Corrosion Behavior of Nickel–Titanium Continuous-Casted Alloys
(MDPI, 2024)
Variations in the corrosion behavior of biomedical NiTi alloys in Cl− containing and acidic environments present a problem with their biological implantation. The objective of this research was to evaluate the synergy of ...
Spatio-Temporal Dynamics in Physico-Chemical Properties, Phytoplankton and Bacterial Diversity as an Indication of the Bovan Reservoir Water Quality
(MDPI AG, 2022)
The study aimed to investigate the physico-chemical properties as well as phytoplankton and bacterial community diversity of Bovan Lake reservoir in Serbia to gain insight into the seasonal dynamic of water quality. All ...
Transformation of Iron (III) Nitrate from an Aerosol by Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis and Hydrogen Reduction
(MDPI, 2023)
Due to their unique properties, iron nanoparticles find diverse applications across various
fields, including catalysis, electronics, wastewater treatment, and energy storage. Nano-iron particles
are mostly sub-micrometer ...
Regulatory Paradigm and Challenge for Blockchain Integration of Decentralized Systems: Example—Renewable Energy Grids
(MDPI, 2023)
Nowadays, fossil fuels are used in a clearly unsustainable way that can bring potentially catastrophic consequences. Electricity is currently delivered to end users by generation and energy transmission companies. Previous ...
Cellulose-Based Waste in a Close Loop as an Adsorbent for Removing Dyes from Textile Industry Wastewater
(MDPI, 2024)
In an attempt to reuse fibrous textile waste and, at the same time, to address dye pollution
in textile wastewater, waste cotton-based yarn was utilized as a cheap and sustainable adsorbent, as
well as a row material for ...
Spent Coffee Grounds, Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria, and Medicinal Plant Waste: The Biofertilizing Effect of High-Value Compost
(MDPI, 2024)
Composting of mixed medicinal plant waste was performed with the addition of mixture of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB), including Streptomyces sp., Paenybacillus sp., Bacillus sp., and Hymenobacter sp., and portions ...
Preparation and Characterization of Geopolymers Based on Metakaolin with the Addition of Organic Phase PVA
(MDPI, 2023)
Geopolymers have excellent physical and mechanical properties, so they can be used as a substitute for ordinary polymers. Geopolymers are ceramic materials, which exhibit the property of brittleness, which can be a limitation ...
KIT-5-Assisted Synthesis of Mesoporous SnO2 for High-Performance Humidity Sensors with a Swift Response/Recovery Speed
(MDPI, 2023)
Developing highly efficient semiconductor metal oxide (SMOX) sensors capable of accurate and fast responses to environmental humidity is still a challenging task. In addition to a not so pronounced sensitivity to relative ...
Black Pine (Pinus nigra) Essential Oil as a Green Corrosion Inhibitor for Carbon Steel
(MDPI, 2023)
In this work, the essential oil of black pine (Pinus nigra J. F. Arnold) was used for the first time as a natural, ecological, and sustainable corrosion inhibitor for the acid cleaning of carbon steel. The essential oil ...
Exposure Factors in Health Risk Assessment of Heavy Metal(loid)s in Soil and Sediment
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023)
Heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) play an important role in economic development since they are used in various branches of industry. However, all industrial activities emit HMs into the environment, where they are no longer useful ...
