In this work, the design and usage of biosorbents made of apricot shells (Prunus armeniaca L.), Na-alginate and bentonite, for heavy metals removal from wastewaters, were investigated. The effect of particle size on the biosorption process, were investigate and the smallest fraction, was immobilized in Na-alginate. Immobilization had a positive eff...

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...

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...

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...
