AB  - The removal of environmental pollutants is significant because of their harmful effects on living organisms. Biochar is favorable as a natural adsorbent of environmental pollutants due to its advantages, such as environmental acceptability and economic profitability. This study evaluated the potential of pyrolyzed plum pomace (PyrPP) as an adsorbent for environmental pollutants: Pb2+ ions, pesticides (chlorpyrifos and malathion), as well as organic pollutants BTEX. In order to ameliorate the adsorption capacity of PyrPP, modification by gamma irradiation was performed. Irradiated plum pomace biochar (IrPyrPP) has been shown to be an effective adsorbent, and the material is also sterilized by irradiation, which makes this material potentially sterile adsorbents of the most environmental pollutants from water. The irradiated biochar showed better adsorption performances for the removal of Pb2+ ions, BTEX, and chlorpyrifos. Maximum adsorption capacity (Qmax) of PyrPP for Pb2+, BTEX, chlorpyrifos, and malathion adsorption was 157.0, 17.6, 0.219, and 1.067 mg g− 1 , while Qmax of IrPyrPP for Pb2+, BTEX, chlorpyrifos and malathion was 271.0, 48.0, 0.428 and 0.593 mg g− 1 , respectively. The results obtained during this research suggest that biomass pyrolysis and modification of this biomass by irradiation is a promising way to produce efficient natural sterile sorbents for wastewater treatment.

AB  - In many industrial processes that include fluid flow, cavitation erosion of different engineeringstructures (pumps, turbines, water levels, valves, etc.) during their operation is expected. Metallic,ceramic, and composite materials are usual candidates considered for application in such extremeconditions. In this study, the idea is to synthesize refractory ceramic material based on talc withthe addition of zeolite for utilization as protective coatings in cavitating conditions. Two talc-basedrefractories with zeolites from two Serbian deposits were produced. The behaviors of the samplesin simulated cavitation conditions were examined by an advanced non-destructive methodologyconsisting of monitoring mass loss and surface degradation using image analysis compiled withprincipal component analysis (PCA), interior degradation by ultrasonic measurements, and themicrostructure by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Lower mass loss, surface degradation level,and modeled strength decrease indicated better cavitation resistance of the sample with Igros zeolite,whereby measured strength values validated the model. For the chosen critical strength, the criticalcavitation period as well as critical morphological descriptors, Area and Diameter (max and min),were determined. A Young’s elasticity modulus decrease indicated that surface damage influenceprogressed towards interior of the material. It can be concluded that the proposed methodologyapproach is efficient and reliable in predicting the materials’ service life in extreme conditions.

AB  - Redirecting waste biomass back into the economy can reduce their burden on the environment. The use of waste biomass for the production of fuels, value-added materials or natural fillers has significant economic and environmental benefits. Physico-chemical characterization of waste biomass (plum pomace and fig pomace) was done by proximate, elemental, biochemical analysis, FTIR and SEM analysis. The calorific value of both biomasses can be compared with the calorific value of lignite, which rises their potential use as a solid biofuel. The combustion behavior of biomass was investigated by thermal analysis techniques. Based on thermal degradation experiments performed at four heating rates a kinetic analysis of the biomass decomposition process was accomplished. The kinetic study was done using Kissinger method, Ozawa method, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) method, Starink method, and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) method. The value of activation energy obtained by different kinetic methods was ∼210 kJ/mol for plum pomace and ∼162 kJ/mol for fig pomace. Estimated activation energy values were used to calculate thermodynamic parameters. In addition to the fact that the obtained results can serve as a useful reference for the design of pyrolysis reactors, this research has ecological significance because it solves the problem of solid waste disposal.

AB  - The Republic of Serbia predominantly produces electricity in thermal power plants (TPP) Nikola Tesla (A i B), Kolubara and Kostolac. They are supplied from Kolubara basin mines (Nikola Tesla (A i B), Kolubara) which produces three quarters of Serbian lignite (about 70%), with the mean annual production about 30 million tons of coal and from Kostolac basin (TE Kostolac) which produces 30% of lignite in Serbia. Coal combustion residuals include bottom ash, fly ash and slag. Environmental pollution by coal ash and fly ash has been intensively studied taking into account high content of potentially hazardous elements such as As, Pb, Cd and Cr. Tracking lead sources in environmental studies has usually been performed by stable lead isotopes. The pres- ence, pathways and environmental impact of coal ash and fly ash can be identified using Pb isotopic compositions. In this study, isotopic compositions for 12 coal samples from Kolubara and Kostolac major coal mines and 12 fly ash samples from thermal power plants Kolubara (A and B), Kostolac (A and B), Nikola Tesla TENT (A3, A2, and B1) were determined. Samples were digested in mineral acids mixture. Lead conc- entration and stable Pb isotopes were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The results obtained might be useful in monitoring of Pb poll- ution from the examined sources, as well as in emission control.

AB  - Biochar produced by pyrolysis of plum and fig pomace at 500 C were characterized and investigated as adsorbents for the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solution. Plum and fig pomace are formed after fermentation of this fruit which is used for the preparation of brandy. The brandy industry generates huge amounts of pomace as industrial waste, so pyrolysis as thermochemical technologies was used for organic agro-industrial waste treatment. Plum and fig pomace before and after pyrolysis was characterized using proximate, inorganic and elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). Biochar has a carbon matrix with a high degree of porosity and large surface area, suggesting that it can be used as a surface adsorbent and thus have a significant role in controlling environmental contaminants. The surface modification by gamma irradiation was done to enhance the adsorption capacity of biochar. The heavy metals contents in aqueous solution were analyzed using ICP-OES. The adsorption capacity was estimated using the Langmuir and Freundlich model. The results of this work suggest that pyrolysis and irradiation of biomass is a promising way to produce efficient heavy metal sorbents for waste-water treatment.
