In the current study a ternary Cu-Ge-Sb system has been experimentally assessed. Chemical andphase compositions of the alloy samples from three vertical sections Cu-GeSb, Ge-CuSb and Sb-CuGe were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS) and confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). Hardness of th...

A reliable operation of the equipment is primarily important for each installation. One of the measures of safe operation steam-boiler systems is purity pipes. Very acceptable method of determining the soiling pipe is a method of staining.In this paper is described the determination of soiling boiler tubes in power plant Ugljevik after a decade of ...

Based on relations for the maximum work at the closed thermodynamic system, the paper presents implementation of a general model for determining the minimum storage volume for compressed air. Due to the mechanical and thermodynamic imbalance of observed model, there are the conditions for obtaining the maximum work. Derived relations, which represe...

In this paper, the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution by biosorption ontoapricot shellshas been investigated through batch experiments. Apricot shells were chosen as alocally available and abundant waste from fruit juice industry. Methylene blue is common pollutantof waste waters from textile industry.The influence of initial MB c...

Fly ash is useful for a variety of applications, because it is a plaster or silicate or aluminosilicate material which is in an isolated form and in the presence of water is combined with calcium hydroxide (from lime, portland cement or dust from furnaces) and formed mixtures with the characteristics of the binder. In this project analyzed the poss...
