AB  - Maple syrup, a popular natural sweetener has a high content of sucrose, whose consumption is linked to different health issues such as obesity and diabetes. Hence, within this paper, the conversion of sucrose to prebiotics (fructo-oligosaccharides, FOS) was proposed as a promising approach to obtaining a healthier, value-added product. Enzymatic conversion was optimized with respect to key experimental factors, and thereafter derived immobilized preparation of fructosyltransferase (FTase) from Pectinex® Ultra SP-L (FTase-epoxy Purolite, 255 IU/g support) was successfully utilized to produce novel functional product in ten consecutive reaction cycles. The product, obtained under optimal conditions (60 ◦C, 7.65 IU/mL, 12 h), resulted in 56.0% FOS, 16.7% sucrose, and 27.3% monosaccharides of total carbohydrates, leading to a 1.6-fold reduction in caloric content. The obtained products` prebiotic potential toward the probiotic strain Lactobacillus plantarum 299v was demonstrated. The changes in physico-chemical and sensorial characteristics were esteemed as negligible.

AB  - Providing structural information on drug-like compounds is a significant step in efforts to develop innovative drugs with balanced solubility, cell permeability and target binding. In this paper, a new cyclohexane-5-spirohydantoin tethered with a 4‑tert-butylbenzoyl group was synthesized and its crystal structure was determined using the single crystal X-ray diffraction. The Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to gain a preliminary insight into the proportion and nature of the intermolecular interactions in the crystal structure, while their quantitative description is further presented in terms of a systematic analysis of dimeric motifs representing different recognition modes. A combination of N–H∙∙∙O and C(sp3)–H∙∙∙O hydrogen bonds, C(sp3)–H∙∙∙π, lone-pair∙∙∙π and π∙∙∙π stacking interactions links the molecules into a bilayer having two carbonyl O atoms exposed to the exterior. Further stacking of the bilayers occurs through C(sp3)–H∙∙∙O hydrogen bonds involving these O atoms as acceptors, C(sp3)–H∙∙∙π and π∙∙∙π stacking interactions between the phenyl groups. The molecular electrostatic potential surface map reveals that the carbonyl O atoms of the hydantoin ring and the phenyl ring are electrophilic centers, while the N1–H1 group is a nucleophilic center. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies were used to semiquantitatively estimate the global reactivity descriptors suggesting the soft nature of the molecule.

AB  - The implementation of the liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) technology for efficient energy storage requires the development of a reliable kinetic model for both hydrogenation and dehydrogenation processes. In this research study, the catalytic hydrocarbon saturation for a dibenzyltoluene (DBT) mixture solution, containing dibenzylbenzene (DBB), dibenzylethylbenzene (DBEB) and impurities has been performed in the presence of Ru/Al2O3 particles. The influence of different reaction conditions, such as temperature, pressure, initial reactant concentration, catalyst amount and stirring speed has been examined. A measurement-based system micro-kinetics, based on the Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism with dissociative H2 surface adsorption, has been derived. H2 thermodynamic solubility equilibrium was defined through Henry's law. The adsorbing, desorption and reactivity of inert solvent molecules was not considered to be relevant. The mass transfer resistance over 1000 rpm stirring speed was negligible. Relative- and mean squared error of representation were 40.9% and 1.00×10−4, respectively. Expressions gave an excellent data prediction for the profile period trends with a relatively accurate estimation of H2 intermediates' rate selectivity, H2-covered area approximation and pathway rate-determining steps. Due to the lack of commercially available standard chemical compounds for quantitative analysis techniques, a novel experiment-based numerical calibration method was developed. Mean field (micro)kinetics represent an advancement in the mesoscale mechanistic understanding of physical interface phenomena. This also enables catalysis structure–activity relationships, unlocking the methodology for new LOHC reaching beyond traditional, such as ammonia, methanol and formate, which do not release H2 alone. Integrated multiscale simulations could include fluidics later on.

AB  - Pesticides used in coffee cultivation may remain behind and pose a risk to humans even after various processing stages of coffee beans (washing, drying, roasting, and grinding). In addition to pesticides applied to battle pests and diseases, mepiquat formation occurs during roasting. A comprehensive LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS multi-residue screening approach to determine pesticides in coffee was used in this study. Residues were extracted using the QuEChERS method and analyzed using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mass spectrometry after chromatographic separations. Good linearity (r2˃0.9919), recovery (80.2–118%), and RSD (≤19%) were obtained for the procedure including sample preparation and both instrumental techniques. Nine residues were identified as commonly present in coffee samples collected from supermarkets in Serbia. The human intake risk of pesticides was categorized and prioritized using the matrix ranking scheme. Also, health risk assessment was conducted by calculating acute and chronic hazard indices. Multi-residues were present in 79.2% of samples, whereas mepiquat chloride (88.9%) and permethrin (81.9%) were the most detected residues. Risk ranking classified mepiquat chloride, permethrin, and methiocarb sulfone in a high-risk group. On the other hand, the human health risk assessment indicated no risks in the short- and long-term and no cumulative chronic risk.

