AB  - The corrosion behaviour of three types of alloys (two low-alloy carbon steel and one stainless iron with ~15 wt.% Cr), in a solution which simulates seawater (3% NaCl solution, pH 8.1) was tested. Tested samples are used to make steel (iron) balls applied in mils for grinding copper and other ore. The corrosion tests were performed using three electrochemical methods, at room temperature in the presence of atmospheric oxygen. The linear polarization resistance (LPR) method, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) method, and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) method were applied. Based on measurements by LPR and EIS methods (as non-destructive methods), the value of polarization resistance (Rp) was determined and the general corrosion rate (vcorr) of the examined samples was calculated. The obtained values of the general corrosion rate can be used to calculate the service life of steel (iron) balls under exploitation conditions (seawater). The appearance of the surface after linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) measurement showed the presence of localized corrosion (pits were formed) of the tested samples, especially stainless iron, and the LSV method is not suitable for the determination of the general corrosion rate of tested samples in seawater. This form of corrosion occurs at high anodic polarizations, during performing LSV measurements.

approach to achieve this objective. Recent studies indicate that hydrothermal carbonization (HTC)
is a promising method for the conversion of waste biomass towards novel carbonaceous materials

range of waste materials, including lignocellulose biomass, sewage sludge, algae, and municipal solid
waste, generating desirable carbonaceous products. This review provides an overview of the key
HTC process parameters, as well as the physical and chemical properties of the obtained hydrochar.

AB  - The corn cob was investigated as available agrowaste material for the production of potential efficient material for heavy
metals removal. The hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) technology is one of the appropriate methods for biomass
transformation into high-value carbonaceous products than can be utilized as adsorbents. In this study, modified pyrohydrochar
derived from corn cob (MCC) was effectively prepared by modification with Mg-Fe solution and pyrolysis.
This material was used for Pb ions removal from aqueous solutions. The effect of solution pH, contact time and initial Pb
concentration were examined in batch system. The achieved results revealed that the most effective Pb adsorption take
place at pH 5. The experimental results were fitted to Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips and Redlich-Peterson isotherm models.
The best data fit was achieved with the Sips isotherm model with maximum adsorption capacity for Pb removal of 214.9
mg/g. Additionally, the experimentally results from kinetic study were fitted by pseudo-first and pseudo-second order
models. According to kinetic parameters, the Pb removal using MCC follows pseudo-second order model, which assumes
that chemical interaction between Pb ions and functional groups on the MCC surface was involved in metal adsorption.
According to data from this investigation and in comparisons to other adsorbents can be concluded that investigated
material can be used as potential suitable adsorbent of Pb from aqueous solutions.

AB  - Pollution of water with toxic substances is increased. Therefore, innovative solutions
for their treatment are essential. This paper represents results from an adsorption study where
novel synthesized biobased membranes were applied in the removal of dye metanil yellow
from wastewater solution. Batch adsorption tests were applied, where the different
operational impacts including contact time, initial pollutant concentration, temperature, etc.
were varied. Fabricated membranes were based on waste cellulose tobacco boxes modified
by amino acid lysine with an aim to increase sorption capacity toward azo dye. Structural
properties were examined by FE-SEM and ATR-FTIR techniques. The activities of materials
prior to and after modification were compared. It was found that the modified material
achieved a better sorption capacity. The resulting adsorption capacity for the improved
membrane was 65 mg/l compared to 51 mg/l, at 45°C, for the base cellulose membrane. The
kinetics of the process follows a pseudo second-order curve. The best agreement of the
correlation factor R2 was shown with the Freundlich isotherm. The obtained results show the
success of the modification with a good sorption capacity of the material towards the target
pollutant. Overall, it can be concluded that the modified membranes lay a good foundation
for potential application in industrial dye wastewater treatment systems.

