AB  - In the last two decades, there has been a growing awareness of the presence of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic
environment. Antibiotics are particularly alarming because their occurrence may result in increased antibiotic
resistance. Difficulties in sample preparation and removal of low concentrations of pharmaceuticals from
environmental water could be overcome by their adsorption onto novel, non-polluting, and inexpensive
materials.
In this study, biochar prepared by pirolysis of biomass at 500°C (BC500) and 800°C (BC800) and activated
carbon prepared upon treatment with ZnCl2 at 800°C (AC800) were evaluated as potential adsorbents. Ailanthus
altissima was selected as a source of raw material, leaf, because it is a widespread invasive tree that negatively
affects biodiversity. Tetracycline hydrochloride was selected as a model substance, since it is an antibiotic
widely present in environmental water. Central composite design was employed to simultaneously investigate
the effects of adsorbate solution pH, ionic strength (KCl concentration), and adsorbent mass on removal
efficiency of all three adsorbents, and to find optimal conditions for studying adsorption kinetics and equilibrium
on the most promising adsorbent. The removal efficiency and adsorbed mass were calculated from the HPLCUV
determined concentration of tetracycline post-adsorption.
Under optimal conditions (10.18 mg of adsorbent, pH 4.42, and ionic strength 165mM), AC800 showed the
highest affinity for tetracycline, i.e. 38.22% removal and adsorbed mass of 56.32 mg g-1 compared to 14.57%
and 21.48 mg g-1 (BC500) and 18.82% and 27.73 mg g-1 (BC800). Removal efficiency of AC800 was strongly
influenced by the adsorbent mass and solution pH. The kinetics study showed a rapid adsorption process
(equilibrium attained in 120 minutes), while equilibrium studies revealed a high adsorption capacity for
tetracycline (131.55 mg g-1). AC800 has been shown to be a promising novel drug adsorbent and should be
further tested for its suitability in water treatment and sample preparation.

AB  - An ever-increasing industrially polluted site is one of the main global concerns in an anthropogenic era. The key challenge is to search for a cost-effective and sustainable approach that is acceptable world level. In this direction, the phytoremediation area is gaining attention globally due to having a high potential to decontaminate polluted sites. Over 20 years of scientific progress in phytoremediation, its reliability among stakeholders and practitioners has not yet been attained, because they are not sure about its applicability and sustainability. However, valuable plant-based phytoremediation is emerging fast due to its socioeconomic, ecological, and agricultural sustainability. In this regard, aromatic plant-based phytoremediation has wide scope in the era of ever-increasing industrial polluted sites. Aromatic plants are well recognized for their societal and economic significance from the ancient to the modern era. Some aromatic grasses are famous for their work as nurse plants that are capable of restoring ecosystem services as well as driving succession in poor environments at the beginning of restoration. Therefore, Aromatic Plant-Based Phytoremediation has tremendous potential to remediate worldwide wide-ranging polluted sites. The present book is useful for researchers, ecological engineers, policymakers, stakeholders, and practitioners to select specific aromatic plant species according to the site-specificity of the polluted site. This book offers some potential opportunities in aromatic plant-based phytoremediation as phytoproducts, i.e., essential oil (bio-economy) while restoring polluted sites. It also provides knowledge and insights about the phytoremediation potential of aromatic plants. It is the first book “Aromatic Plant-Based Phytoremediation” that brings together new and established knowledge on different aspects of aromatic plants in phytoremediation, providing these facts in a single source that deals with an innovative fusion of scientific and experiential knowledge on polluted site restoration.
In addition, the changing environment also causes various biotic and abiotic stresses in aromatic plants and thus adversely affects the growth and yield of aromatic plants. So, the application of climate-resilient aromatic plants in phytoremediation programs by using agro-biotech applications is of utmost importance to lessen environmental pollution. Soil amendments, microbial inoculation, tolerant aromatic plants, and genome engineering have been used to enhance phytoremediation in harsh conditions. There is no such kind of book that is available on the market that can cover such a novel topic as “Aromatic Plant-Based Phytoremediation”. It is an up-to-date and timely contribution that delivers a holistic approach for carrying out phytoremediation with socio-economic, ecological, and agricultural profits, benefitted by simple to understand and easy-to-read format. The present book will deliver a superb basis from which scientific facts can nurture and widen the fields of aromatic plant-based phytoremediation.