AB  - This study focuses on the development of bioactive materials using environmentally friendly techniques, renewable, biocompatible, and biodegradable polysaccharide, as well as natural bioactive compounds (NBCs) found in plant extracts. First, cornstarch aerogels with a porosity of 86 % and a specific surface area of 225 m2/g were produced via supercritical CO2- assisted drying. Further, thymol, citronellol, carvacrol, and eugenol were incorporated into the aerogels by supercritical CO2- assisted impregnation, which allowed variation in loadings of NBCs (12.8–17.6 %). Interaction between cornstarch aerogels and NBCs determined impregnation rate, pore wall thickness (in the range 18–95 nm), liquid absorption capacity (from 265 to 569 %), dehydration mass loss, and release in phosphate-buffered saline. Controlled release of NBCs was maintained over a 3-day period. Moreover, impregnated aerogels showed a significant antioxidant effect with the highest value for DPPH radical inhibition of 25.5 % determined for the aerogels impregnated with eugenol. Notable antimicrobial activity against tested Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria, and fungi was also observed, being the highest for thymol-loaded aerogel with the diameter of the inhibition zones of up to 37.5 mm. This work shows a promising green approach for the production of bioactive two-component starch-based materials for potential applications in skin infection treatment.

AB  - Anthropogenic activities predominantly affect environmental Pb pollution, especially during waste lead-acid battery (LAB) recycling operations. In this study, the presence of Pb and nine other potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in the soil at an abandoned LAB recycling site was investigated. The focus was on spatial and vertical distributions and potential health issues related to PTEs. Average concentrations of Cd, As, Hg, Pb, Al, Zn, Cu, and Sb were elevated at all investigated soil depths, whereas the concentrations of Zn, Cu, and Sb were significant only on the soil surface. Positive matrix factorization, correlation and cluster analyses, as well as self-organizing maps, identified four primary pollution sources: recycling activities (Cd, Hg, Pb, and Sb), mixed anthropogenic sources (Zn and Cu), the soil parent material (As, Cr, and Ni), and surface runoff combined with sand application (Al and pH). While the non-carcinogenic risk results revealed a negligible risk for adults, the hazard index (HI) values for children were greater than one in 26% of the samples. For adults and children, the total carcinogenic risk (TCR) values were acceptable for 98% and 94% of the samples, respectively. Geospatial analysis identified the main hotspot in the battery disposal area. Source-specific non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks were most influenced by recycling activities. Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) of total HI for children showed that the risk value exceeded the threshold level (HI > 1) at the 10th percentile, whereas the maximum value of total HI for adults was 0.2. Regarding carcinogenic risk, the TCR values at the 95th percentile of all four sources for adults and children were below the limit value (1 × 10−4), indicating a low probability of cancer development.

Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) of total HI for children showed that the risk value exceeded the threshold level (HI > 1) at the 10th percentile, whereas the maximum value of total HI for adults was 0.2. Regarding carcinogenic risk, the TCR values at the 95th percentile of all four sources for adults and children were below the limit value (1 × 10−4), indicating a low probability of cancer development.",

AB  - The objective of this study was to demonstrate the potential utilization of fly ash (FA), wood ash (WA), and metakaolin (MK) in developing new alkali-activated materials (AAMs) for the removal of cadmium ions from waste water. The synthesis of AAMs involved the dissolution of solid precursors, FA, WA, and MK, by a liquid activator (Na2SiO3 and NaOH). In concentrated solutions of the activator, the formation of an aluminosilicate gel structure occurred. DRIFT spectroscopy of the AAMs indicated main vibration bands between 1036 cm−1 and 996 cm−1, corresponding to Si-O-Si/Si-O-Al bands. Shifting vibration bands were seen at 1028 cm−1 to 1021 cm−1, indicating that the Si-O-Si/Si-O-Al bond is elongating, and the bond angle is decreasing. Based on the X-ray diffraction results, alkali-activated samples consist of an amorphous phase and residual mineral phases. The characteristic “hump” of an amorphous phase in the range from 20 to 40° 2θ was observed in FA and in all AWAFA samples. By the XRD patterns of the AAMs obtained by the activation of a solid three-component system, a new crystalline phase, gehlenite, was identified. The efficiency of AAMs in removing cadmium ions from aqueous solutions was tested under various conditions. The highest values of adsorption capacity, 64.76 mg/g (AWAFA6), 67.02 mg/g (AWAFAMK6), and 72.84 mg/g mg/g (AWAMK6), were obtained for materials activated with a 6 M NaOH solution in the alkali activator. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm and pseudo-second kinetic order provided the best fit for all investigated AAMs.