AB  - Cotton-based membranes, due to their exceptional biocompatibility and sustainability,
have attracted considerable attention in various applications, especially in the field of bio and
green technologies. This study investigates the biodegradation potential of cotton membranes
modified with TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl) radical and citric acid (CA),
with the aim of improving their properties and facilitating environmentally friendly disposal.
TEMPO radicals, in conjunction with the crosslinker citric acid, are incorporated into the
cellulose structure through a novel modification process. The citric acid component acted as a
plasticizer, increasing the amorphous parts of the cellulose and promoting enzymatic attack.
The TEMPO radical, with its nitroxyl group, contributed to the oxidation of cellulose, further
facilitating biodegradation.
The biodegradation aspect of these modified membranes was investigated in
controlled environmental conditions (Soil Burial test), simulating natural scenarios (humidity,
influence of enzymes, and bacteria). Biodegradation parameters such as weight loss,
structural changes, and degradation kinetics were examined during 90 days. Characterization
of the structure was performed using FTIR and SEM methods.
Our findings suggest that cellulosic membranes possess complete (100%)
biodegradability after 70 days compared to unmodified membranes. Obtained result shed
light on the potential of membranes modified in this way as sustainable and biodegradable
alternatives in various applications. The results emphasize their ecological nature and ability
to reduce environmental stress. Such cellulose-based materials promise a much greener future
in biotechnology, healthcare, and environmental protection.

AB  - The reserves of rich ores, from which the production of zinc by the existing conventional roasting-leaching-electrowinning   process   is   technologically   possible   and   economically   justified, are decreasing year by year. For this reason, increasing attention has been directed towards  researching  the  possibility  of  obtaining  zinc  from  complex  polymetallic  ores  with  a  low metal content, adhering to sustainable development goals following strict environmental regulations.  Leaching  procedures  are  commonly  utilized  for  the  processing  of  such  mineral  raw materials.As sphalerite is the widespread and most significant mineral of zinc sulfide, a large part  of  the  research  focuses  on  studying  the  behavior  of  sphalerite  in  the  leaching  process.  This paper reviews the existing knowledge about the leaching of sphalerite in acidic solutions as well as the phenomena accompanying the dissolution process. Special attention is given to research related to the kinetics and mechanism of sphalerite oxidation in an acidic medium influenced by various oxidants, such as hydrogen peroxide, oxygen, dichromate ions, nitrate and nitrite ions, ferric and cupric ions, and others. All these results enable the development of  new  technological  procedures  to  produce  zinc  from  low-grade  and  complex  ores  while  meeting increasingly rigorous environmental requirements.

AB  - The presence of arsenic in drinking water above the permissible limits is one of the current problems facing modern
engineers in the field of separations and it has not yet been satisfactorily resolved, because the permissible concentrations
of arsenic in drinking water are constantly reduced by the World Health Organization (WHO). Among the various
processes for arsenic removal, adsorption has a special place as one of the most efficient and cheap process. Many natural
and artificial materials are tested for adsorption processes, and adsorption on metal powders is particularly interesting
because they represent adsorbents with fast kinetics and relatively high adsorption capacities. However, the application
of powder adsorbents is difficult due to their separation from the mixture after adsorption. In order to solve that problem,
metal powders may be immobilized into particles obtained by gelling natural polymers. In this way, it is easier to separate
the adsorbent from the mixture, however this must be achieved without losing the adsorption capacity and rate compared
to pure metal powders.
In this study, the use of metal oxide (iron oxide nanoparticles) immobilized within the alginate gel showed good potential
for arsenic (V) ions removal. The obtained results showed that arsenic adsorption by obtained composite has fast kinetic,
following pseudo-second-order model, and that it is conducted in several steps, according to the Weber-Morris model. It
was suggested that external diffusion is the dominant mechanism at the beginning of the arsenic adsorption, followed by
intraparticle diffusion. The obtained results confirmed that gelling with alginate did not significantly affect the adsorption
process, that is, it does not interfere with the adsorption capacity of metal oxides, which is a very important factor. Arsenic
(V) removal was successfully performed using the investigated composite.

