EFFECT OF DISPERSANT ON GROUND GRANULATED BLASTFURNACE SLAG PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION DETERMINED BY LASER DIFFRACTION METHOD
Particle size distribution measurements were performed on ground granulated blastfurnace slag by laser diffraction with the powder dispersed in distilled water with sodium hexametaphosphate used as dispersing agent, as well as in pure distilled water and propan-2-ol. Two samples of slag with Blaine fineness 4700 cm2 /g and5500 cm2 /g were tested.Th...

INVESTIGATION THE POSSIBILITY OF POZZOLANIC CEMENT CEM IV 42,5N PRODUCTION IN CEMENT PLANT KAKANJ
This paper presents an experimental study to evaluate the possibility of CEM IV 42,5N producing by increasing the specific cement surface from 3180 to 3850 cm2 /g. In this paper, fly ash is used as a cement admixture because fly ash possesses both hydraulic and pozzolanic properties. If one part of the clinker, as a major cement admixture, is repla...

CHAMOTTE REFRACTORY CASTABLE PROPERTIES ENHANCING BY OPTIMIZING PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION
The paper examined the changes in properties of conventional castables composed of a mixture of calcium-aluminate cement and chamotte caused by changes in the particle size distribution. Properties of castable with 20 % cement and „as received“ chamotte were compared with castableofparticle size distribution adapted to the calculated di...

CONTEMPORARY MATERIALS FOR HEAT HARVESTING
In this paper, we have introduced new contemporary materials for heat harvesting, based on thermoelectric effect (or Seebeck effect): rear earth mono-pnictides and graphene. Measure of effectiveness for transformation of heat to electricity is represented with zT factor, which measure heat harvesting potential. zT factor is related with heat and el...

THE INFLUENCE OF THE RHEOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF THE COAL MIXTURE ON THE STRENGTH OF METALLURGIC COKE
Metallurgical coke as a fuel, reducing agent and permeable material in high-pressure processes must have pronounced strength and granulation properties due to expected changes in high temperature conditions. The best quality of metallurgical coke is achieved when coal mixtures satisfy a certain range of rheological parameters. The characterization ...

METALOGRAPHY IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA BEFORE 30 YEARS AND TODAY
In modern times, the science of materials cannot be imagined without metallography. The history of metallographic testing in Bosnia and Herzegovina is primarily related to Zenica. Today, most of the research related to the metal industry in BiH is conducted in laboratories at the Kemal Kapetanović Institute in Zenica. The Institute's Metallog...

THE INFLUENCE OF CARBON IN SYNTER-MIXTURE ON THE MECHANICAL RESISTANCE OF THE PRODUCED SINTER
The ore consolidation process is a thermal process and it happens at the temperatures of the ore melting beginning, allowing the ore grains, additives and fluxes to be connected into a solid piece of sinter. The amount of carbon in the sinter mixture and the FeO content of the produced sinter affect the mechanical resistance of the sinter. Indicato...
