Development of advanced floating poly(lactic acid)-based materials for colored wastewater treatment
(Journal of Supercritical Fluids, 2021)
The release of industrial wastewater into the ecosystem prompted our research on the development of an efficient and biodegradable material that can be used for wastewater treatment. We optimized preparation of porous ...
Technologically Sustainable Route for Metals Valorization from Jarosite-PbAg Sludge
(Minerals, 2021)
By-products from zinc hydrometallurgy are classified as hazardous waste with strong leaching toxicities. Even though numerous research papers are dedicated to valorizing valuable metals in it, the primary management route ...
Novel composite scaffolds based on alginate and Mg-doped calcium phosphate fillers: Enhanced hydroxyapatite formation under biomimetic conditions
(Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B-Applied Biomaterials, 2021)
In the present study, we synthesized hydroxyapatite (HAP) powders followed by the production of alginate based macroporous scaffolds with the aim to imitate the natural bone structure. HAP powders were synthesized by using ...
Green pH- and magnetic-responsive hybrid hydrogels based on poly(methacrylic acid) and Eucalyptus wood nanocellulose for controlled release of ibuprofen
(Cellulose, 2021)
pH- and magnetic-sensitive hybrid hydrogels based on poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA), nanocellulose (NC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and magnetite particles (MN) were prepared as ibuprofen delivery system. NC was isolated ...
Optimization of modifier deposition on the alumina surface to enhance mechanical properties and cavitation resistance
(Springer, New York, 2020)
Composites based on poly(methyl methacrylate), dimethyl itaconate matrix and alumina particles were prepared. Ferrous oxide-doped alumina particles (Al2O3Fe) and commercial alumina nanoparticles (Al(2)O(3)n) modified with ...
Oxidized Hemp Fibers with Simultaneously Increased Capillarity and Reduced Moisture Sorption as Suitable Textile Material for Advanced Application in Sportswear
(Fibers and Polymers, 2021)
Applications of hemp fibers, as a promising natural material in the textile field, mostly require improved fiber properties. In this paper, the oxidation of hemp fibers with potassium permanganate was applied to reduce the ...
Agricultural waste as a source of peroxidase for wastewater treatment: Insight in kinetics and process parameters optimization for anthraquinone dye removal
(Environmental Technology & Innovation, 2021)
The number of different technologies available for colored wastewater treatment shows the vastness of the issue. Finding the most feasible one, yet taking into account the cost, the efficiency and eco-friendliness is like ...
Modification of PET and PA fabrics with alginate and copper oxides nanoparticles
(Composite Interfaces, 2021)
The aim of this study was to fabricate novel antimicrobial nanocomposite materials by in-situ syntheses of Cu-based nanoparticles on PET and PA fabrics. The synthesis comprised three steps: (i) modification of PET and PA ...
Electrokinetic properties of chemically modified jute fabrics / Elektrokinetička svojstva hemijski modifikovane tkanine od jute
(Serbian Chemical Society, 2020)
In this work, the electrokinetic properties of alkali and oxidatively modified jute fabrics were studied. In contrast to the control fabric, chemically modified jute fabrics had a small positive zeta potential in the basic ...
Extraction of phenolic compounds from agro-industrial wastes and evaluation of their antioxidative potential
(Skopje, Macedonia : Consulting and Training Center - KEY, 2021)
Constant world population growth imposes the need for the production of more food, and as a consequence, has an increase in the organic-rich wastes. These agro-industrial wastes represent problem from the environmental ...
