Leachate water from sanitary landfills represents one of the most complex global environmental problems. This paper examines the possibility of using aluminosilicate material, pyrophyllite, from the Parsovići deposit, as an adsorbent. It was researched the influence of two granulations of pyrophyllite (0-53 μm and 0-100 μm) on the degree of adsorption of heavy metals (Fe, Ni, Mn) from leachate water from the municipal landfill "Desetine", Tuzla. The adsorption experiment was performed using the Batch method, depending on the contact time between the adsorbent and the adsorbate, the mixing speed, and the mass of the adsorbent, pyrophyllite, through two treatments. The results indicate a higher efficiency of the finer fraction of pyrophyllite, and in the competition of the three examined metals, iron is completely removed in the first treatment with both granulations and then nickel with finer granulation and manganese with coarser. After the first treatment, the unpleasant smell was removed, which is certainly a consequence of the removal of ammonia compounds as the most abundant compounds in leachate water. In these pioneering researches, pyrophyllite proved to be effective, and at the same time, it is a cheap, easily available, and environmentally friendly material for leachate water purification.

Wet-strength paper production is of great significance due to its prominent importance in everyday consumer activities. Recently, market demands for paper with specific properties and purposes are increasing. Production of these paper types is very challenging for the manufacturer since they have to meet very specific demands. Wet-strength paper products include bags that come in contact with moisture and wet products, hygienic and kitchen towels, paper towels, packaging products (packages for liquids, aseptic dishes, and a variety of packaging for food), and other special purposes items (tea bags, coffee filters, paper money, etc.) Throughout this research, the focus was on the effects a wetstrength agent has on the tensile strength of paper. The wet strength property of paper is the ratio between the strength of paper in the wet and dry state. The strength in the dry state comes from the hydrogen bonds present in natural cellulose, while the strength of paper in the wet state requires waterproof (covalent) bonds created by the use of a wet strength agent. The wet strength agent used is a cationic PAE resin. The aim of the work is to determine the optimal amount of agent needed in relation to the required value of the tensile strength property of the paper. The investigation of these influences was carried out on Semi Extensible Standard Kraft type of paper in Natron-Hayat.

Aluminium alloy foams are a form of porous metal whose structure resembles the shape of natural materials such as coral, bone, sponge, etc. Due to their structure, these materials retain good mechanical properties of the base material while being significantly lighter than non-porous metal. Metal foams can be used as energy and vibration absorbers, heat exchangers, insulators, and filters. The main disadvantage of this type of material is its high production cost. To reduce production costs, aluminium alloy chips are used as base material. Foams are made of A360 and AA 7075 aluminium alloys. To produce a porous structure, CaCO3 is used as a foaming agent while Zn and CaO were added as stabilizing agents. The main goal of the paper was to investigate the difference in the shape of pores and relative density after foaming with different stabilizing agents.

The electrocoagulation with zeolite addition was used to treat compost leachate. The effects of different current densities and zeolite particle sizes on electrode dissolution, electrode surface condition, and removal efficiency were investigated. The surface of the electrodes was analysed by optical microscope, while the consumption of the aluminium electrodes was investigated by weighing. The results confirmed that the removal efficiency could be improved by conducting the experiment at higher current densities, but the electrodes used were significantly more damaged. Significant damage was also observed on the electrode used in the experiment with larger zeolite particles, which can be related to the stronger abrasion effect.

The particle shape and size of the starting powders represent the most important physical properties, on which the quality of the compacts and final sintered products depends. Two types of powder were analyzed in the paper - electrolytic copper powder with a dendritic particle shape and water-atomized copper powder with an irregular particle shape. The starting powders were sieved through a sieve system with openings of 45 μm, 80 μm, and 120 μm. The characterization of the obtained fractions of both powders was performed by determining the shape and dimensions of the particles using SEM microscopy in combination with ImageJ software, and the apparent density and flow rate were determined using the Hall flowmeter funnel. Pressing of each powder fraction was done using a pressure of 600 MPa. The compacts were further sintered at 1000°C for 2 hours to obtain the final sintered parts. After sintering, their density, hardness, and electrical conductivity were determined and their microstructure was analyzed. The results indicate a great influence of the characteristics of the starting powders on the properties of the final parts obtained by the powder metallurgy route. The particle shape of the powders had a more pronounced influence compared to the particle size.

Polymeric materials have an important role in gluing technology due to their broad application in the wood industry, metal industry, glass, and ceramics industry as well as medicine. This article discusses the basic physicochemical aspects of bonding with adhesives and also, the mechanisms of action of the adhesive materials during bonding based on polymerization processes and different types of polymerization. It was emphasized that depending on the material used in gluing, various adhesives with different physicochemical characteristics facilitate and contribute to the quality of the bonded joints. In this way, it is an insured procedure that is suitable for materials that are sensitive to the effects of heat, because welding and soldering would deform the base material and often the total degradation of its mechanical properties.

The paper presents one aspect of the analysis of energy consumption and productivity of the manufacturing operation. As an example of the operation, the operation of turning with a single-blade tool was taken. Sustainable development in its general concept implies sustainable materials, sustainable design, and sustainable manufacturing. This paper presents an analysis of one important part of sustainable manufacturing, and that is energy saving. The experimental study was conducted as follows. In laboratory conditions, an experimental-mathematical regression model of the relationship between cutting force and processing conditions was defined. Machining experiments were performed under ECO-friendly conditions with technology known as MQCL (Minimum Quantity Cooling Lubrication) machining. The obtained mathematical model was used to calculate the energy consumption and the workpiece material removal rate (MRR, productivity). The results of the analysis showed that there is a lot of space for optimization of machining conditions from the aspect of power consumption, with mandatory calculation and other machining costs, above all, the cost of tools and machine tools. In this regard, recommendations for analysis with the aim of power saving are given.

Fly ash class F from Thermal Power Plant “Stanari” was used in combination with highly plastic brick clay from Busovača to develop building bricks. The brick clay and fly ash were characterized for chemical and mineralogical composition, grain size distribution, and specific gravity. The fly ash has a higher proportion of larger particles and lower specific gravity than clay. The brick clay was mixed with 20, 40, and 60 wt. % of fly ash, formed in a prismatic shape, dried and then fired at 800, 900, and 1000 °C. The fired prisms were characterized for water absorption, apparent porosity, apparent density, and strength and compared with conventional clay prisms. The addition of fly ash of 20, 40, and 60% reduced the mass of the samples by 14, 23, and 31%, increased apparent porosity by 60, 100, and 160%, and reduced the compressive strength by 50, 80, and 90%, respectively. Conducted tests and comparative studies have shown that the fly ash “Stanari” can be used as an additive to the clay “Čavka” in the maximum amount of 20 % and the optimum firing temperature is 900 °C.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation into the effect of nano-silica addition on the mechanical properties and durability of concrete. Three mixes of concrete containing 0%, 2%, and 4% nano-silica by weight of cement were tested. The slump of fresh concrete as well as compressive strength, dynamic modulus of elasticity at 2, 7, 28, 90, and 180 days, and flexural strength at 2, 28, and 90 days of hardened concrete were determined. As for indicators of concrete durability, the total volume of permeable voids, water absorption, the rate of water absorption, and the freeze-thaw scaling resistance were determined. Test results showed that the incorporation of nano-silica in concrete resulted in an improvement of all mechanical properties of concrete, as well as concrete durability parameters that are tested.
