleaded kind along the previous years. Although trace elements in horse chestnut leaves were accumulated only during the summer season, horse chestnut leaves showed good response to changes in trace element atmospheric concentrations. However, seasonal variability was evident in trace element source apportionment due to the lack of stationary heating system influence. The principal component analysis showed that during the studied period, one of the major sources of the measured elements was fossil fuel combustion.

Utvrđeno je da razlike u koncentracijama elemenata u tragovima u uzorcima PM10 nisu bile značajne, i da su, tokom posmatranog perioda, bile ispod dozvoljenih granica propisanih od strane Republike Srbije i Evropske Unije. Najviše koncentracije ispitivanih elemenata u listovima su zabeležene u 2012. godini, osim u slučaju olova. Koncentracija olova je imala opadajući trend, i u česticama i u listovima, tokom celog ispitivanog perioda, verovatno zbog povećanja broja vozila koja koriste bezolovni benzin, s obzirom na to da je upotreba olovnog benzina zabranjena početkom 2011. godine. Iako se elementi u tragovima u listovima divljeg kestena akumuliraju samo tokom letnjeg perioda, koncentracije ispitivanih elemenata u listovima su bile u korelaciji sa promenama koncentracija elemenata u vazduhu. Ipak, uočljiva je sezonska varijacija koncentracija elemenata usled nedostatka uticaja stacionarnog grejanja tokom leta. Analiza glavnih komponenti je pokazala da je, tokom posmatranog perioda, jedan od glavnih izvora ispitivanih elemenata bilo sagorevanje fosilnih goriva.

AB  - The first investigation of the use of the Kohonen self-organizing map (SOM) which includes lead concentration and its isotopic composition in moss bags to assess the spatial and temporal patterns of lead in the urban microenvironments is presented in this paper. The moss bags experiment was carried out during 2011 in the city tunnel in Belgrade, as well as in street canyons at different heights (4, 8 and 16 m) and in public garages. The moss bags were exposed for 5 and 10 weeks. The results revealed that the 10 weeks period represents suitable exposure time in screening Pb isotopic composition in active biomonitoring analysis. The obtained results showed that the SOM analysis, by recognizing slight differences among moss samples regarding exposure time, horizontal and vertical spatial distribution, with both, contribution of stable lead isotopes and Pb concentration, could be recommended in biomonitoring analysis of lead distribution in urban microenvironments.

AB  - To compare the applicability of the leaves of horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) and linden (Tilia spp.) as biomonitors of trace element concentrations, a coupled approach of one-and two-dimensional Kohonen networks was applied for the first time. The self-organizing networks (SONs) and the self-organizing maps (SOMs) were applied on the database obtained for the element accumulation (Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb, V, As, Cd) and the SOM for the Pb isotopes in the leaves for a multiyear period (2002-2006). A. hippocastanum seems to be a more appropriate biomonitor since it showed more consistent results in the analysis of trace elements and Pb isotopes. The SOM proved to be a suitable and sensitive tool for assessing differences in trace element concentrations and for the Pb isotopic composition in leaves of different species. In addition, the SON provided more clear data on seasonal and temporal accumulation of trace elements in the leaves and could be recommended complementary to the SOM analysis of trace elements in biomonitoring studies.

AB  - Seven symmetrical 2,6-distyrylpyridines, phenyl-substituted with hydrogen-bond donors, hydrogen-bond acceptors, halogens and hydrophobic moieties were synthesized and their spectroscopic characterization was done. Solvent effects on the absorption and fluorescence spectra were analyzed and quantified using the Kamlet-Taft and Catalan approach. The obtained results were rationalized by comparison of electrostatic potentials of the molecules in the ground and in excited state and by comparison of the frontier molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO), derived from quantum-mechanical calculations (HE, DFT, MP2). Analysis of the results revealed an important influence of non-specific (dispersive) interactions on the solvatochromic behavior of the compounds. 1D and 2D NMR data, in silica obtained conformational assembly of the compound, and the NMR analysis of molecular flexibility in solution (NAMFIS), were used to estimate population of conformers and to deconvolute the UV-Vis spectrum of representative derivative; inferring that the conformational assembly is more complex than was assumed in so far published literature data for this class of compounds. Along with this, the emission spectra of the representative compounds were decomposed by the Multivariate Curve Resolution analysis.