AB  - This paper aims to show a short economic analysis of the profitability of recycling management on the territory of Paraćin
municipality. Consumption habits of modern society and socioeconomic conditions have made it difficult to implement
sustainable waste management strategies. Industry, economics, sociocultural and political activities must work together
to solve the multifaceted problem of waste management. The municipality of Paraćin is located in the central part of the
Republic of Serbia, Pomoravlje region. Annually, this municipality generates about 18,000 t of waste, while the mass of
recyclable waste is approximately 7,000 t. This small industrial city have been constantly facing with an insufficient
number of available bins and containers for the disposal of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Moreover, this city has been
challenging by an increasing number of illegal dumps along the roads. Together with surrounding municipalities, the local
government was planning to create Regional Recycling Center and Landfill with all necessary operations. Sorting of the
waste at the source of its origin, and adequately disposing it in containers intended for different types of waste, would
provide precisely insight into the movement of recyclable waste. In addition, with these actions by the local community,
it could produce a habit among citizens for proper deposition and disposal of household waste and reduce the negative
impact on the environment. This article shows the categories of waste and their percentages, as well as the resulting
amount of recyclable waste, which should be a starting point for establishing a recycling center with surrounding
municipalities.

AB  - Worldwide pollution induces a negative impact on the complete environment. Modern societies are becoming
more involved in developing and implementing climate change adaptation policies as a result of
the enormous hazards that climate change poses to human safety worldwide. One of the biggest problems
that highly affects climate change is plastic pollution. Also, the utilization of a linear economy prevents the
opportunity of solving mentioned problem. Hence, a major component of the strategy for tackling plastic
pollution and trying to decrease global weather changes is an implementation of a circular economy. Plastic
has to be reduced, reused, and recycled since its widespread consumption has put environmental protection
at risk. PET, also known as polyethylene terephthalate, is a prominent polymer material used for
the production of packaging, particularly plastic bottles. The majority of PET-based products are made
using raw materials supplied from fossil fuels. However, methods based on biobased materials and recycling-
modified products for obtaining novel products from waste PET have fewer greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions than the traditional method. Therefore, the subject of this paper is the innovative technology for
the fabrication of materials by PET recycling. Obtained monomer units - glycolysates were acquired by PET
depolymerization by inducing greener solutions. The resulting glycolysate was structurally modified with
maleic anhydride and finally with 2-octanol to obtain a novel plasticizer. The physicochemical characterization
of the obtained plasticizer, performed by infrared spectroscopy with Fourier transform (FTIR) and
NMR spectroscopy, confirmed structural modifications. The mechanical characteristics of the final product
were tested after the plasticizers had been combined with bitumen at a range from 1 to 10 wt.% concentration.
In addition, other PET recycling techniques will be presented and discussed. By comparing them,
it will be determined which technique is most suitable for recycling with the smallest carbon footprint. The
second purpose of the research is to evaluate and contrast the financial and ecological implications of recycling
PET in comparison to other types of waste and renewable energy sources.

AB  - In oxygen converters, molten iron from the blast furnace is refined with steel waste under oxidizing conditions [1]. The injected oxygen passes into the iron melt, after which it reacts with the impurities. Analysis of exergy losses clearly indicates the place of energy losses in the observed process, so a detailed analysis can influence the improvement of a complex process [2]. Exergy losses occur due to technological imperfections such as heat dissipation or friction and system irreversibility according to the second law of thermodynamics [3]. The concept of exergy can be used for a better understanding of the feasibility of a process, as well as for the techno-economic analysis of the process at different variations of input/operating parameters. In this work througtful calculation of exergy oxygen convertor was done. According to the obtained data, out of a total of 972.2 MJ of thermal energy, which is released by exothermic reactions in the refining process, 817.5 MJ is pure exergy and can be used, the rest is anergy that arises due to irreversibility.

