Occupational safety is a very important factor in the process of creating a safe work environment.The benefits employers, employees and even the state as a whole can reap greatly depend on theway occupational safety is organized and implemented. This paper aims to make a general analysisof the condition of safety at work in Bosnia and Herzegovina, ...

Aluminium alloy foams are a form of porous metal whose structure resembles the shape of natural materials such as coral, bone, sponge, etc. Due to their structure, these materials retain good mechanical properties of the base material while being significantly lighter than non-porous metal. Metal foams can be used as energy and vibration absorbe...

The mechanical properties and microstructure of copper base shape memory alloys are relatively well known, while data on thermal properties (thermal conductivity, specific heat, and temperature conductivity) are not available. In the frame of our investigation work thermal properties of rapidly solidified Cu-Al-Ni-Mn alloy were deter...

Titanium and its alloys, particularly Ti6Al4V, are widely used, especially in aerospace andmedicine due to their relatively low density, high strength, and good corrosion resistance. However,there are formidable challenges in casting, forming, and machining titanium alloys, which result infinal products that are considerably more expensive. Additiv...

Long-term exposure of superheater and steam intermediate superheater pipe materials to high temperatures in the operating conditions that prevail in thermal power plants leads to the appearance of the oxide layer.Oxide layer forms on the inner wall of the pipe, which acts as a heat insulator and reduces heat transfer through the pipe...

The paper describes the determination of the mechanical properties of the spherical floors of pressure vessels, obtained by the welding process and shaped by the process of gradual local deformation in the cold state, i.e. by the process of Incremental sheet forming (ISF). Spherical cylindrical bottoms are an integral part of most cl...

In order to examine the state of critical components of the boiler of Unit 5 of Kakanj Thermal Prema wer Plant, headers were tested in order to undertake appropriate technological measures and activities on the basis of insight into the current state of affairs, and to make recommendations for further exploitation. From first commiss...

Leachate water from sanitary landfills represents one of the most complex global environmentalproblems. This paper examines the possibility of using aluminosilicate material, pyrophyllite, fromthe Parsovići deposit, as an adsorbent. It was researched the influence of two granulations ofpyrophyllite (0-53 μm and 0-100 μm) on the degree of adso...

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...

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...