AB  - Ruderal plants are dynamic functional group characterized by their resistance to changing conditions of areas under anthropogenic influence. Opportunistic character enables them wide and fast spreading on growing number of degraded sites, including polluted ones. Not only are ruderal plants able to easily colonize open, degraded areas of land, but they can also be observed as a biological signal that the degraded land is able to recover. Therefore, many ruderal plants are studied for their capacity to cope with various inorganic and organic contaminants in the environment and recognized for their potential in remediation of various degraded lands. Many annual, perennial and woody species are investigated on range of contaminated sites where they showed potential to be applied in phytoremediation technologies. Degraded habitats represent favorable areas for introduction and spreading of invasive species, and some ruderal species. Those ruderal species, owing traits such as high seed production rate, efficient vegetative spreading and rapid nutrient uptake, could rapidly spread in such areas out of their native range, becoming invasive. Common traits of ruderal plants are mostly matching the desirable traits of plant suitable for phytoremediation purposes. As research in the area of phytoremediation continues to develop toward increasing the remediation efficiency, ruderal plants are gradually being subjected to various experiments and applications aiming to improve element bioavailability, plant tolerance or accumulation capacity. Overall, ruderal plants show high potential for remediation of degraded lands, and their importance will grow over time with increasing rate of anthropogenic disturbances and climate changes.

AB  - Increasing land degradation worldwide asks for restoration solutions that are often multi-purposed by nature. Establishment of Bioenergy crops, such as perennial grasses and short-rotation woody crops offers possibilities for both successful eco-restoration of various marginal lands and energy production. Besides many recognized benefits in terms of increased soil carbon stocks, reduction of GHG gasses and economical gains, there are still many potential challenges in bioenergy crop cultivation and production, particularly in terms of negative environmental implications. Comprehensive scientific studies are trying to recognize and overcome their existence and scope. Creation of sustainable bioenergy crops-based ecosys-tems on the various types of degraded lands through affordable restoration approach could pose a challenging task, but by its realization the fractional intentions of several UN-SDGs can be achieved.

AB  - Microplastics (MPs), the long-lasting anthropogenic contaminant omnipresent in the environment, have become a threat to ecosystems’ function and living organisms’ health, potentially harming the food chain globally. The presence of MPs emerged on a worldwide scale, while the evidence of microplastic particles is already being detected in human tissues. Terrestrial environments are sinks for plastic deposition and are one of the main routes of MPs reaching the groundwater and water bodies. In this regard, urban soils could significantly contribute to overall plastic pollution even though it have been mostly neglected by the research investigations carried out so far. Herein, we investigated MPs abundance in the soils of Belgrade, a city located in the northeast of Serbia, the capital and the most populated city in Serbia. Two sampling points chosen to represent the pollution gradient were the city center zone, close to the highway (BG1), and Košutnjak, the urban forest area around 7 km distant from the center (BG2). MPs extraction was performed using a density separation method, by saturated NaCl solution (1.2 g cm-3). Before extraction, soil organic matter was digested by 30% H2O2. Found average concentration of MPs was 400 items per kg of dry soil sampled in BG1. Soil from Košutnjak contained no MPs according to our findings. MPs abundance found in sampled soils from Belgrade is in agreement with previous reports analyzing urban areas. Isolated plastic particles were identified and counted using a polarizing microscope (Carl Zeiss Jena Pol-U). All found items were white/transparent fragments, characterized afterward by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy using a Thermo Scientific Nicolet iS50 spectrophotometer. Detected polymer types were polystyrene (PS) and phosphorylated cardanol prepolymer (PCP), suggesting the insulation, packing, and rubber materials as potential pollution sources. Transportation, overload of customer goods and packaging, construction, and building activities are the prevailing anthropogenic origins of MPs accumulation in urban environments. Further investigations will aim to reveal the relations between MPs and other pollutants and the potential impact on soil biota.

