AB  - Hidrogel poli(vinil alkohol)/hitozan/gentamicin (PVA/CHI/Gent) pripremljen je fizičkim umrežavanjem disperzije poli(vinil alkohola)/hitozana i namenjen je za upotrebu kao materijal za medicinske obloge dubokih nekrotičnih rana kao što su dekubitusi. Ispitivane su fizičko-hemijske (FTIR, SEM), mehaničke i biološke (citotoksičnost, antibakterijska aktivnost) osobine. Mehanizam difuzije gentamicina iz hidrogela PVA/CHI/Gent proučavan je upoređivanjem novog dvo-kompartmentskog modela sa opštim frakcionim izvodima (GFD) i Korsmajer-Pepas, Makoid-Banakar i Kopča difuzionih modela. GFD model bolje se poklapao sa eksperimentalnim podacima od drugih modela i takođe je omogućio određivanje koeficijenta difuzije gentamicina tokom celog proučavanog vremenskog perioda.

AB  - U cilju poboljšanja bioaktivnosti i antibakterijskih svojstava metalnog implantata (titana), primenom elektroforetskog taloženja u jednom stupnju, iz četvorokomponentne vodene suspenzije dobijene su biokeramičke, kompozitne miltifunkcionalne prevlake na bazi hidroksiapatita, poli(vinil alkohola) i hitozana uz dodatak antibakterijskog agensa, antibiotika gentamicina. Na osnovu rezultata dobijenih FTIR, XRD i TG analizom pokazano je prisustvo karbonatno-supstituisanog hidroksiapatita (prisutnog i u prirodnom koštanom tkivu) i potvrđena je uspešna inkorporacija gentamicina u prevlaku, što ovu kompozitnu prevlaku čini pogodnom za potencijalnu primenu u biomedicini.

AB  - Površine titanskih implantata se mogu unaprediti primenom biokeramičkih, multifunkcionalnih prevlaka koristeći proces elektroforetskog taloženja (EPD) u cilju sprečavanja korozije, poboljšanja biokompatibilnosti i antibakterijske aktivnosti, kao i unapređenja osteointegracije. Materijali poput hidroksiapatita (HAP), hitozana (CS), poli(vinil-alkohola) (PVA) i antibiotika gentamicina (Gent) su korišćeni u ovom procesu kako bi se razvile poboljšane antibakterijske kompozitne prevlake. Nakon taloženja, prevlake su potapane u simuliranu telesnu tečnost (SBF) na 37 °C, a zatim je izvršena karakterizacija skenirajućom elektronskom mikroskopijom sa emisijom polja (FE-SEM) i rendgenskom difrakcionom analizom (XRD). Bioaktivnost istaloženih prevlaka je pokazana i analizom aktivnosti alkalne fosfataze prema MRC-5 i L929 ćelijskim linijama. Koncentracija otpuštenog gentamicina je određena korišćenjem tečne hromatografije visokih performansi (HPLC) sa masenom detekcijom (MS).

AB  - Organozeolites were prepared by modification of the natural zeolite – phillipsite with surfactant - cetylpyridinium chloride (CP) in amounts of 50, 100, 150 and 200% of the external cation exchange capacity (ECEC) of zeolite. Adsorption of mycotoxin - ochratoxin A (OCHRA) was followed at different solid to liquid ratio, different initial mycotoxin concentration and different pH values. Results showed that adsorption of OCHRA increased with increasing of the initial mycotoxin concentration, the amount of each adsorbent in suspension and with increasing amounts of CP in the organozeolites. For all adsorbents, the adsorption of OCHRA was higher at pH 3 than at pH 7. The highest adsorption was achieved with the organozeolite with the highest content of CP (200% of ECEC), 18.4 mg/g at pH 3 and 8.5 mg/g at pH 7.