AB  - Releasing untreated or inadequately treated effluents into recipients (rivers, lakes, and oceans) can endanger aquatic
ecosystems and drinking water sources. In order to eliminate harmful pollutants, wastewater must be treated, especially
industrial wastewater enriched with nutrients. Phosphorus contamination can occur through a variety of different routes,
such as wastewater treatment plant discharge (municipal and industrial), agricultural fertilizer losses from erosion,
drainage, etc. The establishment of suitable wastewater treatment techniques is essential. The subject of this paper is the
biological removal of nutrients (phosphorus) from wastewater, using unconventional methods of wastewater treatment -
sequencing batch reactors (SBR) systems. Their modifications and the advantages such processes offer, compared to the
standard activated sludge (AS) treatment that is the most often used, will be presented. Enhanced biological phosphorus
removal methods that employ various microorganisms have been observed from the perspective of the method's
effectiveness. Of all applied treatments for phosphorus removal, the most effective and the most often used was the
accumulation of polyphosphates in the biomass itself. The purpose of this paper is to offer a brief review and theoretical
essentials of environmental engineering techniques that can be applied in real industrial wastewater treatment plants.

AB  - Nickel pollution of water induces several problems for the environment. The purpose of this paper was to
investigate the adsorption of Ni2+ ions on fabricated biomembranes. The proposed adsorbent was prepared
from epoxy and amino-functionalized waste cellulose fibers, able to participate in cross-linking with amino
acid lysine - wCell/Mn-Fe_LDH. The prepared material underwent preliminary structural characterization
by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. In a batch system, the influence of pH, contact time,
temperature, and initial concentration on adsorption efficiency was investigated. The effectiveness of the
membrane was demonstrated by acceptable adsorption capacities of 40.49 mg g-1 obtained for Ni2+ at 45°C.
The kinetic study, using the Weber-Morris model, indicates intraparticle diffusion as the rate limiting step.
Adsorption mechanism physisorption was proposed based on thermodynamic behaviors. The outcomes
demonstrated that environmentally friendly sustainable technology has been successfully developed.

AB  - Environmental management demands innovative techniques for its protection and
treatment. The essential agreement of the modern world is to overcome every issue in a
sustainable way. The two major financial problems in this area are water pollution and
material corrosion. Persistent, organic compounds such as pesticides have devastating effects
on the water ecosystem. This problem can be solved by applying advanced treatment processes
(ATPs) like membrane separation and photocatalysis. Additionally, the corrosion of metal
materials needs to be prevented to preserve natural resources and reduce environmental
concerns. Therefore, researchers are trying to develop tunable, multifunctional materials
with broad applications. Employed materials in these operations must fulfill high criteria, like
durability, stability, and chemical and optical activity, to make specified processes efficient
and viable. Electroconductive polymers (ECPs) can meet the aforementioned standards. The
most used ECP is polyaniline (PANI), due to its catalytic and electrochemical performances.
These two properties are beneficial for both water purification and anticorrosion applications.
The objectives of the paper are to represent various PANI-based composites utilized in the
removal of different classes of pesticides during wastewater treatment by adsorption or
photocatalytic degradation. Further corrosion inhibition, utilizing PANI-based inhibitors, will
be discussed as well.

