Synthesis of Silica Particles Using Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis Method
(Metals, 2021)
Silica has sparked strong interest in hydrometallurgy, catalysis, the cement industry, and paper coating. The synthesis of silica particles was performed at 900 degrees C using the ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) method. ...
The Influence of Sm Content on the Surface Morphology and Corrosion Behavior of Zn-Co-Sm Composite Coatings
(MDPI, 2023)
The influence of samarium, as an additional alloying element, on the morphology and corrosion performance of the Zn-Co-Sm alloy electrodeposited coatings, was investigated by scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy ...
Transformation of Iron (III) Nitrate from an Aerosol by Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis and Hydrogen Reduction
(MDPI, 2023)
Due to their unique properties, iron nanoparticles find diverse applications across various
fields, including catalysis, electronics, wastewater treatment, and energy storage. Nano-iron particles
are mostly sub-micrometer ...
Influence of Alkyd Composite Coatings with Polyaniline Doped with Different Organic Acids on the Corrosion of Mild Steel
(MDPI, 2023)
Composite coatings prepared by mixing 5 wt.% polyaniline with commercial alkyd-based paints were applied on carbon steel. The polyaniline emeraldine chloride salt was prepared by procedure recommended by IUPAC, including ...
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 ...
Application of the Composite Hardness Models in the Analysis of Mechanical Characteristics of Electrolytically Deposited Copper Coatings: The Effect of the Type of Substrate
(Metals, 2021)
The mechanical characteristics of electrochemically deposited copper coatings have been examined by application of two hardness composite models: the Chicot-Lesage (C-L) and the Cheng-Gao (C-G) models. The 10, 20, 40 and ...
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 ...
Dispersive Solid–Liquid Microextraction Based on the Poly(HDDA)/Graphene Sorbent Followed by ICP-MS for the Determination of Rare Earth Elements in Coal Fly Ash Leachate
(MDPI, 2022)
A dispersive solid-phase microextraction (DSPME) sorbent consisting of poly(1,6-hexanedi-ol diacrylate)-based polymer microspheres, with embedded graphene microparticles (poly(HDDA)/g-raphene), was synthesized by microfluidic ...
Methacrylate-Based Polymeric Sorbents for Recovery of Metals from Aqueous Solutions
(MDPI, 2022)
The industrialization and urbanization expansion have increased the demand for precious and rare earth elements (REEs). In addition, environmental concerns regarding the toxic effects of heavy metals on living organisms ...
Application of the Flotation Tailings as an Alternative Material for an Acid Mine Drainage Remediation: A Case Study of the Extremely Acidic Lake Robule (Serbia)
(MDPI, Basel, 2020)
Flotation tailings rich in carbonate minerals from the tailings deposit of the copper mine Majdanpek (Serbia) were applied for neutralization of the water taken from the extremely acidic Lake Robule (Bor, Serbia). Tests ...
