AB  - The occurrence and distribution of yttrium and rare earth elements (REYs), along with major elements and heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) in coal fly ash (CFA) from five coal-fired power plants (CFPPs), were analyzed, and the REY-associated ecological and health risks were assessed. The individual REYs in CFA were abundant in the following order: Ce > La > Nd > Y > Pr > Gd > Sm > Dy > Er > Yb > Eu > Ho > Tb > Tm > Lu. The total REY content ranged from 135 to 362 mg/kg, averaging 302 mg/kg. The mean light-to-heavy REY ratio was 4.1, indicating prevalent light REY enrichment in CFA. Significantly positive correlations between the REYs suggested that they coexist and share similar origins in CFA. REYs were estimated to pose low to moderate ecological risks, with risk index (RI) values ranging from 66 to 245. The hazard index (HI) and target cancer risk (TCR) of REYs from CFA, estimated to be higher for children (HIc = 0.15, TCRc = 8.4 × 10−16) than for adults (HIa = 0.017, TCRa = 3.6 × 10−16), were well below the safety limits (HI = 1, TCR = 1.0 × 10−6). However, the danger to human health posed by HMs in the same CFA samples (HIc = 5.74, TCRc = 2.6 × 10−4, TCRa = 1.1 × 10−4) exceeded the safe thresholds (excl. HIa = 0.63). The mean RI and HI attributed to REYs in CFA were 14% and 2.6%, respectively, of the total risks that include HMs.

AB  - Mine waters and tailings resulting from mining and mineral processing often have a harmful effect on the local environment. Copper has a strong biocidal activity that greatly affects ecosystems. Therefore, the removal of copper from wastewater is of great importance to the environment. Chitosan, a natural biopolymer, obtained from chitin, the most abundant natural fiber, often has better properties than much more expensive synthetic polymers. This paper investigates the application of chitosan-based sorbents for removing copper from aqueous solutions. A novel adsorbent, chitosan hydrogel beads (CHBs), was synthesized from chitosan flakes (medium molecular weight), via ionic/covalent cross-linking. Batch experiments were carried out to optimize the process conditions for efficient removal of Cu(II) and to determine the adsorption capacity of prepared CHBs. The results showed that the maximum Cu(II) adsorption capacity estimated with Langmuir isotherm modeling was 103.6 mg/g which was three times higher than chitosan flakes (33.7 mg/g).

AB  - We investigated the capability of microorganisms isolated from environments polluted with perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) to conduct biotransformation of these emerging pollutants. Two different microbial consortia (chemoorganoheterotrophic bacteria and total yeast and molds) were isolated from two river sediments in Saitama and Osaka, Japan, known for long term pollution with perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). The microbial consortia were incubated in the presence of added PFOS and PFOA, and decreases in concentrations of these compounds were between 46–69% and 16–36%, respectively. Decreases in concentrations were, in part, due to sorption on biomass, but defluorinated PFOS and PFOA products were not detected. However, untargeted analysis suggested the presence of several metabolites found only in samples from consortia with PFOS and PFOA but not in the control samples. Molecular formula candidates were narrowed down to two options, C18H28O5F and C21H27O4. It was assumed that these formulas were associated with unsaturated monofluorinated fatty acids and hydrocarbons with multiple unsaturated bonds or ring structures.

AB  - Ni nanoparticles supported on nitrogen-doped carbon (NDC) prepared via salt-melt synthesis with a hierarchical porosity were successfully applied as the catalyst for the degradation of Kraft lignin. It is shown that Ni-NDC is more efficient when compared to Ni nanoparticles deposited on an N-free carbon support, prepared with similar porosity features (Ni-C) and to Ni nanoparticles deposited on a commercial carbon (Ni-Cref). The efficiency of these materials was compared for reactions performed both in batch and flow reactors, highlighting the effect of the reactor setup on the stability of the recovered catalysts.