AB  - Hydro-climate extremes, such as floods, heatwaves, and drought severely endanger ecosystems, energy, human health, and agricultural yields. The trend of the intensity, frequency, and duration of hydro-climate extreme events has seriously increased during the last decades at both regional and global scales. Supplemental hazards may occur by climate change's linkage with other environmental issues. Owing to its ubiquity in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine environments, microplastics (MPs) pollution, originating from plastics degradation into small debris via physical, chemical, and biological processes, has become a global environmental concern. Growing evidence of microplastics' negative effects on soil and water properties, and organisms populating those habitats have been reported. Furthermore, plastic debris presence disrupts ecosystems' ability for climate regulation, as its production directly contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.  Discovered microplastics affect to soil water regime, and may be of high importance during drought periods. Climate changes (wetting-drying, rain intensity, soil cracking, etc.) influence the microplastic migration rates into soil layers. The mobility of microplastics in certain environmental mediums, such as sediments, depends on the microplastics' shape and type. Accumulation of microplastics, together with variable environmental conditions may affect soil physicochemical properties, such as its water-air capacity. The impact of catastrophic flooding on microplastic organization has been reported in riparian soils, which could be considered sinks for microplastics. Also, dust storms, monsoons, and other meteorological phenomena could promote MPs' transboundary migration. Microplastic abundance positively correlates with climatic factors such as rainfalls and winds, especially in tropical countries possessing high volume and intensity precipitation, which could influence the transport and settlement of MPs suspended in the air. MPs deposition was found to be higher in wet periods, depending on the intensity of the occurring precipitation. Recent studies highlight that climate change further impact on plastic pollution concentration and fluxes in global distribution. Tropical storms and other extreme weather events already cause the dispersal of mismanaged waste between freshwater, marine, and terrestrial environments. Additional inputs of terrestrial MPs into aquatic environments might be increased by stronger winds, while sea level rises and frequent rain events may likely release plastic debris trapped in coastal sediments. Flooding has the potential to further intensify plastic pollution, and flood-risk areas often become high plastic mobilization sites. Recently a new type of plastic material was discovered, representing the rock-plastic complex, formed during microplastics' irreversible sorption onto the parent rock after the flooding events. Microplastics-rock complexes testify to the anthropogenic waste entering the geological cycles while inducing new potential ecological risks. Microplastic omnipresence as a potential hazard should be seriously considered as a component of the climate change impacts on ecosystems and the environment, on a worldwide level. Further research is needed for a beter understanding of the aging and risk assessments of microplastics under hydro-climate changes

AB  - This study focuses on establishing an efficient two-step technology, which includes: (1) consecutive adsorptiondesorption,
using cellulose-based membranes, bCells, and (2) photocatalytic degradation of the fungicide
thiophanate-methyl (TPM), using synthesized Ag-P25 and Ce-P25 catalysts. The catalysts, obtained by
controlled deposition of Ag2O/Ag and CeO2 onto P25 TiO2 carrier (Degussa), were characterized using ATRFTIR,
XRPD, BET, FESEM, HRTEM, HAADF-EDS and UV–DRS techniques. In order to establish a feasible purification
technology, preconcentration of TPM was performed by adsorption, achieving 75.5 and 92.9 mg/g of
TPM removal using bCell-EpL and bCell–EpL–TA membranes, respectively, followed by efficient desorption (>
95%) that provided acceptable TPM concentration for photodegradation experiments. Under optimal conditions
(0.07 g/L of both catalysts), complete degradation of TPM (5 mg/L) occurred within 2 h, compared to 4 h for the
base TiO2 P25. Measurements of quantum yield and the results of HPLC-MS analysis, alongside DFT calculation,
assisted in understanding the TPM degradation pathways. New degradation products were detected and proposed
from HPLC–MS analysis. Embryotoxic assays, performed on zebrafish (Danio rerio), applied to estimate the
toxicity evolution of time-dependent generated TPM degradation products, showed low embryotoxic potential.
Chemical oxygen demand (26 mg O2/L) confirmed low ecotoxicological pressure of effluent water.

