Distribution and mobility of heavy elements in floodplain agricultural soils along the Ibar River (Southern Serbia and Northern Kosovo). Chemometric investigation of pollutant sources and ecological risk assessment
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2016)
This work investigates the influence of a high-magnitude flood event on heavy elements (HEs) pollution and mobility in the agricultural soils along Ibar River in Southern Serbia and Northern Kosovo. The study area was one ...
Non-thermal plasma and ultrasound-assisted open lactic acid fermentation of distillery stillage
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2019)
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) ...
Estimation of NMVOC emissions using artificial neural networks and economical and sustainability indicators as inputs
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2016)
This paper describes the development of an artificial neural network (ANN) model based on economical and sustainability indicators for the prediction of annual non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) emissions in ...
Migration of cypermethrin to and through the PET containers and artificial neural network-based estimation of its emission
(Springer Verlag, 2019)
Nowadays, the extensive use of pesticides in crops production puts a significant challenge to minimize its side effects along with safe production, storage, and after-use treatment. This paper reports results related to ...
Prediction of municipal solid waste generation using artificial neural network approach enhanced by structural break analysis
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2017)
This paper presents the development of a general regression neural network (GRNN) model for the prediction of annual municipal solid waste (MSW) generation at the national level for 44 countries of different size, population ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Controllable synthesis of Fe3O4-wollastonite adsorbents for efficient heavy metal ions/oxyanions removal
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2019)
Iron oxide, in the form of magnetite (MG)-functionalized porous wollastonite (WL), was used as an adsorbent for heavy metal ions (cadmium and nickel) and oxyanions (chromate and phosphate) removal from water. The porous ...
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 ...
