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...

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...
