INFLUENCE OF CURRENT DENSITY ON LEACHATE TREATMENT EFFICIENCY BY ELECTROCOAGULATION WITH ZEOLITE ADDITION
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 alumini...

REMOVAL OF HEAVY METALS FROM LANDFILL LEACH WATER USING PYROPHYLLITE AS ADSORBENT
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 a...

ANALYSIS OF PRODUCTION METHOD AND STABILIZING AGENT ON STRUCTURE OF ALUMINUM METAL FOAMS
Aluminum 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, ...

EFFECT OF PARTICLE SHAPE AND SIZE OF COPPER POWDERS ON THE PROPERTIES OF SINTERED PARTS
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....

EFFECT OF ADDITION OF WET-STRENGTH AGENT ON TENSILE STRENGTH OF PAPER
Wet-strength paper production is of great significance due to its prominent importance in everyday consumer activities. 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 kit...

TELLURIUM MICROALLOYING OF AUSTENITE STAINLESS STEEL X8CrNiS18-9
More recently modified stainless steels have been used to produce various structural elements that work in complex operating conditions. Stainless steel X8CrNiS18-9 (standard EN 10088-3) is the most commonly used from the group of austenitic stainless steel in terms of machinability. This steel has high mechanical and working properties thanks to a...

ON ONE ASPECT OF SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING Power Consumption vs Productivity
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 ...

EFFECT OF NANO-SILICA ADDITION ON PHYSICO-MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND DURABILITY OF CONCRETE
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...

PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF CLAY “ČAVKA” WITH FLY ASH “STANARI” IN BRICK PRODUCTION
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 particl...

INFLUENCE OF SIGMA PHASE ON GENERAL CORROSION OF AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEEL
Austenitic stainless steel is mostly used at high temperatures. It is known that during heating of the austenitic stainless steel with increasing temperature and time of annealing a microstructure is changed i.e. there is the precipitation of carbides followed by precipitation of secondary phases as a sigma phase. The presence of the delta ferrite ...