AB  - INTRODUCTION: Owing to its similarity to the inorganic part of the natural bone, excellent bioactivity, biocompatibility,
and ability to stimulate the osteoconductive process, synthetic hydroxyapatite (HAP) is very often the material of
choice for biomedical applications. Diverse ions can be found as substitutes within natural bone structures, each playing
a distinct and crucial role in the physiological processes governing the lifecycle of bones [1]. Among them, strontium ion
has a very important role for the acceleration of osteogenesis and the inhibition of osteoclasts activity [2]. Current
research aims to provide physico-chemical characterization of synthesized HAP and strontium substituted HAP (Sr-HAP)
powders obtained by varying strontium concentration (10, 20 and 40 mol.%) in the starting solutions.
EXPERIMENTAL: HAP powder was synthesized by wet chemical precipitation, using aqueous solutions of Ca(NO3)2
4H2O (Merck, p.a.) and (NH4)2HPO4 (Sigma-Aldrich, ≥99 %). By adding NH4OH (CENTROHEM, p.a.), pH value was adjusted
to 10. The obtained precipitate was heated up to 90 °C. The same procedure was followed for Sr-HAP powder syntheses,
by adding Sr(NO3)2 (Sigma-Aldrich ≥99.0 %) and maintaining the (Ca + Sr)/P ratio at 1.67 in the mixed Ca2+/Sr2+ solution.
Synthesized powders were characterised by FTIR spectroscopy (Nicolet IS-10, Thermo Fisher Scientific), XRD analysis
(Philips PW 1710, Philips, The Netherlands), TG analysis (Netzsch STA 449 F5 Jupiter instrument), and FE-SEM analysis
(JSM-7001F, JEOL Ltd, Japan).
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: FTIR spectra revealed the presence of carbonate-substituted hydroxyapatite in both pure
and Sr-substituted HAP powders. The powders showed a granular, homogeneous morphology without the Sr separation.
XRD analysis revealed that the amount of incorporated Sr in the HAP structure increased with increased Sr concentration
in the starting solutions. Thermal stability of the Sr-HAP powders decreased with increased Sr concentration.
CONCLUSIONS: Physico-chemical characteristics of Sr-HAP powders are directly dependent on Sr ion concentration
in powders.

AB  - Smelting used to be less efficient; therefore, wastes obtained from historical processing at smelter plants usually contain certain quantities of valuable metals. Upon the extraction of useful metal elements, metallurgical slag can be repurposed as an alternative mineral raw material in the building sector. A case study was conducted, which included an investigation of the physico-chemical, mineralogical, and microstructural properties of Pb–Zn slag found at the historic landfill near the Topilnica Veles smelter in North Macedonia. The slag was sampled using drill holes. The mineralogical and microstructural analysis revealed that Pb–Zn slag is a very complex and inhomogeneous alternative raw material with utilizable levels of metals, specifically Pb (2.3 wt.%), Zn (7.1 wt.%), and Ag (27.5 ppm). Crystalline mineral phases of wurtzite, sphalerite, galena, cerussite, akermanite, wüstite, monticellite, franklinite, and zincite were identified in the analyzed samples. The slag’s matrix consisted of alumino-silicates, amorphous silicates, and mixtures of spinel and silicates. Due to the economic potential of Pb, Zn, and Ag extraction, the first stage of reutilization will be to transform metal concentrates into their collective concentrate, from which the maximum amount of these crucial components can be extracted. This procedure will include combination of gravity concentration and separation techniques. The next step is to assess the Pb–Zn slag’s potential applications in civil engineering, based on its mineralogical and physico-mechanical properties. Alumino-silicates present in Pb–Zn slag, which contain high concentrations of SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, and Fe2O3, are suitable for use in cementitious building composites. The goal of this research is to suggest a solution by which to close the circle of slag’s reutilization in terms of zero waste principles. It is therefore critical to thoroughly investigate the material, the established methods and preparation processes, and the ways of concentrating useful components into commercial products.