AB  - Microfibers, as a considerable component of microplastic pollution in the environment have received
notable attention during past years. Fast fashion and extensive use of synthetic and semi-synthetic outfits,
aging, and discharge of used textile items are dominant sources of microfiber generation and ending up in
urban soils. Herein, we examined microfibers' presence in the urban soils of Sremska Mitrovica and Bor.
A flotation method based on density separation using saturated NaCl solution was utilized to assess
microplastics concentration in soils. The abundance of microfibers was 200 and 600 items per kg of soil,
respectively. Fiber structure was confirmed by ATR-FTIR analysis. Items isolated from soil from Sremska
Mitrovica contained the natural fiber of cotton, while microfibers detected in soil from Bor referred to
semi-synthetic polymer, viscose, i.e. rayon. Despite similar chemical structures based on cellulose,
differences in IR spectra allowed the distinguishing of these fiber types. This paper provides insight into
the current state of environmental pollution by microplastic fibers and suggests potential origin. More indepth
research on fiber content in soils, measures of prevention, and subsequent remediation should be
carried out to face the challenge of microfibers presence in the ecosystem, their entering the food chain,
and their impact on biota.

AB  - Phytomining although predominantly in its early stages on the broader scientific scope of investigation has garnered
interest in metals such as Ni, Au, Zn or REE. Rare earth elements (REE) are commonly defined as the 15 lanthanides
with the addition of Sc and Y. Since studies of other hyperaccumulating plant species have been conducted before, similar techniques were tried with REE. With the concentration threshold at 0.1 wt% of the dry biomass there have been identified about 22 plant species that hyperaccumulate REE from five families (Phytolaccaceae. Gleicheniaceae, Blechnaceae, Juglandaceae, Thelypteridaceae). One of the most studied REE hyperaccumulators is Dicranopteris linearis (formerly
known as D.dichotoma), a fern native to China that grows on mine tailings. Generally, the techniques for REE
phytomining can be separated into Pyrometallurgy, Hydrometallurgy, Biometallurgy and Novel approaches. Currently most of the research is still focusing on the optimal utilization of various hiperaccumulators and the enchantment of REE extraction from the soil as well as from the enriched biomass. Since recovery of REEs via phytomining is just in its
infancy further multidisciplinary investigations are needed, especially when it comes to valorization and REE recovery.
This paper presents a quick review for the concept of REE phytomining, current state of research, challenges and
prospects.

AB  - This study investigates the presence of microplastics (MP) in the soil of (sub)urban areas of Serbia and its correlation with the mobility of toxic metals (Cd, As, Pb) to the plant species Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medic. The density separation method with two-phase digestion (H2O2 and NaClO) was employed to optimize MP detection in soil samples. Eight different types of polymers were identified through ATR-FTIR spectroscopy analysis, consequently polystyrene and phosphorylated cardanol prepolymers being the most prevalent. The results of this study reveal significant positive correlations between the presence of MP and the availability of Cd, As, and Pb to plant, suggesting a potential role of MP in the mobility of these heavy metals in soil. Additionally, a connection was established between concentration of cadmium (Cd) in under and above-ground tissues of C. bursa-pastoris and the concurrent presence of microplastics (MP) within the soil. This correlation indicates an increased mobility of cadmium in the presence of microplastics. Conversely, the Pb content in plants showed a negative correlation with the presence of MP in the soil, indicating complex interactions between these factors.