AB  - Worldwide consumption of pesticide active ingredients reaches 2.7 million tons per
year [1]. After being released into the environment significant portion of applied pesticides
ends up in surface water bodies affecting nontarget organisms. Due to high environmental
pollution, improvement in technological practices for water treatment has been a demand,
and advanced oxidation processes stand out as a prominent method. In this study,
photocatalytic degradation of a fungicide difenoconazole was investigated and residual
toxicity was assessed using zebrafish embryos (Danio rerio).
Difenoconazole has been subjected to photocatalytic degradation in presence of the
TiO2 Degussa P-25 catalyst and artificial illumination (Osram Ultra Vitalux 300 W).
Influence of different anions (carbonate, sulphate and nitrate), concentration of pesticide and
mass of catalyst, on degradation process has been assessed. Decrease in absorbance
(Shimadzu 1800 UV spectrophotometer) served as an indicator of the pesticide
concentration in the reaction system. The environmental acceptability of the specified
degradation process was assessed for optimal circumstances of total photodegradation.
Residual toxicity of degradation product was assessed on the basis of toxicity comparison
of initial, partly and completely degraded samples, according to OECD 210 [2].
Embryotoxicity assays were performed in triplicate and were terminated 120 hours post
fertilization (hpf).
According to the results of assays engaged in assessment of the influence of the ions
on photocatalytic processes, it was found that all ions have comparable catalytic effects on
the kinetics of the difenoconazole degradation process. The presence of sulphates and
carbonates had the greatest catalytic effect, while the nitrate ions showed the lowest catalytic
capacity (Fig. 1). The most suitable conditions for photodegradation were obtained by using
0.2 g/l of TiO2 and 5 mg/l of difenoconazole solution at atmospheric conditions. The
embryotoxicity assays followed the analytical examination. Comparison of results obtained
in embryotoxicity assays of the initial solution, partly and completely degraded samples
confirmed suitability of applied degradation method. Significant decrease in toxicity,
compared to the initial solution, was registered in both degraded samples. Based on
cumulative mortality (120 hpf), medium lethal concentration (LC50) of difenoconazole is 1.4
mg/l, while the same parameter could not be determined in partly and completely degraded
samples, due to the lack of mortality (Fig. 2).
According to the obtained results it can be concluded that engaged photocatalytic
degradation process is suitable for pesticide contamination water management.

AB  - Conventional wastewater treatment processes are increasingly difficult to fulfill strict standards of
achieving the required quality. Therefore, it is necessary to apply processes that in an efficient and
economically justified way reach the necessary limits in order to discharge wastewater into the
recipient. The process of photolysis represents the degradation of the starting pollutant practically to
water and carbon dioxide. The whole process takes place under the action of a UV lamp that imitated
solar irradiation. The process is environmentally justified since, unlike some other advanced
oxidation processes - AOPs, there is no use of additional, hazardous, chemicals which possibly results
in the precipitates formation that are leading to further treatment. In this paper, photolytic degradation
of pesticide thiophanate methyl was performed in doubled wall quartz reactor equipped with a
thermoregulation system. Reaction was forced under Osram ULTRA VITALUX UV lamp (300W).
Kinetics of photodecomposition process was followed by pseudo-first order. In certain time periods,
specimens were sampled, filtered and monitored by UV spectrophotometer Shimadzu 1800 with an
aim to determine the concentration of xenobiotic. Complete degradation of present xenobiotics was
obtained after 240 min. With an aim to enhance the degradation process, hydrogen peroxide was
added as a boosting agent which cause a shortening in demanded time (150 min) for complete
degradation. Verification of the success of decomposition was confirmed by the obtained values of
chemical oxygen demand (COD), which reveal that the established system has a basis for real
application in industrial or municipal wastewater.

AB  - Pollution of water presents one of the biggest problems of modern society. Pesticide
production, usage and release, as well as their persistence in the environment, have
detrimental effects on the aquatic and non-target species. Therefore, it is necessary to apply
treatment techniques in order to prevent these negative consequences. The processes used
so far do not have the necessary efficiency to optimally solve this problem. Hence, plenty
of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) has been developed, among which photocatalysis
has stood out. Thus, photocatalytic degradation of fungicide thiophanate-methyl by using
recently synthesized catalyst Ag2O/TiO2 was considered. The effect of the various
parameters, such as catalyst amount, fungicide concentration, and also the distance of the
lamp from the photocatalytic reactor was studied. The obtained photocatalyst was examined
using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy
(SEM), as well as Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). Photocatalytic assays
employing Ag2O/TiO2 catalyst with the concentration of 0.065 g/l yielded the best results.
The degradation rate constant was measured as 0,040 min-1 by observing values of
absorbances from the UV spectrophotometer Shimadzu 1800. Under the optimal
conditions, the complete disappearance of 10 mg/l of fungicide occurred within 2 h by
using Ag2O/TiO2. However, the limitation of the applied process is reflected in the volume
of wastewater that can be treated, while making it economically viable. Obtained results
show that synthesized catalysts pose a great ability to effectively decompose thiophanatemethyl
under UV light.