AB  - In the ceramic industry, the quality of the final ceramic tile as well as the possibility of its use depends on the quality and characteristics of the starting raw materials. One of the potential raw materials that can be used in the production of ceramic tiles is kaolinized granite, and it is necessary to examine its characteristics. In this research, the kaolinized granite of the Jadar block, northwestern Serbia, from the Beli Majdan surface mine, Jadranska Lešnica, was examined. Chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), and differential thermal analysis (DTA) were carried out. Ignition tests of the prepared composites were also conducted at three selected temperatures (1000, 1100, and 1250°C), where total linear shrinkage and water absorption were determined. The activity concentrations of natural radionuclides and the artificial radionuclide 137Cs were determined using the gamma spectrometry method, and then the radiation risk for the external exposure of workers when working with this raw material was assessed. For the samples with the highest content of 226Ra, radon exhalation measurements were performed with the RAD7 device, and the values of the radon emanation coefficient were determined, as well as the values of alpha dose equivalents, which quantified the potential internal exposure of workers. The results of the chemical analysis showed that the content of Al2O3 in the examined composites ranged from 19.11-21.00%, and the content of Fe2O3 from 1.53-1.72%. Additionally, the K2O content in the tested composites ranges from 4.01-5.46%, which indicates the presence of K-feldspar and muscovite, and the Na2O content from 1.82-2.61%. Based on XRD analysis, it was established that the mineral composition of kaolinized granite includes quartz, feldspar, mica, calcite/dolomite, and kaolinite minerals. DTA analysis indicates the occurrence of minor endothermic processes at 488.05°C and 558.12°C, as well as an exothermic process at 980.8°C. The color of the ignition is brick red to dark brown red. A trend of increasing linear shrinkage and decreasing water absorption with increasing ignition temperature was observed with the normal appearance of the samples. The average activity concentration of natural radionuclides are around and below the average values for building materials, expect for 40K. The values for 137Cs are below the values measured in soil. Annual effective doses estimated for external exposure are below 1 mSv y-1, which indicates that there is no increased radiation risk when working with this raw material. The values of the radon mass exhalation rate are in the range of 61-113 mBq kg-1 h-1, and the values of the radon emanation coefficient are 6.3-8.4%. The average value of the alpha dose equivalent is 1mSvy-1, which indicates a potential exposure to radon below 100 Bq m-3. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that kaolinized granite is a high-quality and radiologically safe raw material for making ceramic composites in the production of ceramic tiles. It has all the necessary characteristics to partially or completely replace feldspar in ceramic composites.

AB  - Untreated industrial effluent is causing alarming levels of water pollution in our modern world. Hydrochars, functional carbonaceous materials obtained during the hydrothermal carbonization of waste biomass, possess a great potential for use in industrial wastewater treatment. Their high reactivity and regenerative properties compensate its deficiency, which is reflected in a small specific surface area. In addition, these materials are amenable to additional functionalization and modification by various chemical treatments. Previous studies have demonstrated that incorporating metals onto the surface of hydrochar or treating it with hydrogen peroxide or alkalis can significantly enhance its adsorption capabilities. This paper provides a brief overview of using hydrochars from various sources as adsorbents for heavy metals. This review aims to assess the impact of material modification on its structural characteristics and sorption capacity.

AB  - Lignite is the basic raw material used by thermal power plants in Serbia to
produce electricity. In the process of burning coal, ash appears as a secondary product for
17% (data from the Nikola Tesla Power Plant). Fly ash, which is an ultrafine ash content,
causes air, water, and soil pollution, and is the main cause of a significant increase in the
number of various diseases among the surrounding population. A chemical analysis of fly
ash samples from the Nikola Tesla thermal power plant in Obrenovac was performed, and
results were obtained that inevitably require a reaction in terms of eliminating the components  found in this product. The presence of heavy metals was established: Zn, Cr, Cd, Sr, Pb, Co
and Ni. Despite the fact that these elements are difficult to dissolve in water, they led to
serious environmental pollution, which eventually led to very serious health complications,
primarily in the population living directly next to the thermal power plant. The air very easily
disperses this fly ash, and besides it pollutes water and soil, not only in the surroundings
but also on a larger surface of the land, the particles carried by the wind spread to areas
that are more distant. The toxicity of these heavy metals is particularly dangerous due to
their cumulative deposition in the human body, which is the last in the food chain, and is
in direct danger due to the presence of fly ash from the air, water and soil, through cultivated
agricultural products. This is a very complex problem, which is the subject of research
and finding solutions in many countries. At the same time, elemental sulfur appears as a
secondary product of oil refining. By applying sulfur in the process of homogenization and
agglomeration of ash in amounts from 15% to 22%, coating and increase of ultrafine ash
particles <63мm in size is achieved and their presence is reduced from 17.5% to 1%. The
product obtained in this way can easily and without additional investment be disposed
of in landfills without the possibility of polluting the environment. This would prevent and
significantly reduce environmental pollution, as well as further illness of the population due
to the influence of the presence of fly ash. It would also solve the problem of sulfur disposal
as a secondary product of oil refineries. The resulting agglomerate of ash and sulfur could
be further used in construction.