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  - Metalliferous mine wastes are notable sources of contamination remaining after ore
exploitation process. Bor mine is one of the largest copper mine basins in Europe where longterm
mining caused severe degradation and environmental pollution, making it one of the
remediation priorities in the country. Mine wastes, formed by non-selective overburden
deposition, generated surface Technosols of variable physico-chemical conditions. Moreover,
they are characterized by increased concentration of potentially toxic elements, such as As,
Cu, Pb, and Zn.
Festuca valesiaca Schleich. ex Gaudin, species characteristic for rangelands of
Eurasia, was found colonizing dry sandy patches of Bor mine waste Technosols. Parent
material was fresh andesite and conglomerates rocks of volcanic origin. This research aims at
revealing the potential of F. valesiaca for phytoremediation of such multi-contaminated sites.
Composite rizosphere soil and plant material were collected and analyzed from several
selected sites. Soil pH was measured in 1 to 2.5 ratio of soil and distilled water using pHmeter.
Organic carbon content was determined by the method of Tjurin, while total nitrogen
content was obtained by Kjeldahl digestion process. Pseudo-total and bioavailable
concentration of As, Cu, Pb, and Zn were determined in soil samples by using aqua-regia and
EDTA-extraction, respectively. Underground and aboveground parts of F.valesiaca were
digested with HNO3 and H2O2. Concentration of elements in soil and plant material was
analyzed using ICP-OES (Thermo Scientific, 6500 Duo). Bioconcentration (BCF), bioaccumulation (BAF) and transfer factors (TF) were determined for pseudo-total and
EDTA-available soil fractions.
Technosols colonized by F. valesiaca were alkaline (pH=7.23-8.35), with low organic
matter (0.85-2.5%) and total nitrogen content (0.03-0.05 %). Pseudo-total contents of As, Cu,
Pb and Zn were 137 mg kg-1, 1152 mg kg-1, 113 mg kg-1and 221 mg kg-1, respectively.
Bioavailable fractions ranged from 4.75% (As) to 36.2% (Pb) of their pseudo-total content.
Estimated BCF for Cu was highest, exhibiting values 1.12, while in the case of bioavailable
Cu fractions it was 6.52. Generally, BCFEDTA values were >1 for all investigated elements.
While all BAF factors were <1, BAFEDTA values for As, Cu and Zn were >1 (1.05, 1.14 and
5.87, respectively). Root to shoot ratios were low, ranging from 0.18 (Cu) to 0.41 (As).
F. valesiaca showed phytostabilization potential in case of pseudo-total Cu content at
Bor mine waste site. Moreover, it also exhibited possibility for accumulating all investigated
trace elements in roots in relation to their bioavailable concentration. As this is palatable
species, low transfer of elements from root to shoot enables safe use of F. valesiaca for
phytostabilization of copper mine wastes in Bor, but potentially also for other similar multipolluted
sites within its wide distribution range.

F. valesiaca showed phytostabilization potential in case of pseudo-total Cu content at
Bor mine waste site. Moreover, it also exhibited possibility for accumulating all investigated
trace elements in roots in relation to their bioavailable concentration. As this is palatable
species, low transfer of elements from root to shoot enables safe use of F. valesiaca for
phytostabilization of copper mine wastes in Bor, but potentially also for other similar multipolluted
sites within its wide distribution range.",

European Space Agency, changes in land cover from 2000–2015 indicate decrease in total
grassland area of 1765 km2 (30.03%), emphasizing dominant conversion of grasslands to
forests. Ongoing depopulation trend, rural to urban migrations, and decrease in livestock
population are some of main factors impacting grasslands. This trend favors further
naturalization of pastures striving to increase the areas under natural grasslands. Such
conversion will contribute to overall change in biodiversity richness, especially in areas with
saline soils and high mountain regions with increased level of endemic species.
Grasslands play important role in overall sustainability, but their importance it is not
properly addressed. Environmental experts should recognize drivers of grasslands degradation
and propose appropriate conservation and restoration measures. The priority should be
avoidance of grassland degradation that requires good assessment of their current conditions
and monitoring of plant, soil, climate conditions and land use activities. Further measures are
deduced to sustainable land management practices and smooth human interventions, whereas
the aftermost adopted measures should be related to restoration. Grasslands should have more
emphasized role in our society and LDN principles should be applied for their preservation.