AB  - The aim of this paper was to investigate whether changes in the quantity and structure of humic acids (HA) occur during bioremediation of waste mazute (heavy residual fuel oil). The effects of humification on the structure of HA were evaluated by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), potentiometric titrations, the ratio of absorbances at 465 and 665 nm (E4/E6 ratio) and the ratio. Also, the quality of humification was monitored by determining parameters which are important for measuring the evolution of humic substances (HS), such as CHA/CFA (the humic acidifulvic acidratio), the rate of extraction (TE) and the index of polymerization (IP). An increase of the content of HA from 0.23% to 0.70% was observed during the bioremediation process. The FT-IR spectra and 04 ratio of HA extracted at the beginning and the end of the process indicate structural changes during the bioremediation process. The groups containing aromatic and carboxylic carbon increased, resulting in HA structures of higher aromaticity. An increase of the B4/E6 ratio during bioremediation treatment implied the enrichment of HA with functional oxygen groups. Potentiometric titrations of HA solution showed increases in the buffering and the redox capacities of HA during the bioremediation process. The results of parameters of humification showed an increase of the compositional carbon in HA at the end, compared to at the start, of bioremediation, while the carbon that belonged to fulvic acids (FA) reduced by 44%. Transformation into HA is the likely cause of this observed reduction. The TE and the IP demonstrated that humification occured during the bioremediation process. According to the available data, this is the first report on synthesis of HS during bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons. (C) 2017 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB  - Iron and sulfur oxidizing chemolithoautotrophic acidophilic bacteria, such as Acidithiobacillus species, hold the dominant role in mine environments characterized by low pH values and high concentrations of reduced sulfur and iron compounds, such as ores, rocks and acid drainage waters from mines. On the other hand, heterotrophic microorganisms, especially their biofilms, from these specific niches are receiving increased attention, but their potential eco-physiological roles have not been fully understood. Biofilms are considered a threat to human health, but biofilms also have beneficial properties as they are deployed in waste recycling and bioremediation systems. We have analyzed interactions of the metal tolerant heterotrophic microorganisms in biofilms with iron oxidizing autotrophic bacteria both from the sulphidic mine environment (copper mine Bor, Serbia). High tolerance to Cu2+, Cd2+ and Cr6+ and the presence of genetic determinants for the respective metal tolerance and biofilm-forming ability was shown for indigenous heterotrophic bacteria that included strains of Staphylococcus and Rhodococcus. Two well characterized bacteria-Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 (known biofilm former) and Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 (known metal resistant representative) were also included in the study. The interaction and survivability of autotrophic iron oxidizing Acidithiobacillus bacteria and biofilms of heterotrophic bacteria during co-cultivation was revealed. Finally, the effect of heterotrophic biofilms on bioleaching process with indigenous iron oxidizing Acidithiobacillus species was shown not to be inhibitory under in vitro conditions.

AB  - Separation of yttrium(III) from strontium(II) with 15% (v/v) di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (DEHPA) in dodecane was carried out in a hollow fiber supported liquid membrane (SLM) extraction system operated under closed-loop recirculation of the donor and acceptor phase. The donor phase was a mixture of 5.7 mmol dm(-3) of Sr(II) and 0.23 mmol dm(-3) of Y(III) in 0.1 mol dm(-3) HCl, the acceptor solution was 3 mol dm(-3) HCl, and the donor to acceptor phase volume ratio was 6.2. At the donor flow rate of 4.7 cm(3) min(-1) and the acceptor flow rate of 0.8 cm(3) min(-1), the yield of Y(III) in the acceptor phase (in the form suitable for radiopharmaceutical preparation) reached 60% after 360 min with a molar ratio of Y(III) to Sr(II) in the acceptor of 250:1, as compared to 1:25 in the donor phase. The yield of Y(III) was 72% at the acceptor flow rate to 1.9 cm3 min(-1), but a breakthrough of Sr(II) through liquid membrane increased from 0.02 to 0.2%.

AB  - Perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (PFSAs) and perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (PFCAs) were analyzed in sediment samples from the wastewater canal draining the industrial complex of Pancevo, Serbia (oil refinery, petrochemical plant, and fertilizer factory). The canal is directly connected to Europes second largest river, the Danube, which drains its water into the Black Sea. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) up to 5.7 ng d(-1) weight (dw) and total Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) up to 6.3 ng g(-1) dw were detected. Compared to other reports, high levels of PFOS were found, even though PFCs are not used in the industrial production associated with this canal. The PFOS concentration in water was recalculated using the adsorption coefficient, K-oc from literature. Using the average output of wastewater from the canal, a mass load of 1.38 kg PFOS per year discharged in the Danube River has been calculated, which undoubtedly points to the contribution to global persistent organic pollution of surface waters originating from this industrial place.