secondary product of oil refining. By applying sulfur in the process of homogenization and
agglomeration of ash in amounts from 15% to 22%, coating and increase of ultrafine ash
particles <63мm in size is achieved and their presence is reduced from 17.5% to 1%. The
product obtained in this way can easily and without additional investment be disposed
of in landfills without the possibility of polluting the environment. This would prevent and
significantly reduce environmental pollution, as well as further illness of the population due
to the influence of the presence of fly ash. It would also solve the problem of sulfur disposal
as a secondary product of oil refineries. The resulting agglomerate of ash and sulfur could
be further used in construction.",

AB  - Zeolite was discovered in 1756 by F. Axel Frederic Cronsted, a Swedish mineralogist . He named them after the Greek words “zein” and “lithos”, which means “boiling
stone”. Zeolites are crystalline, hydrated aluminosilicates of alkaline and alkaline earth cations.
They possess an infinite three-dimensional crystal structure. Zeolites are characterized by
the ability to lose or receive wate. Also, they exchange some of their constitutional cations
without any major structural changes [1]. The most important characteristics of natural
zeolite minerals that enable their wide application in various areas of economic activities
are: ability absorption , processes ionic changes and catalysis . Natural zeolites are one of the
most economically significant groups of mineral raw materials due to their origin, physical
and chemical properties, as well as structural characteristics. There are numerous fields of
application of natural zeolites in ecosystems: in the removal of organic sulfur bound to oils,
in air purification from SO 2 , CO 2 and nitrogen oxides. Zeolite is a material that, due
to its properties, is used for removing cesium and strontium from soil contaminated with
nuclear waste, in water purification, in the field of agriculture, veterinary medicine, as a
construction material, etc.
The deposits and occurrences of zeolitic tuffs in Serbia are related to Tertiary lacustrine
volcanic-sedimentary and sedimentary complexes. They are related to the effusive activities
of dacitic, dacito-andesitic and andesitic magmas. In this regard, the most important are:
the Vranje, Toplic, Kruševac, Krivoreč, Sokobanj, Bogovin, West Moravian and Ibar basins,
the eastern part of the Great Moravian Trench as well as the Fruška Gora area.

AB  - The paper presents the analysis of mining waste, its division, as well as the
importance of proper waste management in order to protect the environment from all negative impacts. The aim of this research was to point out the importance of environmental
pollution with waste materials from mining. Compared to the amount of waste generated in
other industries, the waste generated in mining has the highest percentage of environmental
pollutants. There was a special focus on acidic mine waters as pollutants that represent one
of the greatest dangers to the environment. Accumulation of waste material starts already
from the first exploration works and the opening of the mine, also during the exploitation
and preparation of the mine ore, all until the closure of the mine. Depending on the phase
of exploitation, mining waste differs in terms of toxicity, chemical, mineralogical and granulometric composition, as well as aggregate state. Considering the very important aspect
of environmental pollution, it is necessary to point out all the risks of potential levels of
pollution with a clear indication of the measures that must be taken to prevent pollution.
The application of information technologies in mining provides the possibility of predicting
risks and taking appropriate measures. This approach makes a great contribution to the sustainability of applied technologies in mining. The contribution to sustainable development
is reflected in the principles of planned and controlled execution of mining activities in order
to preserve mineral resources for future generations, and at the same time preserve a healthy
environment. Solving the problem of waste generated during the exploitation and preparation of trench raw materials requires a multidisciplinary approach. Proper management of
mining waste requires cooperation and engagement of experts from various scientific fields.
Sharing knowledge and multidisciplinary conclusions are necessary both in cases of treating
waste with the appropriate procedure, as well as its permanent disposal and storage. Storage
facilities for this kind of waste should be built and protected to ensure long-term, and preferably permanent, protection of people and the environment. In order to achieve adequate
protection, the controls and regulations for the storage of mining waste are significantly
tightened. The complexity of mining waste management requires the involvement of the
wider social community, the adoption of rules and regulations framed by appropriate legal
acts that must be fulfilled in their full form.

