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 ...
The surprising discovery of two new subterranean Leptodirini of the genus Spelaeobates Müller, 1901 (Coleoptera, Leiodidae, Cholevinae) from Croatia after more than a century
(Pensoft Publishers, 2023)
Two new subterranean leiodid taxa of the genus Spelaeobates Müller, 1901 from three pits in northern Dalmatia (Croatia), S. coriniensis sp. nov. and S. coriniensis nonveilleri ssp. nov., are described. The morphological ...
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 ...
Thermodynamics of microbial consortia: Enthalpies and Gibbs energies of microorganism live matter and macromolecules of E. coli, G. oxydans, P. fluorescens, S. thermophilus and P. chrysogenum
(Elsevier B.V., 2024)
Every microorganism represents a biothermodynamic system, characterized by an empirical formula and thermodynamic properties of biosynthesis. Gibbs energy of biosynthesis influences the multiplication rate of a microorganism. ...
Revalorization of Cotton and Cotton/Elastane Knitted Fabric Waste
(Korean Fiber Society, 2023)
The present paper demonstrates a simple way for revalorization of differently softened cotton and cotton/elastane knitted fabric waste collected from the textile industry. Such waste was used as an adsorbent for Congo Red ...
Mechanical Properties of Electrolytically Produced Copper Coatings Reinforced with Pigment Particles
(MDPI, 2023)
Copper from sulfate baths without and with added inorganic pigment particles based on strontium aluminate doped with europium and dysprosium (SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+) was electrodeposited on a brass cathode by a galvanostatic ...
Antimicrobial and UV protective chitosan/lignin multilayer nanocoating with immobilized silver nanoparticles
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2023)
Poor antimicrobial activity and lack of protection against UV irradiation are weaknesses of cotton textiles. In an attempt to impart superior antimicrobial and UV-protective properties to cotton, layer-by-layer deposition ...
Mechanical properties of acrylate matrix composite reinforced with manganese-aluminum layered double hydroxide
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2023)
Acrylate polymers are used in several applications such as dentistry, medicine, and industry. The modification of their properties using the reinforcement is of key importance for the possible applications. Layered double ...
Synthesis of novel pyridinium based compounds and their possible application in dye-sensitized solar cells
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
Five novel D-π-A structured pyridinium based compounds, bearing different electron-donating units were synthesized, minutely characterized, and their solvatochromic and electronic properties were investigated. Subsequently, ...