AB  - The specific activities of natural radionuclides (K-40, Ra-226 and Th-232) and Chernobyl-derived Cs-137 were measured in soil profiles representing typical soil types of Belgrade (Serbia): chernozems, fluvisols, humic gleysols, eutric cambisols, vertisols and gleyic fluvisols. The influence of soil properties and content of stable elements on radionuclide distribution down the soil profiles (at 5 cm intervals up to 50 cm depth) was analysed. Correlation analysis identified associations of K-40, Ra-226 and Cs-137 with fine-grained soil fractions. Significant positive correlations were found between Cs-137 specific activity and both organic matter content and cation exchange capacity. Saturated hydraulic conductivity and specific electrical conductivity were also positively correlated with the specific activity of Cs-137. The strong positive correlations between Ra-226 and Th-232 specific activities and Fe and Mn indicate an association with oxides of these elements in soil. The correlations observed between K-40 and Cr, Ni, Pb and Zn and also between Cs-137 and Cd, Cr, Pb and Zn could be attributed to their common affinity for clay minerals. These results provide insight into the main factors that affect radionuclide migration in the soil, which contributes to knowledge about radionuclide behaviour in the environment and factors governing their mobility within terrestrial ecosystems.

AB  - The Mediterranean blue mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis was used as a pollution level indicator in the Boka Kotorska Bay of the southeastern Adriatic on the Montenegrin coast. The ever-increasing urbanization and industrialization, combined with a poor sewage system, an increase in both marine and inland traffic, as well as insufficient water circulation in the Bay itself have resulted in some level of pollution. Since heavy metals are extremely toxic and do not easily undergo biodecomposition, the results of this study supply valuable information concerning the metal pollution of the marine environment in Boka Kotorska Bay. The concentrations of the investigated metals and nonmetals accumulated in the mussels were determined during the fall of 2007 using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) for Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Cd, Hg, Pb, Sn and V, and Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (ED-XRF) to determine the concentrations of Fe, Zn, Si, P, S. Cl, K and Ca. ED-XRF was also used to determine the levels of non-metals and elements present in high concentrations. Comparing the data from this study in relation to data from other regions for Mytilus galloprovincialis, the mussel sampled from the Boka Kotorska Bay showed a moderate level of pollution.

AB  - Bone char powder, composed mainly of poorly crystalline hydroxyapatite (Ca-10(PO4)(6)(OH)(2)), carbon and CaCO3, has potential applicability in the removal of Co2+ ions from contaminated effluents. In the present study, the influence of process parameters: particle size, agitation speed, initial pH and initial sorbate concentration, onto kinetics and mechanism of Co2+ sorption was studied and discussed. In order to describe and compare time evolution of the process under different conditions, the experimental data were analyzed using pseudo-first, pseudo-second and Vermeulens kinetic models. Generally, experimental results were best fitted with the pseudo-second-order model, which accurately predicted the equilibrium sorbed amounts. The pseudo-second-order rate constant was the most influenced by variations in initial metal concentration and pH, in the investigated ranges. The conclusions about sorption mechanism were derived based on Co2+ amounts sorbed during time, as well as considering solution pH changes, changes of Ca2+ amounts released into liquid phase and Ca2+/Co2+ molar ratios. It was concluded that rapid sorption stage was governed by surface complexation reactions, whereas the contribution of the ion-exchange mechanism increased with time and became more significant in the second, slower phase. Experimentally determined maximum sorption capacity towards Co2+, under optimal conditions, was found to be 0.38 mmol/g. The results show that bone char represents cost-effective alternative to synthetic hydroxyapatite sorbent.

AB  - Mentha piperita L. (Lamiaceae) was cultivated under the controlled laboratory conditions in the presence of varying levels of trivalent and hexavalent chromium in order to determine its capacity to control chromium uptake and its tolerance limit. The plants were grown in pots at 25 degrees C with controlled soil moisture (about 80 % of the water retention capacity). The soil was treated with increasing concentrations of Cr(NO3)3 (40, 80, 120, and 200 mg kg(-1)) and K2Cr2O7 (2.5, 5, 10, and 15 mg kg(-1)). A control group of plants was grown without the addition of chromium to the soil. For each concentration, three acidity levels were tested: natural, one pH unit below and one above the natural acidity of the soil (pH(2) 6, pH(1) 5 and pH(3) 7). The plant samples were digested according to the standard procedure and chromium content was determined by GFAAS. For all plants, the transportation index was calculated and the results (expressed in mg kg(-1)) at pH(1), pH(2) and pH(3), respectively, were: 0.21-0.80, 0.06-1.06 and 0.04-0.52. The recoveries were good (72.73-115.3 %) as evidenced by the analysis of certified reference materials (NIST SRM 8433 - Corn Bran and NIST SRM 1547 - Peach Leaves). The mobility of chromium through the plants tissues is discussed in regard to its competition with iron and manganese for transport binding sites; hence Mn and Fe were also determined.