AB  - Ruderal plants are an important component of plant communities that develop on the range of anthropogenically degraded lands. Yet they were highly neglected and not recognised as desirable for restoration purposes. The aim of this study was to analyse the potential for using ruderal species in restoration processes and to identify preliminary criteria for species selection that could be included in ecological restoration of degraded man-made habitats under future conditions of increased human disturbance and climate changes. The desirable characteristics of the species depend primarily on the type of habitat to be restored, with plant height, specific leaf area, rooting depth and seed characteristics being the most important traits. The recognised ecosystem services of the species analysed show that the provisioning and regulating services are well represented, particularly erosion control, pollination, phytoremediation and other soil quality improvements. Most of the dominant and diagnostic ruderal species from the man-made habitats of the north-western Balkan Peninsula are sensitive to climate change and their potential distribution range is expected to decrease at the European scale. Higher certain ecological indicator values, as well as values for disturbance severity, frequency and soil disturbance indices were found for species that are expected to increase their range. Ruderal species are becoming increasingly important for restoration purposes, as the focus shifts to the significance of early successional species. The inclusion of ruderal species in the restoration of degraded sites should be based on criteria such as: non-invasiveness, plant traits favourable for colonisation (height, SLA, seed traits, rooting depth), values of ecological and disturbance indices, provision of ecosystem services, and change of distribution range under changing climate conditions.

AB  - INTRODUCTION: The  ubiquity  of  pathogenic  yeast  species  in  the  human  body  and  the  increasing  number  of immunocompromised people acquiring infections have drawn attention to fungal infections [1]. Improved diagnostic imaging techniques and tools to study infection are necessary due to the commensal nature of pathogens yeast and the severity  of  the  diseases  they  cause. The  ability  to  label  non-pathogenic  yeast  cells,  such  as  the  budding  yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae), may facilitate the identification and monitoring of these microbes in different environments. The  topic  of  interest  in  this  research  is  the  development  of  luminescent  nano-biomaterials  based  on fluorapatite as a contrast agent for labeling and imaging S. cerevisiae. EXPERIMENTAL (or Materials and Methods): The method used to manufacture fluorapatite nanopowder has been previously reported in research [2]. After being acquired locally, S. cerevisiae was suspended in saline. One milligram of the  FAP  sample  was  added  to  the  yeast  suspension.  After  mixing  the  resultant  suspension,  it  was  left  to  incubate  at room  temperature  for  one  hour  without being stirred.  Following  treatment,  cells  were  taken  out,  preserved,  and prepared in triplicate for microscopy. MIPAR software has been used to analysethe obtained images. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Luminescent FAP nanoparticles were synthesized by precipitation and centrifugation at low temperature. The resulting single-phase nanomaterial exhibits cascade fluorescence in the violet and blue regions [2]. To investigate the performance of FAP nanoparticle fluorophores, cells of S. cerevisiae were labeled and observed with a Leica DMIL  inverted  fluorescence  microscope.  Nanofluoroapatite  fluorophores  were  successfully  labeled S. cerevisiae cells.MIPAR image analysis software extracted the luminescence of nano-biomaterials from yeast cells. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, S. cerevisiae was used as a yeast model which, after labelling with a fluorapatite-based contrast  agent,  showed luminescent properties.  The  cascading  nature  of  the  agents'  luminescence  will  allow us  to monitor cellular uptake as well as monitoring cellular localization in future studies.

AB  - The incombustible portion of coal that remains after burning is known as bottom or fly ash, and it has a detrimental influence on the environment. One of the possible alternatives for reducing the amount of ash deposited in landfills might be the production of useful glass-ceramic from vitrified fly ash. Glass-ceramic was synthesized using fly ash from the thermal power plant "Nikola Tesla" and fluxing additives. Sinter-crystallization of the parent glass resulted in glass ceramics. The glass was created by melting a combination of coal fly ash (CFA), Na2CO3, and CaCO3 at T= 1500 °C and quenching the melt in the air. Glass powders were sintered at temperatures 850 and 900 °C. The resulting glass-ceramics were characterized microstructurally, physically, and mechanically. The cavitation erosion of samples was evaluated. The cavitation rate was 0.015 mg/min for the sample sintered at 850 °C, and 0.0053 mg/min for the sample sintered at 900 °C. The leaching of heavy metals in glass-ceramic samples was determined using the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure. A low concentration of heavy metals in the leaching solution showed that heavy metals were successfully incorporated in the glass matrix and that obtained glass-ceramics are ecologically safe for usage. Both samples exhibit good resistance to cavitation erosion, suggesting their potential as possible replacements for structural ceramics commonly employed components of hydraulic machinery.

