Implementation of image analysis on thermal shock and cavitation resistance testing of refractory concrete
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
This paper presents monitoring of changes during thermal shock and cavitation testing for low cement concrete that was synthesized and sintered at 1600 degrees C for 3h. Water quench test was applied as an experimental ...
Determination of pesticides in surface and ground waters by liquid chromatography-electrospray-tandem mass spectrometry
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2010)
The sensitive multiresidual analytical method for simultaneous analysis of 14 most commonly used agricultural pesticides in Serbia was developed and optimized. The selected insecticides, fungicides and herbicides belong ...
The microwave-assisted synthesis of 5-arylazo-4,6-disubstituted-3-cyano-2-pyridone dyes
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
A novel protocol for the rapid synthesis of pyridone colorants under controlled microwave irradiation ill a dedicated reactor is described. Short reaction times, high isolated yields. and versatility for different substrates ...
Optimal conceptual design of processes with heterogeneous catalytic reactors
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2010)
This paper presents an optimisation-based method for the screening and conceptual design of processes with heterogeneous catalytic reactors. The method follows a multi-level approach to process synthesis to establish ...
On the systematic design and selection of optimal working fluids for Organic Rankine Cycles
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
This work presents the first approach to the systematic design and selection of optimal working fluids for Organic Rankine Cycles (ORCs) based on computer aided molecular design (CAMD) and process optimization techniques. ...
Extraction of sage (Salvia officinalis L.) by supercritical CO2: Kinetic data, chemical composition and selectivity of diterpenes
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2010)
The supercritical carbon dioxide (SFE) extraction of Dalmatian sage (Salvia officinalis L) was investigated and compared to extraction performed by Soxhlet ethanol-water (70:30) mixture extraction (SE) and hydrodistillation ...
Corrosion protection of aluminium pretreated by vinyltriethoxysilane in sodium chloride solution
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
The corrosion protection of vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) films on aluminium during exposure to 3% NaCl was investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potential-time measurements and optical microscopy ...
Microgel-based surface modifying system for stimuli-responsive functional finishing of cotton
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
An innovative strategy for functional finishing of textile materials is based on the incorporation of a thin layer of surface modifying systems (SMS) in the form of stimuli-sensitive microgels or hydrogels. Since the ...
Aqueous Pb sorption by synthetic and natural apatite: Kinetics, equilibrium and thermodynamic studies
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2010)
Natural apatites represent a cost effective soil amendment, which can be used for in situ reduction of lead bioavailability and mobility. In our previous work, we selected Lisina apatite (LA) as a promising natural mineral ...
Antibacterial activity of heavy metal-loaded natural zeolite
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2012)
The antibacterial activity of natural zeolitized tuffs containing 2.60 wt.% Cu2+, 1.47 Zn2+ or 0.52 Ni2+ were tested. Antibacterial activities of the zeolites against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were tested ...