Eleven metals (Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Cr, Ni, Pb, Cd, Ca, K and Mg) were selected as chemical features/descriptors and analyzed by FAAS/FAES and ETAAS. In a chemometrics evaluation of investigated plants-soil system, univariate, as well as multivariate statistics methods were applied. Principal component analysis (PCA) allowed considerable reduction in a number of variables and the detection of structure in the relationships between metals that give complementary information about the relations and elemental patterns within plants-soil system. The power of chemometrics was also used in exploring the potential natural and/or anthropogenic sources responsible for metal content in both medicinal plants and soil samples. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) was used to explore herbal drugs grouping according to corresponding soil samples as additional information to the output obtained by PCA. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

AB  - The concentrations of Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, K, Ca, Mg, Al, Ba and B in 26 herbal drugs of special importance in phytopharmacywere studied. Flame atomic absorption and emission spectrometry (FAAS, FAES), as well as inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), were applied in this work. The whole procedure, from sample preparation, via dissolution, to measurements, was validated by using CRM (NIST 1573a-tomato leaves), and the obtained recovery values are in the range from 91 to 102%. Drug samples originated from medicinal plants cultivated in Serbia contained Cu (4.47-14.08 mg kg(-1)), Zn (8.4-54.5 mg kg(-1)), Mn (9-155 mg kg(-1)), Fe (47-546 mg kg(-1)), K (0.20-6.24%), Ca (0.18-1.84%), Mg (0.13-1.09%), Al (16-416 mg kg(-1)), Ba (11.70-84.83 mg kg(-1)) and B (5.1-118.7 mg kg(-1)). In order to get a better insight into the elemental patterns, a common chemometric approach to data evaluation was used. Four significant factors identified by principal component analysis (PCA) were attributed partly to the significant influential sources and high mobility of some elements thus referring to potential anthropogenic contamination as well.

AB  - Elemental profiles of the total analyte content of major, minor and trace elements (Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, K, Ca, Mg, Al, Ba and 13) in 8 herbal drugs, originating from medicinal plants of the family Lamiacae, were determined. Flame atomic absorption/emission spectroscopy (FAAS/FAES), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) were applied, and the advantages and limitations of these techniques are also discussed. The whole procedure, from sample preparation via dissolution to the actual measurements, was validated byusing CRM (NIST 1573a-Tomato leaves). The recovery values obtained were in the range 90.64 - 101.58%. A high degree of similarity in their elemental profiles was noticed from the results of qualitative analysis, while quantitative analysis shows significant diversity due to the variety of the influencing sources. The medicinal plants investigated in this work contained Cu (5.92 - 14.79 mg kg(-1)), Zn (15.0 - 43.0 mg kg(-1)), Mn (25 - 111 mg kg(-1)), Fe (74 - 546 mg kg(-1)), K (1.80 - 6.24 %), Ca (0.90 - 1.43 %), Mg (0. 17 - 0.67 %), Al (49 - 378 mg kg(-1)), Ba (15.53 - 69.84 mg kg(-1)) and B (34.7 - 56.5 mg kg(-1)).

AB  - The concentrations of the elements Cr, Pb, Cd, Zn, Ni, Mn, Cu and As in soil samples from industrial areas in Serbia were studied. The complexity of the data of eight elements in fifty-nine soil samples was reduced by principal component analysis. Three significant factors, in which 78% of the total variance in the data was found, were attributed to possible pollution sources. The crude and fuel oil burning, local smelters and exhaust emissions were shown to impact heavily the soil trace element profile, whereas no distinct soil type factor was observed. This approach, evidencing spatial relationship, enabled a differentiation between the soil samples originating from different areas.
