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 ...
The geochemistry model of the surface sediment determined by using ED-XRF technique: a case study of the Boka Kotorska bay, Adriatic Sea
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2016)
The spatial distribution of major oxides (Na2O, K2O, SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, CaO, MgO, MnO, TiO2, P2O5) and numerous elements (Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Pb, Sn, Sb, Ba, Sr, Br, Rb, Zr, Mo, Cs, Y, V, Ga, La, U, Th, Nb, W, Sc, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
The impacts of seawater physicochemical parameters and sediment metal contents on trace metal concentrations in musselsa chemometric approach
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2018)
The concentrations of Al, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sr, Zn, and Hg were studied in Mytilus galloprovincialis collected from the coastal area of Montenegro. The impact of seawater temperature, salinity, dissolved ...
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 ...