AB  - Biomonitoring has been frequently used as a tool for assessing anthropogenic influences on the environment, and trees have been recognized as efficient ecological indicators of urban air quality. Variations of stable lead isotopic ratios have been suggested as a suitable method for the Pb source identification. Substantial methodological points are yet to be resolved regarding isotopic signatures in environmental studies, and especially within plant biomonitoring. This study has been focused on an assessment of stable lead isotopic ratios (Pb-206/Pb-207 and Pb-208/Pb-207)) for some common urban deciduous tree leaves (Aesculus hippocastanum, Tilia cordata, Acer platanoides and Betula pendula). The study was done in 2009, at the time when the leaded gasoline was still in use in Serbia, although during a time span when an increasing number of vehicles, using non-leaded gasoline, was evident. Thus, a decrease of the Pb emitted from leaded gasoline affected the atmospheric Pb concentrations. The measurements of the Pb isotopes were performed by ICP-MS on both, unwashed samples, and those shortly washed in bidistilled. The percentage of lead removed by applied rinsing was approximately the same in the first three above mentioned species (approximate to 30%), while the exception was B. pendula (22%), indicating the highest retention for fine and coarse particulates due to thick epicuticular wax layer. It may be suggested that leaf washing is useful approach when the aim is an assessment of the isotopic composition in leaves after a certain period of exposure, assuming contribution of possible sources. However, in case of screening for possible sources in particular time sequence, leaves may remain unwashed. The obtained isotopic composition in leaf samples partially corresponded to that used in the lead additive in gasoline, implying also an influence of other Pb sources. The results imply that, among the investigated tree species, B. pendula could be the most efficient indicator in multiple Pb source identification. From the obtained Pb isotopic ratios, A. hippocastanum was confirmed as an appropriate biomonitor for the Pb atmospheric pollution, as previously shown from the Pb leaf concentration analyses.

AB  - Flotation reagents can be transformed to industrial waste if they are stored for a long period of time. Also, if synthesis or drying process is not performed under defined conditions in industrial plants, which produce flotation reagents, batch of waste may arise and be stored as a waste. The chemical composition of this waste depends on the phase in which it was created, but typically includes: unreacted alkali hydroxide, solvent - alcohol and trithiocarbonate and oxidation product - dixanthogenate. In this paper a new laboratory procedure for the treatment of such wastes is described. the identification and separation of industrial waste components is also included. From the separated dixantogenate and xanthate a laboratory synthesis of thioncarbamates is given. In addition, a semi-industrial treatment of waste xanthate is presented. Synthesis of N-alkyl and N,N-dialkyl-O-isobutylthioncarbamates were obtained from the filtrate obtained in the first step. As a by-product, sodium thioglycolate was produced. This by-product is transformed to a thioglycolic acid by the addition of an acid. Also, the synthesis of thioncarbamates from dixanthogenates, isolated from industrial waste as a cake, is desribed. Described waste treatment is additionally interesting due to the production of sulphur as another by-product. laboratory synthesis gave thioncarbamates in yields from 69.7 to 87.7%, while the semi-industrial process for the selected batches produced thioncarbamates in yields from 74.2 to 80.5%. Taking into account the importance of the synthesized compounds as selective flotation reagents, a new procedure of their synthesis from industrial waste is characterized by good yields and purity of the obtained compounds, the simplicity of process, low environmental impact and short reaction times of synthesis.

AB  - The most important environmental problems are caused by intensive industrial
activities, urbanization and population growth. The increase in air pollution resulting
from the expanding use of fossil energy sources and the growth in the manufacture
and use of chemicals has been accompanied by mounting public awareness of and
concern about detrimental effects on health and the environment. Anthropogenic
activities have greatly changed pollutant atmospheric concentrations and consequently,
their availability and cycling. Airborne lead (Pb) is a constituent of atmospheric particulate matter (PM), and as such it may be transported to great distances before
being removed in deposition processes. Here we review the application of plants in
(i) trace elements monitoring, (ii) biomonitoring of lead air pollution and (iii) identifying lead sources in the environment. The instrumental monitoring techniques lack
information on impact of atmospheric pollutants on the living systems and hence,
there has been an increasing interest in using indirect monitoring methods based on a
response of living organisms that may act as trace element bioaccumulators. Since
plants accumulate lead, as well as other trace elements, from the atmosphere, the
indirect air pollution monitoring, using plants has gained importance in the last
decades. Mosses, lichens, but also higher plants have been used for biomonitoring of
various pollutants, including lead. Lead isotopic studies may provide a convenient
approach for studying and tracing the sources of Pb pollution in different environmental compartments. The lead isotope approach for plant biomonitoring in source identification and biomonitoring species validity assessment has been discussed. It has
been shown that airborne Pb is the most important source of accumulated Pb in plants.
The overview of advantages using plants for lead air pollution monitoring is presented
in this paper, as well as the determination of lead sources in the environment.

AB  - The paper presents a model of seasonal water pricing (SWP) aimed primarily at diminishing excessive fresh water use in the city of Belgrade. Seasonal prices are determined on meteorological observations of the average monthly temperatures and the total monthly precipitations in the period from 2000 to 2010, and their deviations from the thirty year normal levels. The SWP operation is based on an ex-post price determination, and it conveys a signal to water users on resource scarcity. Not knowing ex ante how high their monthly bill is going to be, but aware of the price-setting rule, consumers will be in a situation to change their pattern of behaviour towards a more sustainable water use. Potential of the SWP model implementation are a) pushing consumers towards rationality, b) valuable resource conservation and c) enabling the water supply company to cover peak-season supply and the related costs. The SWP model has been created for the Belgrade Water and Wastewater Company, but might be easily implemented in all other cities with the same problems.

