In this paper, a pressure vessel test is described which is viewed as an axis-symmetric structure in order to perform an initial check of the adopted model defined by the plate-like finite elements. This approach gives the possibility of comparing the results obtained for the stress and deformation field with the patterns of classical elasticity th...

More recently a modified stainless steels have been used to produce various structural elements that work in complex operating conditions. Stainless steel X8CrNiS18-9 (standard EN 10088-3: 2005) is the most commonly used austenitic stainless steel due to its good machinability. This steel has high mechanical and working properties thanks to a compl...

In the technology of bentonite mixture mold unexplored fields are the properties of a mixture of a quartz sand fraction 0.106 mm, 0.3 mm and 0.425 mm and the possibility of stacking in horizontal layers in the mold. The investigation is related to the layers of the following combination of sand fractions: 0.3 / 0.106 / 0.425 mm, 0.106 / 0.425 / 0.3...

This paper describes a few examples of the recovery of manganese from steel slag and dust by using different technologies based on acid leaching.Reductive leaching in sulfuric acid (H2SO4) for recovery of manganese from electric arc furnace dust (EAFD) was represented. Recovery of manganese and iron was increased with increasing in the sulfuric aci...

Basic raw materials for paper production are cellulose fibers and water. Water plays a major role in the process of cellulose and paper production and it is present in almost all phases of the cellulose fiber production process. Because of that the cellulose and paper industry is considered to be one of the largest consumers of natural resource pol...

The regulations on air quality in Bosnia and Herzegovina are based on European Union regulations and they rely on defined limits for concentrations of certain pollutants. Although the law stipulates that the public must be informed on the quality of environmental parameters in a clear, simple and easily understandable manner, this is not the case i...

FeCrAl alloys are used in a wide range of resistance and high-temperature applications such as wire heaters, furnace structure parts, etc. Their oxidation resistance at elevated temperatures relies on the formation of a thin and a continuous Al2O3 layer on the alloy surface. Growth and thickness of the protective Al2O3 layer depends ...

There is something inherent, compelling and mystified in ruins and remains of the old fort. The issues logically imposed at the first encounter with these witnesses of the past are linked to their current condition, age and role in history. Historically, all those fortresses were more than the fortified military structure. They have ...
