APPLICATION OF DEEP EUTECTIC SOLVENTS FOR WATER TREATMENT
To ensure safe drinking water and reduce the harmful impact of wastewater on the environment, pollutants are removed using various water treatment procedures such as oxidation, adsorption, filtration, and biological processes. However, conventional methods only partially remove pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and other organic micropollutants from wat...

NON-TREATED AND UV-IRRADIATED PAEONIA TENUIFOLIA PETAL EXTRACT-LOADED LIPOSOMES
Paeonia tenuifolia L. petals contain bioactive compounds, such as phenolic acids, flavonoid glycosides and aglycones, anthocyanins, anthocyanidins, terpene derivatives, etc. However, the application of the mentioned bioactives from this source is rather low due to the fact that a higher amount of petals need to be collected in order to obtain a dec...

ANALYSIS OF INORGANIC POLLUTION OF THE INDUSTRIAL AREA IN BRANICEVO DISTRICT, THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA
Intensive mining of fossil fuels has caused the exhaustion of nonrenewable natural resources, water, and air pollution, and significant deterioration and degradation of soils. One of the main problems associated with electricity generation from coal combustion is the “energy waste” issue. When analyzing the potentially harmful env...

ORGANIC NANOCONE STRUCTURES AS SENSORS FOR METFORMIN DETECTION
In this study, we investigate the interactions between organic nanocone structures and metformin, a widely prescribed drug for managing high blood sugar levels. To gain deeper insights into binding affinities and noncovalent interactions, we employ a multiscale computational approach that integrates various levels of atomistic modeling. Initially, ...

ASSESMENT OF THE OXIDATIVE STATE OF THERMALLY TREATED SUNFLOWER OIL AFTER REGENERATION WITH MOLECULAR SIEVES
Edible oils undergo undesirable changes over time or during thermal treatment due to enzymatic, microbial, and chemical processes, leading to spoilage. In this study, the oxidative state of sunflower oil was assessed by determining the peroxide value (PV), anisidine value (AV), and Totox value (TV) using standard methods. The oil was heated at temp...

INVESTIGATION OF KINETICS OF ADSORPTION OF METHYLENE BLUE ON ACTIVATED CARBON
This paper investigated the adsorption kinetics of methylene blue (MB) on activated carbon. Tests of the adsorbent (granulometric composition and FT-IR analysis) showed that the adsorbent has a wide distribution of particles (5-250 μm) and that the most frequent vibrations are caused by N=C=N stretching, C=C=C stretching, metal-oxygen vibrations...