abstract = "The incombustible portion of coal that remains after burning is known as bottom or fly ash, and it has a detrimental influence on the environment. One of the possible alternatives for reducing the amount of ash deposited in landfills might be the production of useful glass-ceramic from vitrified fly ash. Glass-ceramic was synthesized using fly ash from the thermal power plant "Nikola Tesla" and fluxing additives. Sinter-crystallization of the parent glass resulted in glass ceramics. The glass was created by melting a combination of coal fly ash (CFA), Na2CO3, and CaCO3 at T= 1500 °C and quenching the melt in the air. Glass powders were sintered at temperatures 850 and 900 °C. The resulting glass-ceramics were characterized microstructurally, physically, and mechanically. The cavitation erosion of samples was evaluated. The cavitation rate was 0.015 mg/min for the sample sintered at 850 °C, and 0.0053 mg/min for the sample sintered at 900 °C. The leaching of heavy metals in glass-ceramic samples was determined using the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure. A low concentration of heavy metals in the leaching solution showed that heavy metals were successfully incorporated in the glass matrix and that obtained glass-ceramics are ecologically safe for usage. Both samples exhibit good resistance to cavitation erosion, suggesting their potential as possible replacements for structural ceramics commonly employed components of hydraulic machinery.",

AB  - U ovom istraživanju, ispitivana je sposobnost otpadne biomase kao adsorbenta, pri čemu je ovsena slama (OS) odabrana kao polazna sirovina. Da bi se unapredio kapacitet adsorpcije ovog materijala, on je modifikovan sa odabranim dubokim eutektičkim rastvaračem (DES). Radi proširenja mogućnosti primene nakon tretmana sa DES-om, modifikovana ovsena slama (DOS) je imobilisana u kuglice sa alginatom, te je time dobijen IDOS. Efikasnost adsorpcije teških metalnih jona metala iz rastvora bakra testirana je na modifikovanoj (ili imobilisanoj) ovsenoj slami. Maksimalni dobijeni kapaciteti za adsorpciju jona bakra bili su 26.4, 81.4, 124.78 mg/g respektivno. Dobijeni rezultati pokazali su da adsorpcija prati kinetički model pseudo-drugog reda, što implicira da je hemisorpcija za vezivanje jona bakra, odnosno korak koji kontroliše brzinu adsorpcije.

AB  - The contamination of the water bodies by diesel oil (DO) and its water-soluble fraction (WSF) represents one of the most challenging tasks in the management of polluted water streams. This paper contains data related to the synthesis and characteristics of the plum stone biochar material (PmS-B), which was made from waste plum stones (PmS), along with its possible application in the sorption of the WSF of DO from contaminated water. Techniques applied in sample characterisation and comparisons were: Elemental Organic Analysis (EOA), Scanning Electron Microscopy−Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), pH (pHsus) and point of zero charge (pHpzc). In order to increase the overall efficiency of the removal process, sorption and bioremediation were subsequently combined. Firstly, PmS-B was used as a sorbent of WSF, and then the remaining solution was additionally treated with a specific consortium of microorganisms. After the first treatment phase, the initial concentration of diesel WSF was reduced by more than 90%, where most of the aromatic components of DO were removed by sorption. The sorption equilibrium results were best fitted by the Sips isotherm model, where the maximum sorption capacity was found to be 40.72 mg/g. The rest of the hydrocarbon components that remained in the solution were further subjected to the biodegradation process by a consortium of microorganisms. Microbial degradation lasted 19 days and reduced the total diesel WSF concentration to 0.46 mg/L. In order to confirm the non-toxicity of the water sample after this two-stage treatment, eco-toxicity tests based on a microbial biosensor (Aliivibrio fischeri) were applied, confirming the high efficiency of the proposed method.

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.