Seasonal prices are determined on meteorological observations of the average monthly temperatures and the total monthly precipitations in the period from 2000 to 2010, and their deviations from the thirty year normal levels. The SWP operation is based on an ex-post price determination, and it conveys a signal to water users on resource scarcity. Not knowing ex ante how high their monthly bill is going to be, but aware of the price-setting rule, consumers will be in a situation to change their pattern of behaviour towards a more sustainable water use. Potential of the SWP model implementation are a) pushing consumers towards rationality, b) valuable resource conservation and c) enabling the water supply company to cover peak-season supply and the related costs. The SWP model has been created for the Belgrade Water and Wastewater Company, but might be easily implemented in all other cities with the same problems.",

AB  - Alloys with gallium, antimony and zinc, whose elements, metal constituent WEEE (they are specified for mobile phones) are particularly important for developing photoelectron devices, simple reproductive methods of producing p-n structures GaSb, also for production and construction of photo-wave cells in solar panels and they are also processes which develop ceramic semiconductors. In addition, these alloys represent possible substitute for standard lead-tin seam. For the complete definition of the properties of the ternary Ga-Sb-Zn system there were performed many researches of the alloys. The microstructures of the alloys were investigated by usage of SEM with EDS and optic microscopy. By usage of CALPHAD method there was detected the isothermal cross-section at 25 degrees C. The GaSb has similarities in the properties and behaviour with GaAs, and it is a potential material for the construction of the p-n diode, the photo-wave and thermo-photo-wave cells in solar panels and LCDs. Newly developed materials have been recommended as an adequate replacement for lead and arsenic, which are very dangerous and harmful metals.

AB  - In this paper, we have analyzed parts of printed circuit board (PCB) and liquid crystal display (LCD) screens of mobile phones and computers, quantitative and qualitative chemical compositions of individual components, and complete PCBs were determined. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) methods were used to determine the temperatures of phase transformations, whereas qualitative and quantitative compositions of the samples were determined by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)-energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) analyses. The microstructure of samples was studied by optical microscopy. Based on results of the analysis, a procedure for recycling PCBs is proposed. The emphasis was on the effects that can be achieved in the recycling process by extraction of some parts before the melting process. In addition, newly developed materials can be an adequate substitute for some of the dangerous and harmful materials, such as lead and arsenic are proposed, which is in accordance with the European Union (EU) Restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances (RoHS) directive as well as some alternative materials for use in the electronics industry instead of gold and gold alloys.

AB  - Variation in stable lead isotopic composition has been recognized as a suitable indicator for source identification of Pb contamination in the environment. Some deciduous tree leaves have been reported as useful biomonitors of trace elements atmospheric pollution including lead. The focus of this work was to examine a relationship between the Pb concentration and the stable isotopic ratios (Pb-206/Pb-207 and Pb-208/Pb-207) in leaves of common urban deciduous trees Aesculus hippocastanum and Tilia spp. in the biomonitoring approach for source identification within the Pb atmospheric contamination studies. The study took place over a period of several years (2002-2006, 2009) when leaded gasoline was still in use in the Belgrade urban area, but an increasing number of vehicles using non-leaded gasoline was evident during the investigated time span. This status of decreasing atmospheric Pb contamination also reflected the leaf Pb content of the studied trees. However, while the Pb content in the leaves decreased during the studied period, the isotopic ratio of Pb-206/Pb-207 concomitantly increased throughout the years. The obtained Pb isotopic ratios in the leaves indicated the major contribution of leaded gasoline to the leaf Pb content. The leaf Pb isotope ratios also followed the switch (from Australian - 2002/2003/2004 to Chinese origin - 2005/2006) of the Pb ore used as the gasoline lead additive through the investigated years. The results of this study indicated A. hippocastanum as more appropriate than Tilia spp. in biomonitoring the Pb source identification, showing more consistency of data obtained on leaf Pb isotopic composition and the isotopic ratios of gasoline used throughout all studied years.

AB  - The paper presents a model of seasonal water pricing (SWP) aimed primarily at diminishing excessive fresh water use in the city of Belgrade. Seasonal prices are determined on meteorological observations of the average monthly temperatures and the total monthly precipitations in the period from 2000 to 2010, and their deviations from the thirty year normal levels. The SWP operation is based on an ex-post price determination, and it conveys a signal to water users on resource scarcity. Not knowing ex ante how high their monthly bill is going to be, but aware of the price-setting rule, consumers will be in a situation to change their pattern of behaviour towards a more sustainable water use. Potential of the SWP model implementation are a) pushing consumers towards rationality, b) valuable resource conservation and c) enabling the water supply company to cover peak-season supply and the related costs. The SWP model has been created for the Belgrade Water and Wastewater Company, but might be easily implemented in all other cities with the same problems.
