The work aims to design a pyrophyllite-modified carbon paste electrode for pesticide detectionin aqueous solutions. The structural and morphological characterization of naturalpyrophyllite clay for Parsovići mine, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and mechanically modifiedpyrophyllite was performed using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electronmic...

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...

More recently 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 than...

This paper describes the process of degradation of the structure of the inlet header of the intermediate reheater (MPr) 2 input header at the boiler of Unit 7 of the Thermal Power Plant Kakanj, determined on the basis of tests of replicas and hardness at characteristic places of the header. Headers, with minor delays, have been in co...

In this paper, C45 medium carbon tool steel was investigated after various heat treatments. The thermal properties, specifically thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity, were measured and also the microstructure analysis was done on a light microscope. Heat treatment of the samples included: 1) the normalization heat treatment a...

We have introduced a theory for the calculation of thermodynamic characteristics for somecharacteristic nanostructures (ultrathin films and superlattices), using the adapted method of twotimetemperature Green's functions. In this paper, we have determined the coefficient of thermalconductivity using the definition of free energy and then compared t...

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...

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...

Pyrophyllite (Al2Si4O10(OH)2) is a layered phyllosilicate mineral with a basic 2:1 crystal structure,consisting of an aluminum octahedral layer placed between two silicon tetrahedral layers (T-O-T),connected by weak Van der Waals forces, which results in easy structural disruption. Naturalpyrophyllite has an electroneutral surface, which causes a h...

Wood is renewable, recyclable, climate-friendly material, and presents an important segment inachieving circular economy and sustainability concepts. To be able to link these two concepts,production and consumption systems need to transform towards sustainability. Wood-basedproducts play a role in mitigating climate change by reducing carbon from t...
