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 ...
Possibility of Using Vitreous Enamel Waste in the Construction Industry as the Concept of Cleaner Production
(MDPI, 2023)
Waste vitreous enamels from the heating device production process were used for partial replacement of cement in the mortar and concrete production industry. This waste, due to the high content of heavy metals, is classified ...
Easy, Flexible and Standardizable Anti-Nascent Biofilm Activity Assay to Assess Implant Materials
(MDPI, 2023)
Medical implants have improved the quality of life of many patients. However, surgical intervention may eventually lead to implant microbial contamination. The aims of this research were to develop an easy, robust, ...
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 ...
One-Pot Syntheses of PET-Based Plasticizer and Tetramethyl Thiuram Monosulfide (TMTS) as Vulcanization Accelerator for Rubber Production
(MDPI, 2023)
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 ...
Mechanical Properties of Electrolytically Produced Copper Coatings Reinforced with Pigment Particles
(MDPI, 2023)
Copper from sulfate baths without and with added inorganic pigment particles based on strontium aluminate doped with europium and dysprosium (SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+) was electrodeposited on a brass cathode by a galvanostatic ...
Foam glasses made from green bottle glass and sugar beet factory lime as a foaming agent
(Elsevier Ltd., 2023)
Great waste production alongside limited natural resources represents huge environmental and economic problems worldwide. Sustainable waste management and industrial production can reduce pollution and gain some economic ...
The Removal of Phosphate from Aqueous Solutions by Sepiolite/ZrO2 Composites: Adsorption Behavior and Mechanism
(MDPI, 2023)
The sepiolite/ZrO2 composites were prepared by sepiolite (Sep) modification with zirconium propoxide in toluene at room temperature for 24 h (Sep–ZrI) or 95 °C for 4 h (sample Sep–ZrII). The efficiency of the obtained ...
Deterioration Characterization during Thermal Shock Testing
(International Institute for the Science of Sintering (IISS), 2023)
Thermal shock stability plays a great role in the selection of optimal refractory material. Different methods of characterization were developed for this purpose, including the implementation of nondestructive testing. ...
Potential of organic carbonates production for efficient carbon dioxide capture, transport and storage: Reaction performance with sodium hydroxide–ethanol mixtures
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023)
Carbon dioxide storage is one of the main long-term strategies for reducing carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere. A clear example is Norway's Longship project. If these projects should succeed, the transport of huge ...