AB  - УВОД и ЦИЉЕВИ: Услед високих нивоа производње и употребе пластике узрокованих
индустријским развојем, копнена околина садржи алармантне количине одбачених отпадних
пластичних материјала. Једном када доспеју у природу, они подлежу деградационим процесима,
разлажући се на микроскопске фрагменте, познатије као микропластике (МП). МП се дефинишу као
пластични остаци мале величине (< 5 mm) који потичу из различитих извора као што су производи
за личну негу, хабање гума, различите пољопривредне активности, таложење атмосферских
честица, клизишта итд. Земљишна станишта последично постају једно од доминантних басена за
депоновање МП. Токсични ефекти присуства МП у животној средини су бројни. Штавише,
захваљујући јаком капацитету адсорпције, МП би могле коегзистирати са другим загађивачима као
што су тешки метали и органске честице, што представља нови еколошки ризик. Присуство МП је
откривено у екосистемима у којима готово да нема људске активности - дивљим областима
Северне Америке, планинским шумама Пиринеја, па чак и на врху Монт Евереста. Овај рад је имао
за циљ да истражи садржај микропластике у земљишту које окружује Специјални резерват природе
Засавица, указујући на значај овог свеприсутног загађивача који негативно утиче на квалитет
земљишта, живи свет и ланац исхране.
МАТЕРИЈАЛ и МЕТОД: Узорци земљишта су прикупљани помоћу лопате од нерђајућег челика и
текстилних врећа, на травнатој површини у близини Специјалног резервата природе Засавица, на
дубини од 0-20 cm. Узорци су сушени на ваздуху две недеље и просејани кроз сито од 2 mm. Након
просејавања, узорци су сушени на 60˚C у пећи до константне тежине, а затим су мерена три
репликата од укупно 15 g узорка за анализу. На почетку је земљиште третирано са 60 ml 30% H2O2
како би се разорила органска материја земљишта. Како би се постигла боља екстракција МП,
суспензија је подвргнута ултразвучном третману у трајању од 10 минута, имајући у виду да МП
имају тенденцију да буду инкорпориране у агрегате земљишта. Након тога, дигестија је настављена
на 60˚C током 24h. Изолација МП извршена је методом раздвајања по густини. Суви остатак
земљишта који је остао након дигестије прекривен је засићеним раствором NaCl. Густина раствора
NaCl била је 1,2 g cm-1. Суспензија је стављена у ултразвучно купатило на 15 минута и остављена
преко ноћи како би се честице могле редистрибуирати по густини. Горњи слој супернатанта је
филтриран кроз Whatman стаклени филтер (величина пора 1,6 µм, пречник 25 mm). МП су
посматране и пребројане помоћу поларизационог микроскопа (Carl Zeiss Jena Pol-U).
РЕЗУЛТАТИ и ЗАКЉУЧЦИ: У складу с резултатима, узорци земљишта су садржали 800 честица по
kg земљишта, односно у измерених 5 g земљишта у просеку смо нашли 4 честице. Преовлађујући
облици МП били су фрагменти, док је величина била у распону од 50-500 µм. Боја честица је била
бела/провидна. Претпостављени доминантни извори остатака МП на овом подручју, које се сматра
незагађеним, могли би бити производи за свакодневну употребу, као што су амбалажа за храну и
пиће, козметички производи, текстил, гуме итд. Претпоставља се да индустрија и пољопривреда не
доприносе у значајној мери доказаном присуству МП. Метода која користи засићени раствор NaCl
даје информације само о честицама полимера са густином мањом од 1,2 g cm-1. Стога се очекује
да ће екстраховане честице бити остаци полимера као што су LDPE и HDPE (полиетилен ниске и
високе густине), PP (полипропилен), ABS (акрилонитрил бутадиен стирен), PC (поликарбонат),
HIPS (полистирен високог утицаја), или PA (полиамид). Јасан увид у утицај МП на екосистем тек
треба да се испита. Будућа истраживања биће усмерена на утицај МП на важна физичко-хемијска
својства земљишта и живи свет, одређивање типа и карактеризација МП и њеног главног извора
порекла на проучаваном подручју, како би се у будућности примениле одговарајуће мере за
смањење загађења пластиком.

AB  - Microplastics (MPs) are a newly acknowledged, pervasive pollutants found even in distant Earth
areas and represent a matter of global concern. This study inspects, for the first time, microplastic
content in terrestrial environments in the city of Bor, known as one of the most polluted industrial
cities in Serbia. Soils from the park in the II kilometer and the periphery of the Bor (Brezonik
settlement) were collected and analyzed. Plastic particle extraction from the soil matrix was
performed using the flotation method based on density separation. MP content differed significantly
between the two sites. Urban soil contained around 3800 items kg-1
, while suburban held 600 particles
per kilogram. The outstandingly high difference likely originates from the distinction in the
anthropogenic activity levels of the two localities. There was no notable difference in appearance. All
extracted items were white to transparent fragments. The morphological shape of plastic particles
indicated defragmentation as a governing origin source. Future investigations should be concentrated
on the MPs' correlation with other contaminants, namely heavy metals, and the eventual recognition
of MP`s role as the metal pollution vector in the investigated area