AB  - The performance of thermo-insulation rendering mortars with alternations in ratios
of powdered cordierite and talc was examined. The goal was to confirm that recycled
kilnware cordierite can be reapplied in the mortar design without significant deterioration in
performance in comparison with OPC mortar. Differential thermal analysis was employed for
examining thermally induced reactions. The cavitation erosion, in testing sequences ranging
from 30 to 120 minutes, was used to assess the compactness of the mortar structure. The
physico-mechanical properties of experimental mortars were investigated. The morphologies
of the mortar tablets upon cavitation were studied using a scanning electron microscope. It
was established that cordierite and talc filler in amounts up to 20% enhance microstructural
packing and mechanical strengths due to improved cementation and therefore contribute to
cavitation erosion resistance. Higher amounts of talc cause structural degradation and mass
loss during cavitation tests. Reducing manufacturing costs, energy consumption, and
greenhouse gas emissions are the main objectives of the production of this waste-based
construction composite, as the reuse of waste materials can help achieve a number of
Sustainable Development Goals.

AB  - Every year around 1.2 Mt of Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) dust and around 50 kt of Cupola Furnace (CF) dusts are generated
in Europe. Both materials are classified as hazardous waste due to significant concentration of Zn, Cd, Cr, Ni and Pb, which burden the metallurgical industry, albeit their possibility to be considered as an alternative source of valuable metals. Around 30 steelworks in the East-Southeast European Regional Innovation Scheme (ESEE RIS) region exploit EAFs for scrap-based steelmaking. However, the dusts generated from the exhaust gases abatement cannot be profitably recycled due to the absence of recycling plants operating in these areas, which implies that the dust generators have additional costs due to the dust ransportation to the nearest Zn recovery plant, since presence of toxic substances prohibits their landfilling. Thanks to the extensive knowledge on the extraction of a wide range of compounds from steelmaking dusts, as well as the capacity of reutilisation of residues after extraction in the building and construction industry, the DustRec project aims at the recovery of all the economical compounds within the dusts (Zn, Pb, Cu, Fe and others) hence minimizing the final waste landfilling and generate an economically feasible process with improved environmental and societal impacts. The proposed approach includes several emerging techniques from innovative magnetic and gravity separation methods to new pyro- and hydro-metallurgical reprocessing technologies for the separated fractions. In this paper, eight different dusts from EAF and CF were collected all around the partners’ countries and chemically, thermally and physically characterized in order to select the most optimal samples to be reprocessed for improved valuable extractions. Due to their high concentration of ZnO and PbO, three EAF dusts were identified as promising raw materials while two CF dusts will be employed as co-adjuvant for magnetic
fraction reduction and smelting. Preliminary hints about the next reprocessing steps are also revealed.

AB  - Organobentonites have been applied for the removal of two common non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, ibuprofen (IBU) and diclofenac sodium (DS), from aqueous solutions. Two surfactants, one with and the other without benzyl group (octadecyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride, ODMBA, and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, HDTMA), in amounts equivalent to 50, 75, and 100% of the cation exchange capacity of bentonite were used for the preparation of organobentonites. Successful modification of bentonite was confirmed by several methods: X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), point of the zero charge (pHPZC), determination of exchanged inorganic cations in bentonite, determination of textural properties, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Kinetic and thermodynamic data on the adsorption of IBU and DS showed that drug adsorption was controlled by the type and the amount of surfactant incorporated into the bentonite and by their arrangement in the interlayer space and at the surface of organobentonites. The adsorption of both drugs increased with an increase in the amount of both surfactants in organobentonites. The presence of the benzyl group in organobentonites enhanced the adsorption of IBU and DS and was more pronounced for IBU. Drug adsorption fits the pseudo-second-order kinetic model the best. The thermodynamic data revealed that the adsorption process was endothermic in nature and with increase of the amount of both surfactants drug adsorption processes were more spontaneous. The results obtained from this study revealed that adsorbents based on surfactants modified bentonite are promising candidates for IBU and DS removal from contaminated water.

