Slideway oils have application in many industries, such as automotive, food, beverage, packaging, and considerable amount is used in small machinery workshops. Market analyses have shown that most common viscosity grade is ISO VG 68, followed by ISO VG 220. Because water soluble metal working fluids come in contact with slideway oils, purpose of th...

The topic of this paper is testing corrosion stability of electrodeposited Zn-Mn coatings by using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (SEI). The coatings were deposited galvanostatically on a 3x3 cm steel. 99.99% pure zinc was used as the anode. The electrodeposition was carried out from four chloride solutions. Solution 1 was without manganese...

The aim of this study was to determine the composting kinetics for mixture ofpoultry manure and wheat straw based on the volatile solids content.Experimental data was fitted with the first-order and the nth-order kinetic model.The nth-order kinetic model showed better prediction performance than the firstorderkinetic model. For the first-order kine...

In this paper the authors have developed and implemented a HACCP plan for the production process of fermented milk products, as exemplified in the yogurt sample. Hazard analysis included 241 hazard, of which 99 hazard can be eliminated and prevented their occurrence, by taking timely preventive measures. The HACCP system is necessary to apply for t...

Biopolymers have the ability to absorb large amounts of water or biological fluids. They are swelling and forming hydrogels. Thanks to this, they have found a variety of applications, and among others they can be used to remove some metal ions from the water. Due to its unique structure and exceptional rheological characteristics, microbiological b...

Groundwater, as the mainresource of drinking water in the Republic of Srpska, is sometimes neglected regarding quality monitoring. It is especiallya characteristic of rural water supply sources as autonomous waterworks, individual intakes and wells. For the first time comprehensive analyses of the groundwater quality in rural areas of Srebrenica mu...

Cereal crops as a basic food for humans, little is used as a grain, but with millingthey are processed in the milling products: flour, meal, flakes and bran.Determining the content of some ingredients, such as protein, ash, wet gluten,fat, etc. in food products is important because they are present in the rawmaterials and final products. The import...

Zirconium is one of those few metals which are capable of dissolving relativelylarge quantities of oxygen. When heated in air at elevated temperatures, anoxide layer is built up at the metal surface. The oxidation of mechanicallypolished zirconium was studied in the range 500-900oC in air atmosphere, attemperature intervals of 100oC, for exposure t...
