Application of experimental design for the optimization of artificial neural network-based water quality model: a case study of dissolved oxygen prediction
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2018)
This paper presents an application of experimental design for the optimization of artificial neural network (ANN) for the prediction of dissolved oxygen (DO) content in the Danube River. The aim of this research was to ...
Spatial and temporal distribution of pollution indices in marine surface sediments-a chemometric approach
(Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2021)
Concentrations of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn, and Fe measured at forty locations in the Boka Kotorska Bay were used to monitor the spatial and temporal quality of sediment and to assess surface sediment contamination ...
Facile fabrication of hybrid titanium(IV) isopropoxide/pozzolan nanosheets (TnS-Pz) of high photocatalytic activity: characterization and application for Cr(VI) reduction in an aqueous solution
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2021)
This paper presents the synthesis of a hybrid material through the use of natural pozzolan and titanium(IV) isopropoxide using the sol-gel method and its application in the photocatalytic hexavalent chromium reduction. The ...
Solid-phase extraction of multi-class pharmaceuticals from environmental water samples onto modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes followed by LC-MS/MS
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2017)
In this paper, pristine and chemically treated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were employed as solid-phase extraction sorbents for the isolation and enrichment of multi-class pharmaceuticals from the surface water ...
Bactericidal activity of Cu-, Zn-, and Ag-containing zeolites toward Escherichia coli isolates
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2017)
Two types of zeolites-natural clinoptilolite (NZ) and synthetic zeolite A (A)-were enriched with approx. 0.25 mmol of Cu(II), Zn(II), or Ag(I) ions, and the obtained materials (M-Z) were tested against three different ...
Sorption of selected pharmaceuticals and pesticides on different river sediments
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2016)
In the present work, the sorption ability of 17 pharmaceutical compounds, two metabolites, and 15 pesticides (34 target compounds in total) onto four different river sediments was investigated separately. Selected compounds ...
Mobility and sorption assessment of selected pesticides in alluvial aquifer
(Springer Verlag, 2019)
The objective of the paper was to use transport model of selected pesticides (carbendazim, acetamiprid and imidacloprid) in determination of linear sorption coefficients in alluvial aquifer. For constructing transport ...
Partitioning of particulate matter and elements of suburban continental aerosols between fine and coarse modes
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2018)
The results presented in this work demonstrate for the first time a distribution of elements in the spectral analysis of aerosols in the suburban continental Balkan Peninsula. Samples were collected in the suburban area ...
Arsenic removal by copper-impregnated natural mineral tufa part II: a kinetics and column adsorption study
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2019)
This batch and column kinetics study of arsenic removal utilized copper-impregnated natural mineral tufa (T-Cu(A-C)) under three ranges of particle size. Non-competitive kinetic data fitted by the Weber-Morris model and ...
