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 ...
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 ...
Exposure Factors in Health Risk Assessment of Heavy Metal(loid)s in Soil and Sediment
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023)
Heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) play an important role in economic development since they are used in various branches of industry. However, all industrial activities emit HMs into the environment, where they are no longer useful ...
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 ...
Black Pine (Pinus nigra) Essential Oil as a Green Corrosion Inhibitor for Carbon Steel
(MDPI, 2023)
In this work, the essential oil of black pine (Pinus nigra J. F. Arnold) was used for the first time as a natural, ecological, and sustainable corrosion inhibitor for the acid cleaning of carbon steel. The essential oil ...
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, ...
Ability of Deep Eutectic Solvent Modified Oat Straw for Cu(II), Zn(II), and Se(IV) Ions Removal
(MDPI, 2023)
In the proposed study, agro-waste biomass oat straw (OS) was considered a potential adsorbent for Cu(II), Zn(II), and Se(IV) removal from aqueous solutions. In order to obtain material with better adsorption abilities, the ...
Indium Recovery from Jarosite Pb–Ag Tailings Waste (Part 1)
(MDPI, 2023)
The processing of zinc ore using hydrometallurgical methods leads to the formation and accumulation of a by-product called jarosite, which contains concentrated precious metals. In this study, we propose the recovery of ...
The Effect of Acrylate on the Properties and Machinability of Alumina Ceramics
(International Institute for the Science of Sintering (IISS), 2023)
Effect of methyl methacrylate (MMA) as a binder and heating treatment were investigated to improve green alumina compacts machinability. Properties of green compacts and their corresponding sintered samples prepared with ...
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. ...