AB  - Environmental pollution by wastewater
represents one of the greatest challenges nowadays.
The solution for this issue requires implementation
of novel treatment methods. Therefore, enhanced
techniques so-called Advanced oxidation processes
(AOPs) are gaining increasing attention.
Photocatalysis is a process based on the use of
different types of irradiations on a pollutants
adhered on a catalyst, driven by formation of
radicals and oxidative species on the catalyst
surface. Modern agricultural practice relies on use
of different classes of pesticides, and to its, often,
uncontrolled and excessive use. It leads to their
widespread in the environment, with frequent
detection in waterbodies and soil. Thiophanatemethyl
(TPM) is benzimidazole fungicide, used in
control of diverse groups of phytopatogenic fungus
[1].
Specifically efficient and economically viable
catalysts are TiO2-based. Multiphase catalysts
showed better results in the degradation of various
pollutants, so TiO2 P25 (Degussa) was used as a
material that boosts photocatalytic decomposition.
In order to advance and fasten the reaction, the
surface of TiO2 P25 was decorated with cerium (IV)
oxide [2]. Surface and photochemical properties of
newly obtained material are characterised by
HR - TEM, HAADF - STEM; FTIR and UV - DRS
methods.
In this study, the photocatalytic degradation of
thiophanate-methyl (TPM) in the presence of
CeO2 - P25 was investigated. Different
experimental conditions were varied, such as the
concentration of the pesticide solution and the mass
of the catalyst. Monitoring of the pesticide
concentration in the reaction system was based on
the decrease in absorbance using a Shimadzu 1800
UV spectrophotometer.
Results of textural and structural analyses prove
decoration of P25 surface with particles of cerium
(IV) oxide uniformly. Synthesised nanocatalyst
CeO2-P25 has lower band gap energy (2.90 eV) then
P25 (3.30 eV).
The optimal experimental conditions were
obtained using 0.07 g/L of CeO2-P25 and 5 mg/L of
TPM solution. Degradation reaction rate follows
pseudo-first order law. Complete degradation was
performed after 120 min. In experiments with TiO2
P25 catalyst (Degussa) degradation time was 240
min. Hence, it can be concluded that the synthesized
CeO2-P25 catalyst has better performance.

AB  - Current demand on adsorbent materials is in constant growth, hence scientific society is in ceaseless
research subjecting cheap and optimal adsorbent. Abundant raw materials which may be utilized as
adsorbent of cation species are mica minerals, and vermiculite as one of them is widely examined.
Since wastewater may contain anion or/ and non-ionic pollutants it is needed to functionalize
adsorbent so it may attract those species as well. Goethite and ferrihydrite are potential candidates
for such modification since they: have large specific surface area (SSA), possess hydroxide group
and they are not toxic to the environment. Goethite/ expanded vermiculite (Goe/EV) and ferrihydrite/
expanded vermiculite (Fer/EV) are successfully prepared and those composites have showed better
adsorption related chemical properties than expanded vermiculite (EV) itself. Utilizing BET
methodology, it is determined that Fer/EV possess five-time larger SSA than EV, while Goe/EV is
two times larger. Measuring cation exchange capacity (CEC) it is determined that modified samples
have only ~10% smaller values of CEC. Summary, both composites have shown higher affinity
toward cationic dye, malachite green and also showed their adsorbent potential toward anionic dye,
tartrazine. Thanks to facile preparation of such materials and its cost, it may be concluded that they
are prospective choice as adsorbents, in first order of heavy metals and dyes.
