PYROLYSIS OF AGRICULTURAL RESIDUES AND PLASTIC WASTE: CHARACTERIZATION OF LIQUID FRACTION AND FEEDSTOCK COMPOSITION INFLUENCE
Pyrolysis, as a process of thermal degradation of waste materials in an oxygen-free environment, is an efficient method for converting waste into valuable products. This technology helps reduce the accumulation of agricultural and plastic waste, whose improper disposal poses an environmental problem. At the same time, pyrolysis produces p...

GRANULATED ACTIVATED CARBON AS AN EFFICIENT ADSORBENT FOR REMOVAL OF ORGANIC MATTER FROM WATER
This study examined the characteristics of granulated activated carbon (GAC) as an adsorbent for the removal of organic matter from the surface water of the Jala River. The adsorbent was characterized by XRD, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, BET and SEM/EDS methods, while a detailed physicochemical characterization was performed for the water sample. The ...

CHARACTERIZATION OF THE STONE FROM THE JOŠANICA QUARRY AND THE POSSIBILITY FOR ITS APPLICATION
Stone samples were sampled from three fields: Field A, Field B, and Field C. In this work, chemical and mineralogical analysis of the stone was performed. The chemical analysis of the stone was done by volumetric, complexometric, spectrophotometric, gravimetric and X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF). Mineralogical analysis was done by XRD analysis. ...
