TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE WASTEWATER TREATMENT: COMPARATIVE STUDY OF HYBRID ELECTROCOAGULATION PROCESSES WITH ZEOLITE, ULTRASOUND, AND MAGNET

This study evaluates three hybrid electrocoagulation (EC) processes with aluminium electrodes:EC-zeolite process (EC+Z), EC-zeolite-ultrasound-assisted process (EC+Z+US), and EC-zeolitemagnet-assisted process (EC+Z+MAG) for compost wastewater treatment with a large content oforganic matter. The focus was on evaluating the effects of these processes...

PHYTOREMEDIATION POTENTIAL OF WILD PLANTS

Phytoremediation with wild plant species could be an environmentally friendly and economicalsolution. Selected wild plants like mint, oregano, chamomile, nettle, and St. John’s wort, from ruralareas in Bosnia and Herzegovina, were collected, lyophilized, and acid-digested for heavy metalsanalysis. Nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), cadm...

ENHANCING ECO-EFFICIENT LABORATORY-SCALE STEEL PRODUCTION VIA INNOVATIVE PROCESS AND EQUIPMENT DESIGN WITH CIRCULAR RESOURCE UTILIZATION

This study presents the development of an eco-efficient laboratory-scale production route for longsteel products, focusing on sustainable casting and hot deformation processes. Conventionalcasting using 80x80 mm molds and gravity filling generated significant shrinkage defects, leadingto scrap generation, repeated melting, and reduced material effi...

SURFACE DEGRADATION MONITORING CAUSED BY CAVITATION EROSION AFTER CORROSION IN THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT

Monitoring cavitation erosion in materials is crucial for their performance in environmentscharacterized by severe fluid flow conditions. Materials such as metals, ceramics, and composites,commonly used in these applications, must possess specific mechanical properties to effectivelyresist cavitation erosion. Additionally, various environmental fac...

ROUGHNESS OF AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEEL DEPENDING ON MICROALLOYING ELEMENTS AND NONMETALLIC INCLUSIONS

The demand for stainless steels has been steadily increasing across industries such as automotive,aerospace, aviation, medical technology, and household appliances, primarily due to their excellentcorrosion resistance, low thermal conductivity, and favorable strength-to-weight ratio. Many ofthese applications involve components with complex geometr...