AB  - Microplastic particles (MPs) emergence and expansion have occurred rapidly and almost imperceptibly on a worldwide basis. Its presence and persistence in terrestrial environments recently started attracting considerable attention from scientific researchers, policymakers, the media, and the general public. Several methods were developed in order to isolate MPs from complex soil samples. Density separation demonstrated to be the most efficient and cost-effective to date It consists of the following steps: soil sieving, grinding and measuring, MPs extraction using the saturated salt solution of the appropriate density higher than the MPs that need to be isolated, supernatant filtration, and visualization of MPs adhered to filter. Several approaches could be applied to soil MPs separations, considering the utilization of different extracting solutions, working conditions, and phases order, which we investigated herein. As soil samples contained around 5% of organic matter (OM), the first protocol implied organic matter digestion using 30% H2O2 before the extraction, while the second one was performed vice versa. In both protocols, the extraction solvent that was used was saturated NaCl solution, density 1.2 g cm-1. According to the obtained results, and bearing in mind the fact that MPs could be entrapped in soil aggregates, OM digestion before the extraction was considered suitable to continue the investigation. In the following protocol, digestion was conducted at different temperatures and durations of 7 days at 25˚C (room temperature) and 24h at 60˚C, respectively, which enabled more efficient OM removal. The temperature and time of exposure may need additional tuning according to the soil type. While using NaCl solution, only polymers with a density lower than 1.2 g cm-1 could be extracted, so in the next procedure, it was replaced by a saturated solution of ZnCl2, which density could go up to 1.9 g cm-1. Hence, the final protocol based on the previous optimization involved digestion with H2O2 at 60˚C for 24h, followed by covering the dry residue with saturated ZnCl2 solution. The mixture was left overnight for density separation. The upper layer of the solvent where the MPs tend to concentrate was taken by a glass dropper and filtered through a Whatman glass filter (pore size 1.6 μm, diameter 25 mm). Achieved efficiency regarding OM reduction rate and MPs extraction on examined soils was satisfactory for further investigations.

AB  - Anacamptis morio occurs on a wide range of habitats showing distinct tolerance to heterogeneous
edaphic conditions. Assessment of Li, B, Ba, and Sr phytoavailability in the soils of western
Serbia, and metal(oid) uptake by A. morio provided new information on less studied elements and
revealed their relatively high mobility in the soil-orchid system. Although previous studies have
found that A. morio prefers neutral and calcareous soils, our study shows that it also inhabits ultramafic
and siliceous sites characterized by pronounced differences in soil chemical properties. BCR
sequential extraction identified up to 60% of Li and more than 80% of Ba and Sr content as potentially
phytoavailable. The total element analyses using ICP-OES showed that B, Ba and Sr predominantly
accumulated in the roots, but did not exceed thresholds considered potentially phytotoxic.
It revealed the exclusion strategy of A. morio which enables it to tolerate differences in elemental
composition of contrasting bedrock types. The highest Li concentrations were detected in leaves,
pointing to significant Li mobility within the plant. The contents of Li and Ca were highly positively
correlated, which may result from Li physicochemical properties that are similar to those of alkali
metals, allowing it to share the same transport carriers. Thus, Li could be easily transported to the
aboveground plant parts and accumulated mainly in the organs with the highest Ca content,
which was confirmed in this study. Bioconcentration factors >1 were detected only for B and Sr in
all plants analyzed, irrespective of the bedrock type.

