The presence of pharmaceuticals in natural waters has been the subject of numerous studies in the last decade due to their potential negative effects on human health and the environment. Indeed, the intensive use of pharmaceuticals leads to their presence in municipal wastewater. Unfortunately, international and national regulations still do not require continuous monitoring of the presence of pharmaceuticals in natural waters and drinking water, so wastewater treatment plants do not focus on removing them from wastewater. Diclofenac, 2-[2-(2,6-dichloroanilino)phenyl]acetic acid (DCF), is a nonsteroidal compound used as an analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic drug and is therefore commonly found in wastewater. Due to its properties, DCF remains biologically active in the aquatic environment and easily enters the food chain. Therefore, DCF should be removed from wastewater before it is discharged into water bodies. Adsorption is an efficient and simple method that can be used to remove DCF from water. In this study, the possibility of removing DCF by adsorption on activated carbon is investigated. Modified hazelnut shell (MHS), modified commercial activated carbon Cullar (MC) and unmodified commercial activated carbon Cullar (C) were batch tested as adsorbents. The tested adsorbents were characterised by FTIR, zeta potential and pH pzc , while the adsorbent efficiency was tested in the pH range from 2 to 10 and described by isothermal studies. Among the tested adsorbents, the maximum uptake of 48.7 mg g −1 was found when modified activated carbon Cullar was used, while both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models fitted well to the data. Modified activated carbon from hazelnut shells showed effective removal of DCF.

The aim of this study was to investigate the photolytic and photocatalytic degradation of neonicotinoids in an aqueous solution. Acetamiprid (ACE) and thiacloprid (TIA), two widely used insecticides, were used as model components. Experiments were performed in a flat-plate photoreactor under conditions of recirculation of the reaction mix - ture over an immobilised photocatalyst layer (TiO 2 modified by urea) using two artificial lamps for simulation of solar irradiation (2.4 % UVB and 12 % UVA; 300–700 nm). The catalyst used was characterised by XRD, UV/Vis-DRS, BET, SEM/EDX, and CHNS analysis. All experiments were performed at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, at a recirculation flow rate of 200 cm 3 min −1 , and at an initial concentration of ACE and TIA of 10 mg dm −3 . For most measurements, the reaction mixture was sonicated for 15 min immediately before charging the reactor. The study focused on the influence of the pH of the initial solution on the efficiency of photocatalytic and photolytic degradation. It was found that photocatalytic deg - radation of the two model components was most effective under acidic operating conditions, i.e. , at pH 4.5, while photolysis resulted in their minimum degradation. It was also observed that pretreatment of the reaction mixture with ultrasound promoted photocatalytic degradation, while in the case of photolytic degradation, the application of ultrasound did not contribute to better degradation. Finally, photocatalytic degradation of TIA proved to be more successful than photodegradation of ACE (66.4 % vs. 25.8 %) under identical process conditions.

The occurrence and concentrations of fluoride in surface and groundwater depend on pH, total dissolved solids, alkalinity, hardness, and geochemical composition of aquifers. However, in many countries, elevated fluoride concentration values are the result of fluoride-contaminated wastewater discharges. Because of fluoride pollution and the health problems that it causes, the World Health Organization (WHO) has set a maximum permissible fluoride content in drinking water of 1.5 mg l −1 . There are different ways of removing elevated concentrations of fluoride from water, such as coagulation and precipitation, membrane processes, electrochemical treatments, ion-exchange and its modification, but the adsorption process is generally accepted as the cheapest and most effective method for removing fluoride from water. Organic waste is increasing every day, especially in developed countries, and is generated in both industries and households. One of the ways to reduce such waste is the production of adsorbents for water defluorination. Adsorbents, most often pre - pared as activated carbon, can be obtained from various materials such as egg shells, fruit and vegetable peel, various leaves, stems, trunk bark, grain shells, legume shells, and many others. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the latest research on the use of adsorbents obtained from organic waste materials in order to remove elevated concentrations of fluoride from water.

Compost leachate was treated with coagulation/flocculation followed by filtration in order to obtain effluent suitable for further purification by reverse osmosis process. The poly aluminium chloride coagulant and the poly acryl amide flocculant were ap - plied for coagulation/flocculation process. Filtration tests were performed to choose the proper fabric for filtration of compost leachate. There were huge differences between compost leachate samples’ properties taken at the plant; therefore, it was difficult to determine the optimum coagulant/flocculant dosage. It was found that, among the fabrics available, only one was appropriate, and was made of polypropylene. With other filter fabrics the pressure during the filtration increased above 6 bar, which means above the highest specified allowed pressure for the device used. The filtration was carried out with several differently pretreated samples of compost leachate. The turbidity was reduced by as much as 89.8 %. The particle-size distribution analyses showed that most colloids and suspended solids were removed after the treatment. The results indicate that combination of coagulation/flocculation followed by filtration is not adequate for proper treatment of compost leachate, and some other technique, such as electrocoagulation, ultrafiltration, and nanofiltration need to be investigated.

It is an exceptional challenge to perform organic reactions in water. In the last decade, scientific research in the field of water as a green solvent has continued to grow exponentially. Apart from being cheap, water is harmless to the environment and sometimes gives completely unexpected reactivity in reactions. There is a wide range of organic reactions that can take place in water: from common oxidation-reduction reactions, reactions involving carbocations and carbocations, pericyclic reactions, transition metal reactions, and others. Organic reactions in an aqueous medi - um are used in the chemistry of carbohydrates and in the chemical modification of biomolecules. More recently, water has been used as a medium in microwave synthesis. This review gives an insight into the importance of this field, since organic reactions in water as a solvent, take place according to the principles of green chemistry.

