AB  - The possibility of using waste tailings produced by flotation in the lead and zinc mine of Grot, Serbia as a potential source of secondary mineral raw materials was examined. The aim of the research was primarily to carry out a detailed characterization in order to determine the dominant minerals, and, for the first time, to trace the changes occurring in the unit cells of the minerals present in that deposit. There was also a need to determine the exact proportions of the present mineral phases for their further application and utilization as natural resources in environmental protection. Samples were taken from three different sections of tailings: the crest of dam (JKB), outlet pipe of the flotation facility (JOF) and hydrocyclone overflow (JHC). Granulometric separation was performed to facilitate the extraction of certain minerals from waste. The results showed that all samples mainly contained quartz, clinochlore, calcite, albite, pyrite and biotite, but their ratios in each sample varied significantly. After characterization, samples were separated into different fractions and their mineralogical compositions were determined. Depending on the fraction, the mineralogical compositions also changed. Mineralogy and geochemical analysis indicate that waste tailings can be used as a secondary mineral raw materials source applicable in various industries.

AB  - This study presents the characterization of waste vitreous enamel generated during the production process of heating devices in a factory in Southeast Europe. The sample was analyzed for chemical composition and concentrations of heavy metals using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), while the mineralogical composition was determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The functional groups were recorded using DRIFT spectroscopy, and the morphological and microstructural properties were investigated using FESEM measurements. The results showed that the sample waste vitreous enamel contains high levels of heavy metals and must be classified as hazardous waste. Quartz was found to be the most represented mineral in the sample, while oxides of metals Sb, Fe, Ti, and Cu appeared in the form of supporting minerals. The DRIFT spectra showed the presence of silicates, organic materials, and OH groups in Ti(IV)-OH crystal structure. The FESEM analysis revealed different sizes of particles mainly with polygonal forms and pronounced edges corresponding mostly to the silica and the alumina. These findings can contribute to the development of strategies for the safe and sustainable management of waste vitreous enamel.