AB  - Iako u ranoj fazi istraživanja fitorudarenje je podstaklo interesovanje u ispitivanju metala poput Ni, Au i retkih zemalja (REE). Međutim zagađenje cinkom iz rudničkog otpada, topionica, letećeg pepela i drugih antropogenih izvora postalo je ekološki problem. Fitoremedijacija hiperakumulirajućim biljkama pokazala se kao jedno od rešenja za smanjenje tog zagađenja. Stoga se pojavila i potreba za korišćenjem ili odlaganjem biljaka-hiperakumulatora cinka. Pošto su ranije sprovedena ispitivanja određenih hiperakumulatora za ekstrakciju metala, slični hidrometalurški i pirometalurški postupci ispitani su i za Zn. Hidrometalurški pravac ispitivanja fokusiran je na proizvodnju grubih eko katalizatora za potrebe organske hemije ili separaciju metalnih hidroksida cementacijom. Ovo je postignuto kiselim luženjem pepela dobijenog sagorevanjem nadzemne biomase. S druge strane, pirometalurški pravac više je fokusiran na bezbedno i ekološki prihvatljivo odlaganje proizvoda sagorevanja poput pepela i biočađi, uz postizanje nulte emisije toksičnih gasova pri pirolizi biomase. Bez obzira na pristup, potrebna su dalja istraživanja kako bi se ispitala stabilizacija metala koji zaostaju u čvrstoj frakciji tokom sagorevanja kao i smanjenje sadržaja metala u emitovanim gasovima. Do sada nijedna od ovih tehnologija nije dovedena do poluindustrijskih razmera u ispitivanjima, mada postoji potencijal u povezivanju ova dva pristupa.
AB  - Phytomining, although predominantly in its early stages on the broader scientific scope of investigation, has garnered interest in metals such as Ni, Au, or rare earth elements (REE). However, Zn pollution from mine wastes, smelters, coal ash and other anthropogenic sources has become an environmental problem. Phytoremediation by hyperaccumulating plants is one of the proposed solutions to mitigate the pollution. Therefore, a need to utilize or dispose Zn hyperaccumulating plants occurred. Since studies of certain hyperaccumulating plant species have been previously conducted in order to extract metal products, similar hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical techniques were tried with Zn. The hydrometallurgical route was more focused on producing crude eco catalysts for organic chemistry or separating metal hydroxides by cementation. This was achieved with acid leaching of the ash which was obtained by calcinating the aboveground plant biomass. On the other hand, the pyrometallurgical route was more focused on safe and eco-friendly disposal of combustion products such as ash or biochar, while achieving zero toxic gaseous emissions from biomass pyrolysis. Regardless of the approach further research is needed to investigate the stabilization of metals that remain in the solid fraction during combustion and lowering the metal content in produced gases. So far, none of these technologies have been brought to a semi industrial scale and there is the potential of linking those two approaches together.

abstract = "Iako u ranoj fazi istraživanja fitorudarenje je podstaklo interesovanje u ispitivanju metala poput Ni, Au i retkih zemalja (REE). Međutim zagađenje cinkom iz rudničkog otpada, topionica, letećeg pepela i drugih antropogenih izvora postalo je ekološki problem. Fitoremedijacija hiperakumulirajućim biljkama pokazala se kao jedno od rešenja za smanjenje tog zagađenja. Stoga se pojavila i potreba za korišćenjem ili odlaganjem biljaka-hiperakumulatora cinka. Pošto su ranije sprovedena ispitivanja određenih hiperakumulatora za ekstrakciju metala, slični hidrometalurški i pirometalurški postupci ispitani su i za Zn. Hidrometalurški pravac ispitivanja fokusiran je na proizvodnju grubih eko katalizatora za potrebe organske hemije ili separaciju metalnih hidroksida cementacijom. Ovo je postignuto kiselim luženjem pepela dobijenog sagorevanjem nadzemne biomase. S druge strane, pirometalurški pravac više je fokusiran na bezbedno i ekološki prihvatljivo odlaganje proizvoda sagorevanja poput pepela i biočađi, uz postizanje nulte emisije toksičnih gasova pri pirolizi biomase. Bez obzira na pristup, potrebna su dalja istraživanja kako bi se ispitala stabilizacija metala koji zaostaju u čvrstoj frakciji tokom sagorevanja kao i smanjenje sadržaja metala u emitovanim gasovima. Do sada nijedna od ovih tehnologija nije dovedena do poluindustrijskih razmera u ispitivanjima, mada postoji potencijal u povezivanju ova dva pristupa., Phytomining, although predominantly in its early stages on the broader scientific scope of investigation, has garnered interest in metals such as Ni, Au, or rare earth elements (REE). However, Zn pollution from mine wastes, smelters, coal ash and other anthropogenic sources has become an environmental problem. Phytoremediation by hyperaccumulating plants is one of the proposed solutions to mitigate the pollution. Therefore, a need to utilize or dispose Zn hyperaccumulating plants occurred. Since studies of certain hyperaccumulating plant species have been previously conducted in order to extract metal products, similar hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical techniques were tried with Zn. The hydrometallurgical route was more focused on producing crude eco catalysts for organic chemistry or separating metal hydroxides by cementation. This was achieved with acid leaching of the ash which was obtained by calcinating the aboveground plant biomass. On the other hand, the pyrometallurgical route was more focused on safe and eco-friendly disposal of combustion products such as ash or biochar, while achieving zero toxic gaseous emissions from biomass pyrolysis. Regardless of the approach further research is needed to investigate the stabilization of metals that remain in the solid fraction during combustion and lowering the metal content in produced gases. So far, none of these technologies have been brought to a semi industrial scale and there is the potential of linking those two approaches together.",