AB  - Nanofibers made of natural proteins have caught the increasing attention of food scientists because of their edibility, renewability, and possibility for various applications. The objective of this study was to prepare nanofibers based on pumpkin leaf protein concentrate (LPC) as a by-product from some crops and gelatin as carriers for vitamin B12 using the electrospinning technique. The starting mixtures were analyzed in terms of viscosity, density, surface tension, and electrical conductivity. Scanning electron micrographs of the obtained nanofibers showed a slight increase in fiber average diameter with the addition of LPC and vitamin B12 (~81 nm to 109 nm). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy verified the physical blending of gelatin and LPC without phase separation. Thermal analysis showed the fibers had good thermal stability up to 220 °C, highlighting their potential for food applications, regardless of the thermal processing. Additionally, the newly developed fibers have good storage stability, as detected by low water activity values ranging from 0.336 to 0.376. Finally, the release study illustrates the promising sustained release of vitamin B12 from gelatin-LPC nanofibers, mainly governed by the Fickian diffusion mechanism. The obtained results implied the potential of these nanofibers in the development of functional food products with improved nutritional profiles.

AB  - This study aimed to (1) comparatively analyze properties of Sr- and Mg-substituted hydroxyapatite (HAP)-based dental inserts; (2) evaluate insert bonding to restorative materials, and (3) evaluate the effect of doped HAP inserts on fracture resistance (FR) of human molars with large occlusal restorations. By ion-doping with Sr or Mg, 3 insert types were obtained and characterized using XRD, SEM, Vickers hardness and fracture toughness. Shear bond strength (SBS) was determined between acid etched or unetched inserts and following materials: Maxcem cement (Kerr); Filtek Z250 (3M) bonded with Single Bond Universal (SBU; 3M) or Clearfil Universal (Cf; Kuraray). Modified Class I cavities were prepared in 16 intact molars and restored using insert + composite or composite only (control) (n = 8/group). FR of restored molars was determined by static load until fracture upon thermal cycling. Fracture toughness was similar between Sr/Mg-doped inserts (0.94–1.04 MPam 1/2 p = .429). Mg-doped inserts showed greater hardness (range 4.78–5.15 GPa) than Sr6 inserts (3.74 ± 0.31 GPa; p < .05). SBS for SBU and Cf adhesives (range 7.19–15.93 MPa) was higher than for Maxcem (range 3.07–5.95 MPa) (p < .05). There was no significant difference in FR between molars restored with insert-containing and control restorations (3.00 ± 0.30 kN and 3.22 ± 0.42 kN, respectively; p > .05). HAP-based inserts doped with Mg/Sr had different composition and mechanical properties. Adhesive bonding to inserts resulted in greater bond strength than cementation, which may be improved by insert acid-etching. Ion-doped HAP inserts did not affect FR of restored molars. In conclusion, HAP-based dental inserts may potentially replace dentin in large cavities, without affecting fracture resistance of restored teeth.

AB  - The occurrence of potentially toxic elements (PTEs), including twelve heavy metal(loid)s (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Hg, As, Co, V, Fe, Mn), fluoride (F−), and nitrate (NO3−) was evaluated in groundwater in the copper mining and smelter area of Bor city (south Carpathian, eastern Serbia). Groundwater samples were analyzed to determine the extent of pollution, identify natural and anthropogenic input of PTEs, and estimate potential human health risks due to exposure to these substances. The results revealed that the groundwater in the study area was highly contaminated with PTEs, particularly Cu and Zn. Multivariate analysis supported the natural and anthropogenic origin of PTEs, with Fe, Mn, and F− classified as naturally occurring, NO3− resulting from agricultural activities, while other PTEs were linked to smelter/mining processes. Geospatial mapping discovered several hotspots with potential high non-cancer and cancer risks to humans through ingestion pathway. From the studied PTEs, As is the most health risk contributing toxic element. The source-specific probabilistic risk assessment indicated the most significant contribution to the hazard index and total cancer risk from accidental leakage of metallurgical wastewater and wastewater from open mine pits. Monte Carlo analysis identified the human body weight and the ingestion rate as the most sensitive risk parameters. The study underscores the need for stringent environmental management measures, emphasizing the critical role of source-specific risk assessments in mitigating potential hazards associated with metallurgical wastewater and open mine pits.