AB  - INTRODUCTION: Following orthopedic surgery, bacterial infection may lead to significant complications related to
inflammation in the peri-implant region, including the potential for implant loosening. To address this concern, the
surface of metallic implants was modified through the application of bioactive and antibacterial coatings, aiming to
mitigate these issues.
EXPERIMENTAL: HAP/PVA/CS/Gent coatings was single-step electrophoretically deposited from four-component
aqueous suspension containing 1 wt.% hydroxyapatite powder (HAP, particles < 200 nm particle size, Sigma-Aldrich),
0.1 wt.% poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA, medium molecular weight 89 to 98 kDa, 99 % hydrolysed, Sigma-Aldrich), 0.05 wt%
chitosan powder (CS, medium molecular weight, 190 to 310kDa with 75 to 85 % deacetylation degree, Sigma-Aldrich), and
aqueous gentamicin sulfate solution (Gent, concentration 50 mg/ml, Sigma-Aldrich) on titanium plates (Sigma-Aldrich).
Antibacterial activity of HAP/PVA/CS/Gent coating was evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus TL (culture collection-
FTM, University of Belgrade, Serbia) and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, while kinetics of antibacterial activity was monitored
according to our previously published data [1]. In vitro cytotoxicity assay was performed towards two fibroblast cell lines
of different origin-mouse origin cell line (L929 (ATCC CRL-6364)) and human lung origin cell line (MRC-5 (ATCC CCL-171)) [2].
To evaluate the statistical significance of the biological assay results (antibacterial activity, cytotoxicity and ALP activity),
one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by a multiple comparisons posthoc test was used.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: HAP/PVA/CS/Gent coating exhibited strong antibacterial effect against both S. aureus
and E. coli, especially pronounced against S. aureus, causing bactericidal effect. Cytotoxic effect of HAP/PVA/CS/Gent
coating was not pronounced in investigated MRC-5 and L929 cell lines. MRC-5 fibroblast cells in contact with
HAP/PVA/CS/Gent doubled alkaline phosphatase levels compared to their contact with the control samples
(HAP/PVA/CS), indicating good osteogenic properties.
CONCLUSIONS: Electrophoretically deposited HAP/PVA/CS/Gent bioceramic coatings on titanium, demonstrated
significant potential as implants in orthopedic practice, functioning as drug carriers. Not only do they possess
antibacterial properties, but they also exhibit no adverse effects on living tissue.

AB  - INTRODUCTION: Tissue engineering strives for innovative solutions in addressing challenges associated with
contemporary bone tissue implants. This study focuses on the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of hydroxyapatite-based
bioceramic composites containing antibacterial agents onto titanium surfaces. Two composite coatings, hydroxyapatite/
chitosan (HAP/CS) and hydroxyapatite/chitosan/gentamicin (HAP/CS/Gent) were developed to combat issues such as
poor adhesion, limited antibacterial potential, limited bioactivity, and potential toxicity of implant materials [1].
EXPERIMENTAL: EPD was performed at constant voltage (5 V, 12 min) on pure Ti plates from aqueous (HAP/CS and
HAP/CS/Gent) suspensions. The uniformity and functionality of the deposited coatings were assessed through
comprehensive physico-chemical characterization using X-ray diffraction (XRD) (Philips PW 1710, Netherlands) and
scanning electron microscopy (SEM, Hitachi S-4700, J) equipped with energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDS, X-Max,
Oxford Instruments, UK). Antibacterial activity was evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus TL and Escherichia coli ATCC
25922 by quantitatively monitoring changes in the viable number of bacterial cells in suspension. Cytotoxicity against
MRC-5 and L929 cell lines was investigated using trypan blue dye-exclusion test (DET) and MTT assay for assessing cell
metabolic activity. Statistical significance was determined for antibacterial and cytotoxicity results by one-way analysis
of variance (ANOVA), followed by multiple comparisons post-hoc test.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: XRD revealed broadened diffraction maximums corresponding to fine HAP crystallites.
Porous surface with homogeneously distributed spherical HAP agglomerates embedded in wax-like polymers' matrix of
CS was observed for both coatings by SEM. The addition of gentamicin significantly enhanced the antibacterial activity
of the HAP/CS/Gent coating – complete reduction of S. aureus bacterial cells was achieved within 1 h of exposure. MTT
and DET tests indicated low cytotoxicity against MRC-5 and L929 tested cell line for both samples. Slightly decreased
cell percentage viability due to gentamicin presence was observed for HAP/CS/Gent.
CONCLUSIONS: Single-step EPD yielded antibacterial composite coatings with potential for biomedical applications.
HAP/CS/Gent showed successful gentamicin loading, favorable crystalline structure, and strong antibacterial effects.
The presence of fine HAP crystallites yielded a larger surface area, favorable for new bone growth and improved
osseointegration. HAP/CS/Gent exhibited good antibacterial activity against both tested bacteria (especially
pronounced against S. aureus – bactericidal effect), while preserving low cytotoxicity, indicating the high potential for
biomedical applications.