AB  - Lignocellulosic waste biomass (LCW) represents valuable resource whose implementation could help growing world demands in improving environmental problems. Fruit stones, as waste from food processing industry, are contributing toward negative stresses on our natural systems through impacts associated with both waste production and its disposal. Sustainable waste management practice necessitates that industries must shift from the current linear model to a circular based economy, utilizing wastes generated as initial materials for the production of new products, such as fuels, chemicals or materials which might help in solving environmental pollution topics. Waste biomass materials can be converted into value-added products using thermochemical methods, such as pyrolysis, whereby biomass is efficiently converted into biofuels, biochars and different value added products. This paper present current development work and evaluates potential opportunities for food processing waste pyrolysis focusing on the conversion of peach stones (PS) to biochar. The wasted PS were first crushed, milled to desired dimensions and then pyrolysed, heating from 25 to 500 оС at 10 оС/min heat flow, and kept at 500 °C for 2 h. The resulting biochar (PS-B) was characterized to determine the potential of this products for Cd(II) sorption as well as to distinguish sorption kinetics of Cd removal between raw and pyrolysed material. Kinetic experiments were performed in isothermal batch system with mixing (200 rpm), at 25 oC, adding 0.1g of sorbent in 50 ml of Cd(II) solution, with initial Cd concentration of 100 mg/L. Experimental results were modelled with three kinetics (pseudo-first, pseudo-second order and Elovich equation) and one diffusion model (Weber-Morris). Results of kinetic modelling indicated chemisorption mechanism with different diffusional behaviour of the samples. The contact pH (pHsus) of these materials were 4.10 (PS) and 5.76 (PS-B), indicating higher –OH content in biochars, which was also confirmed by FTIR analysis. The experimental results indicated that PS-B has almost five times higher sorption capacity than the native material (PS), under the same operational conditions, 24.50 mg/g compared to 5.25 mg/g, respectively. Conclusively, the PS derived biochar can be used as an alternative to conventional sorbents in contaminated water treatment. Moreover, more research work needs to be conducted on this waste type to biochar in order to investigate optimal operational parameters as well as flow system behaviour.

AB  - Due to the tendency of spreading out of its natural habitat and posing a menace to the surrounding species
and biodiversity of the area under its influence, Acer negundo L. is known as the deciduous invasive tree
species. Even though it is considered harmful for ecosystems, the biomass of this invasive species can be
utilized for the purpose of wastewater remediation. A. negundo leaf biomass (AN) was investigated for its
adsorption potential to bind the lead ions from an aqueous solution. The lead was selected for the sorption
experiments, as it is a well-known pollutant often found in various industrial effluents. Acer negundo L. leaves
were collected from the protected area of the outstanding natural landscape “Veliko ratno Ostrvo” in Belgrade.
Experiments were carried out in a batch system under specific operational conditions. Precise amounts of
sorbent were added in the Pb (II) solutions of known initial concentrations, and the optimal operational
parameters were further evaluated. Parameters such as lead concentration, pH value, contact time, and
sorbent dosage were tested and optimized for increasing the adsorption performance of the obtained sorbent.
Maximum Pb (II) uptake occurred at pH 3,5 and sorbent dosage of 2 g/L. Very fast adsorption was noticed by
the kinetic study, with equilibrium state achieved after the initial 2 min of sorbent (A. negundo)-sorbate (1 mol/L
Pb (II) solution) contact. Obtained data were subjected to equilibrium modeling by using Langmuir and
Freundlich equations. Maximum adsorption capacity reached 101,5 mg/g. According to these results, sorbent
prepared from Acer negundo leaf powder has an outstanding potential to be applied for lead removal from
contaminated waters.
