Because of their properties, superalloys are primarily used for the production of structural parts whose operating conditions correspond to elevated temperatures and often extremely aggressive environments. Because of that, they require a combination of high strength, good fatigue and creep resistance, and good corrosion resistance. Nimonic 80A is ...

In this research, the resulsts of bentonite characterization by XRF before and after adsorption are presented. The influence of temperature and pH on the capacity and efficiency of adsoption of lead (II) ions using bentonite is determined by adsorption experiments for initial lead (II) concentrations of 200, 300 and 400 mg/L, adsorbent dosage of 1 ...

Formability is the ability of a material to deform without fracturing, and the assessment of this property depends on various factors such as temperature, deformation speed, and stress state. There are two main approaches to determining formability: one is based on testing different materials under controlled stress conditions, and the other on dev...

Heavy metals can enter into rivers through industrial and consumer waste, activities of acidic rainto soils, etc. Long-term exposure can result in damaging: mental and nervous function, bloodcomposition, lungs, kidneys, liver, and other vital organs. Estimating a health risk based on thecontents of heavy metals found in river Bosna was the aim of t...

Considering the toxic properties of heavy metals and their effects on the environment, there is anincreasing interest in studying their interactions with different ligands and searching forpossibilities to remove those ions from the environment. Compared to other ligands, crown etherspossess the highest selectivity as ligands for metal cations, due...

The electrocoagulation with zeolite addition was used to treat compost leachate. The effects ofdifferent current densities and zeolite particle sizes on electrode dissolution, electrode surfacecondition, and removal efficiency were investigated. The surface of the electrodes was analysedby optical microscope, while the consumption of the aluminium ...

The translational symmetry of the distribution of atoms (ions) of the charge carriers (electrons orholes) system is broken by sputtering (doping),and due to the existence of two boundary surfaces.This is a model of high-temperature superconductors in which the observed symmetry breakingorthogonal to the CuO plane is treated as a perturbation. Singl...

Pollution of the environment with heavy metals is one of the greatest contemporary problems. Pyrophyllite is a hydrous aluminum silicate, with a wide variety of applications due to its high melting point and stable chemical properties. This study aims to examine the sorption properties of the mechanochemically activated pyrophyllite for the removal...

Three new neutral complexes of copper(II) containing chalcone ligands derived from 2'-hydoxyacetophenone and 4-substituted benzaldehydes were synthesized. Complexes were preparedby solution synthesis and characterized by spectroscopy. The catalytic activity of complexes wasexamined in the reaction of 3,5-di-test-butyl catechol (DTBC) oxidation. The...

In this paper, an analysis of the surface water and sediment of the Drina River was carried out.Samples were taken from different six locations along the course of the Drina River in Bosnia andHerzegovina. Selected heavy metals were determined in the sediment after acid digestion usingatomic absorption spectrometry - flame technique. The same metho...