Investigated were the influence of drying and pressing parameters of rapeseed, sunflower, and safflower seeds on oil yield, as well as antioxidant addition on the oxidative stability of cold pressed oils. The parameters of the oilseeds and cold pressed oils quality (moisture content, iodine value, saponification value, peroxide value, free fatty acids, and insoluble impurities content) were determined using standard methods. In terms of oxidative stability, rosemary, green tea, and pomegranate extracts were used as natural antioxidants, and propyl gallate was used as synthetic antioxidant. The results showed that the moisture content of the oilseeds, as well as nozzle size and electromotor frequency of the press had an effect on the yield of cold pressed oil. By reducing the nozzle size and electromotor frequency, the volume of produced cold pressed oil increased. Rosemary extract effectively increased the oxidative stability of sunflower and safflower oils, and green tea extract increased the stability of rape - seed oil. Greater stabilisation of the tested oils was achieved with the addition of 0.4 % of natural antioxidants compared to the addition of 0.2 %. The synthetic antioxidant, propyl gallate, failed to stabilise safflower oil, and unlike the natural antioxidants, it was less protective for rapeseed and sunflower oil.

Plastics are highly advanced materials that have a vast array of applications and are produced globally in an approximate amount of 350 to 400 million tons every year. Nevertheless, there are serious concerns about plastic waste and pollution as a result of the misuse and lack of control of their use in industries, including packaging, transportation, manufacturing, and agriculture. Approximately 1,000 years are required for plastic bags to decompose efficiently. Additionally, CO 2 and dioxins are released into the atmosphere by burning plastics, and they contribute to global warming. The Earth’s environment is over- whelmed with waste, mostly from poor recycling practices and low circular usage, resulting in millions of tons of waste generated annually. To combat this, new technologies for recycling post-consumer plastics are desperately needed to decrease plastic waste and improve the environment, while also finding ways to utilise these materials. Due to the inadequate disposal methods currently available for plastic waste, there has been increased interest in the use of microorganisms and enzymes designed for the biodegradation of non-degradable synthetic polymers via biocatalytic depolymerisation indicating that plastics treatment and recycling can be more efficient and sustainable.

This review presents part of scientific research in the development of shape memory alloys (SMA) based on copper at the Faculty of Metallurgy of the University of Zagreb in the period from 2006 to 2022, in cooperation with a number of universities and scientific institutions in the region. The following SMA alloys were studied: CuAlNi, CuAlMn, etc. Physical modelling, including nu - merical simulation of microstructure evolution and thermal analysis were performed. The SMA alloys were produced in arc, high-frequency, and induction furnaces by means of three different technologies: melt spinning, casting in metallic and/or graphite moulds, and continuous casting in bars. The selected SMA alloys were then hot and cold rolled. The heat treatment (quenching and tempering) and the characterisation of the functional properties of the SMA alloys under the different conditions were carried out. Numerous sophisticated methods were used to characterise the functional properties, in addition to testing the mechanical properties: optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), ener - gy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), etc. According to several parameters (ductility, corrosion resistance, etc. ), it could be concluded that CuAlMn was the best alloy. As results of this investigation on SMA alloys, according to the CROSBI database (by December 23, 2022), the research team has published 33 articles in journals (including 23 articles in journals indexed in the Web of Science database), 74 papers in proceedings of international conferences, 18 abstracts in proceedings of conferences, and 5 other papers. In addition, 1 doctoral thesis, 12 bachelor theses, and 25 master theses were prepared and defended in the field of technical sciences in the areas of metallurgy and chemical engineering.
本文综述了萨格勒布大学冶金学院在2006年至2022年期间与该地区多所大学和科学机构合作开发基于铜的形状记忆合金(SMA)的部分科学研究。研究了以下几种SMA合金:CuAlNi、CuAlMn等。进行了物理模拟，包括微观结构演化的数值模拟和热分析。SMA合金是通过三种不同的技术在电弧炉、高频炉和感应炉中生产的:熔体纺丝、金属和/或石墨模具铸造和棒材连铸。然后对选定的SMA合金进行热轧和冷轧。对SMA合金在不同条件下的热处理(淬火和回火)和功能性能进行了表征。除了测试机械性能外，还使用了许多复杂的方法来表征功能特性:光学显微镜(OM)，扫描电子显微镜(SEM)，透射电子显微镜(TEM)，能量色散光谱(EDS)，动态力学分析(DMA)， x射线衍射(XRD)，电化学阻抗谱(EIS)等。根据几个参数(延展性、耐腐蚀性等)，可以得出CuAlMn是最好的合金。根据CROSBI数据库(截至2022年12月23日)，研究小组在期刊上发表了33篇论文(其中Web of Science数据库索引期刊23篇)，在国际会议论文集上发表了74篇论文，在会议论文集中发表了18篇摘要，并发表了5篇其他论文。在冶金、化工等技术科学领域，撰写并答辩博士论文1篇，学士论文12篇，硕士论文25篇。

In addition, 1 doctoral thesis, 12 bachelor theses, and 25 master theses were prepared and defended in the field of technical sciences in the areas of metallurgy and chemical engineering.","PeriodicalId":43849,"journal":{"name":"Kemija u Industriji-Journal of Chemists and Chemical Engineers","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46684420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