AB  - Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as materials with determined levels of selectivity and specificity for designated analytes have recently gained much attention in various application fields. However, with the growing adoption of green analytical chemistry (GAC) principles, it is essential to investigate the greenness of MIP synthesis and its subsequent application in sample preparation, as well as to evaluate the "green"nature of the developed analytical methodologies, such as dispersive solid-phase microextraction (DSPME). Accordingly, the main objective of this research was to evaluate the greenness of MIP-based glycidyl methacrylate synthesis and MIP use as a DSPME sorbent prior to high-performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). The green perspective of MIP-DSPME prior to HPLC-MS was investigated using various analytical metric tools such as the Analytical Eco-Scale, the Green Analytical Procedure Index, and Analytical GREEnness (AGREE). Since these analytical tools are not fully implementable for the assessment of the greenness of the MIP synthesis, some alternative approaches were used to optimize the synthesis parameters to make the MIP DSPME sorbent as close as possible to the GAC principles. The calculated AGREE score (0.62) and 91 points in the Analytical Eco-Scale for the proposed DSPME technique using MIP indicated a high level of greenness.

AB  - Population growth, urbanization, industry, floods, and agriculture globally degrade groundwater in river plains, necessitating action for its quality assessment and management. Hence, a comprehensive methodology, including hydrogeochemical facies (Piper, Gibbs), irrigation indices (SAR, Wilcox), entropy-weighted water quality index (EWQI), positive matrix factorization (PMF), and Monte Carlo simulation of source-specific health risks was used in this study to analyze groundwater in the Morava river plain (Serbia). The results revealed a prevalent Ca–Mg–HCO3 groundwater type, influenced by water–rock interactions. Although groundwater was found suitable for irrigation, only 66.7 % of the samples were considered drinkable. Agricultural activities, natural processes, and municipal wastewater were identified as primary pollution sources. The incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) and hazard index (HI) threshold exceedance for adults and children ranged from 8.5 % to 39 % of the samples, with arsenic identified as the most risk-contributing contaminant. These findings provide valuable insights for researchers studying groundwater vulnerability in river plains.

AB  - This study presents an innovative approach for the reuse and recycling of waste material, brewer’s spent grain (BSG) for
creating a novel green biocatalyst. The same BSG was utilized in several consecutive steps: initially, it served as a substrate
for the cultivation and production of laccase by a novel isolated fungal strain, Coriolopsis trogii 2SMKN, then, it was reused
as a carrier for laccase immobilization, aiding in the process of azo dye decolorization and fnally, reused as recycled BSG
for the second successful laccase immobilization for six guaiacol oxidation, contributing to a zero-waste strategy. The novel
fungal strain produced laccase with a maximum activity of 171.4 U/g after 6 days of solid-state fermentation using BSG
as a substrate. The obtained laccase exhibited excellent performance in the decolorization of azo dyes, both as a free and
immobilized, at high temperatures, without addition of harmful mediators, achieving maximum decolorization efciencies
of 99.0%, 71.2%, and 61.0% for Orange G (OG), Congo Red, and Eriochrome Black T (EBT), respectively. The immobilized
laccase on BSG was successfully reused across fve cycles of azo dye decolorization process. Notably, new green biocatalyst
outperformed commercial laccase from Aspergillus spp. in the decolorization of OG and EBT. GC-MS and LC-MS revealed
azo-dye degradation products and decomposition pathway. This analysis was complemented by antimicrobial and phytotoxicity tests, which confrmed the non-toxic nature of the degradation products, indicating the potential for safe environmental
disposal.

