This study evaluates three hybrid electrocoagulation (EC) processes with aluminium electrodes: EC-zeolite process (EC+Z), EC-zeolite-ultrasound-assisted process (EC+Z+US), and EC-zeolite-magnet-assisted process (EC+Z+MAG) for compost wastewater treatment with large content of organic matter. The focus was on evaluating the effects of these processe...

NdFeB (Neodymium-Iron-Boron) magnets are essential for technologies such as electric vehicles, wind turbines, and medical devices due to their high energy density. However, the growing demand for these magnets, coupled with the limited availability of rare earth elements (REEs), emphasizes the need for efficient recycling of end-of-life (EOL) NdFeB...

Public demand for environmentally friendly solutions for new types of cement with reduced CO₂ emissions is increasing. Consequently, new types of cement must be developed and introduced to the market. This paper presents test results for cement formulations based on calcium fly ash and marly limestone, following the EN 197-5 standard. The clinker c...

Measuring the material's microhardness is generally easy and quick. However, since the operator reads the dimensions, i.e., the ends of the imprint formed in the material, the measurement result is greatly influenced by the operator's assessment. We present the research results in which three operators measured Vickers microhardness on the same imp...
