Steels for rolling bearings are important in the world production of special steels. They are used for the production of rolling bodies and rings. Since these are very responsible parts in machine construction, high-quality standards are required for these steels. The service life of rolling bearings, in addition to working conditions also depends ...

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...

Phytoremediation with wild plant species could be environment friendly and economical solution. Selected wild plants like mint, oregano, chamomile, nettle and St. John’s wort, from rural area in Bosnia and Herzegovina, were collected, lyophilized and acid digested for heavy metals analysis. Nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd...

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...