AB  - This study aimed to (1) comparatively analyze properties of Sr- and Mg-substituted
hydroxyapatite (HAP)-based dental inserts; (2) evaluate insert bonding to restorative
materials, and (3) evaluate the effect of doped HAP inserts on fracture resistance
(FR) of human molars with large occlusal restorations. By ion-doping with Sr or Mg,
3 insert types were obtained and characterized using XRD, SEM, Vickers hardness and
fracture toughness. Shear bond strength (SBS) was determined between acid etched or
unetched inserts and following materials: Maxcem cement (Kerr); Filtek Z250
(3M) bonded with Single Bond Universal (SBU; 3M) or Clearfil Universal (Cf; Kuraray).
Modified Class I cavities were prepared in 16 intact molars and restored using insert
+ composite or composite only (control) (n = 8/group). FR of restored molars was
determined by static load until fracture upon thermal cycling. Fracture toughness was
similar between Sr/Mg-doped inserts (0.94–1.04 MPam 1/2 p = .429). Mg-doped
inserts showed greater hardness (range 4.78–5.15 GPa) than Sr6 inserts (3.74
± 0.31 GPa; p < .05). SBS for SBU and Cf adhesives (range 7.19–15.93 MPa) was higher
than for Maxcem (range 3.07–5.95 MPa) (p < .05). There was no significant difference
in FR between molars restored with insert-containing and control restorations (3.00
± 0.30 kN and 3.22 ± 0.42 kN, respectively; p > .05). HAP-based inserts doped with
Mg/Sr had different composition and mechanical properties. Adhesive bonding to
inserts resulted in greater bond strength than cementation, which may be improved by
insert acid-etching. Ion-doped HAP inserts did not affect FR of restored molars. In conclusion,
HAP-based dental inserts may potentially replace dentin in large cavities, without
affecting fracture resistance of restored teeth.

The surface of the producedsilica particles was modified using three different silanes: 3-trimethoxysilylpropyl methacrylate (MEMO), trimethoxyvinylsilane (TMEVS), and 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS). The microhardness test method was used to investigatethe mechanical properties of synthesized composite material with variations in dwell times and applied loads. Optimization ofcomposite microhardness value prediction in function of synthesized parameters (type of modification of silica particles) andmeasurement parameters (applied loads and dwell times) was done using the method of response surface methodology (RSM)regression analysis. The maximal microhardness values (0.459 GPa) were obtained of type modification of silica particles withvinyl with 80% confidence for 120 experimental variables. This method can be used to choose the optimal dwell time and loadfor comparison of measurements between different composite materials and to enable the choice of the material in terms ofoptimization of the quality of reinforcement and quality of interphase determined by surface modification.

AB  - This study aimed to investigate the adsorption of As(V), phosphate, and textile dye Acid Green 25 (AG-25) on layered double hydroxides Mn-Fe_LDH and corresponding membranes (wCell/Mn-Fe_LDH). The wCell membrane, derived from waste tobacco boxes, was formed by cross-linking of epoxy and amino modified cellulose fibers with epoxy modified Mn-Fe_LDH and lysine as cross-linker. Structural and morphological analyses were conducted for Mn-Fe_LDH and wCell/Mn-Fe_LDH. The batch system explored pH, contact time, temperature, and initial concentration effects on wCell/Mn-Fe_LDH adsorption efficiency. Adsorption capacities of 82.71, 106.9, and 130.3 mg g−1 were achieved for As(V), phosphate, and AG-25, respectively, indicating effective anionic species removal. Kinetic analysis suggested intraparticle diffusion as the rate-limiting step. Thermodynamic parameters and ionic strength effects indicated a physisorption mechanism for AG-25 and surface complexation for As(V) and phosphate. Biodegradation experiments after five adsorption/desorption cycles revealed the membrane’s decomposition, with phosphate’s strong bonding releasing essential elements valuable for soil fertilization. Effluent wastewater treatment demonstrated low environmental impact through the formation of insoluble As(V) salts and photocatalytic dye degradation.

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  - The Polymer group of the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy University of Belgrade deals with environment-sensitive hydrogel as carriersfor biomedical applications, including drug delivery, wound healing, and regenerative medicine. The first hydrogel generation synthesized in our labs was discs made of polyacrylamide and its derivatives. The synthesis was at higher temperatures (50 °C), with traditional crosslinker, N, N’-methylenebisacrylamide, and persulphate/pyrosulphate as initiator. Due to the growing demands for environmental sustainability, the general approach changed to reduce petrochemical raw materials and prepare eco-friendly materials focusing on 1) renewable polymers, initiators, and crosslinkers and 2) the application of simple, cost-effective, and eco-friendly approaches in hydrogel synthesis. To obtain the second hydrogel generation, we use renewable polymers: polysaccharides, proteins, and polyhydroxyalkanoates [1]. Still, the mechanical strength was weak. Hence, the applicationof carboxylic acids, methacrylic and itaconic, and N-isopropyl acrylamide improves mechanical properties and enhances the environmental stimuli of the carriers. Instead of traditional crosslinkers -organic molecules, we gave the advantage to plant extracts like genipin, sodium tripolyphosphate, citric acid, and calcium chloride. We made beads, microgels, aerogels, discs, films, and cylinders sensitive to pH, temperature, magnetic field, or specific molecules such as glucose. Facing an everyday challenge, improving drug delivery routes, especially for poorly water-soluble drugs, and finding an alternative to traditional antibiotics, encapsulation, and controlled release remain a challenge. Therefore, we used a mild condition (e.g., deep coating) to encapsulate/release traditional water-soluble and poorly water-soluble drugs, proteins, phenolic compounds, or supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) for thymol, carvacrol, and eugenol, a promising alternative for traditional antibiotics [2]. Furthermore, we reduced the hydrogel production temperature to ambient conditions and made a simple and cost-effective production process that doesn't require special equipment. The promising results we got pushed us further. So, the current research focuses on the encapsulation/controlled release of antioxidant phenolic compounds extracted from orange peel waste by applying ultrasonic-assisted extraction and deep eutectic solvent(DES) based on glycerol: urea: water. We use a new initiator system based on vitamin C and H2O2to polymerizea methacrylic acid[3]that could be useful for other monomers.As a concluding remark, we achieved significant progress in hydrogels encouragingus to continue further.

AB  - A great deal of interest is directed towards g-C3N4 (CN) for the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI), due to its high stability in acidic conditions and medium band gap (~2,7 eV), but its practical application is limited because of the high recombination rate of electrons and holes. Sulfuric acid treatment is considered as one of the methods for optimizing properties of CN by certain surface and possibly structure modifications which would lead to an increased specific surface area (Sp) and more active sites, anchoring electronegative groups to enhance charge separation, exfoliated bulk CN into the nanosheets, etc. The aim of this research was to investigate the influence of H2SO4 concentration and other experimental conditions (temperature and time) on physicochemical properties and photocatalytic efficiency of CN.

abstract = "A great deal of interest is directed towards g-C3N4 (CN) for the photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI), due to its high stability in acidic conditions and medium band gap (~2,7 eV), but its practical application is limited because of the high recombination rate of electrons and holes. Sulfuric acid treatment is considered as one of the methods for optimizing properties of CN by certain surface and possibly structure modifications which would lead to an increased specific surface area (Sp) and more active sites, anchoring electronegative groups to enhance charge separation, exfoliated bulk CN into the nanosheets, etc. The aim of this research was to investigate the influence of H2SO4 concentration and other experimental conditions (temperature and time) on physicochemical properties and photocatalytic efficiency of CN.",

AB  - The surfaces of natural (NZ) and zeolite/iron oxyhydroxide composite (ZFe) samples were analysed by means of inverse gas chromatography (IGC) using the adsorption data of organic non-polar and polar probes, in the infinite and finite-dilution regimes, in the temperature range 483-513 K. The dispersive components of the free energy of adsorption, γS, determined by the Gray method, decreased with increasing temperature for both zeolites. The specific interactions were characterised by the specific free adsorption energy change, ΔGaS, the specific enthalpy change of adsorption, ΔHaS, as well as the donor and acceptor interaction parameters (KA, KD) and the basic character of the NZ and ZFe was evidenced. The adsorption isotherms of n-hexane, benzene, chloroform and tetrahydrofuran (THF) were determined under finite surface coverage and used to estimate the specific surface area and the adsorption energy distribution. The adsorption capacity of the ZFe was higher than for NZ for all the investigated adsorbates. The specific surface areas and pore size distributions were also determined using nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, i.e., the BET method. It was observed that the nature of the adsorbate and the properties of the solid surface of the initial and modified samples governed the uptake of adsorbates.
AB  - Применом инверзне гасне хроматографије, испитана су површинска својства природног зеолита (NZ) и композита зеолита и гвожђе-оксихидроксида (ZFe), коришћењем поларних и неполарних проба у условима нулте и коначне прекривености у температурном опсегу 483–513 K. Вредности дисперзивне компоненте слободне енергије адсорпције, γS, одређене методом Греја, опадају са порастом температуре за оба зеолита.

Капацитет адсорпције узорка ZFe је био већи у односу на капацитета узорка NZ, за све испитане адсорбенте. Специфична површина узорака као и расподела величине мезопора одређени су применом адсорпионе/десорпционе изотерме за гасовити азот, односно применом BET методе.
