The literature contains numerous reports on kinetic models of consecutive chemical reactions. However, much less attention has been paid to the design of the equally prevalent class of reversible reactions. The results of this study could be applied to the control of investigated chemical reaction at the molecular level, which strongly depends on kinetics and mechanism.
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 16577814The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of commercial ultrafiltration (UF) membrane for cleaning real waste oil-in-water emulsions from metal-working industry.The results showed good membrane performance with total rejections of aluminum and iron ions. It was found out that the highest COD removal efficiencies were determined at 90 %.
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 16152086The basic idea is to consider also indirect unburdening effects on the environment, besides those direct burdening ones. The multiobjective synthesis thus enable to identify solutions that are economically attractive and yet environmentally benign or even unburdening for the environment.
F.13 Development of new production methods and tools or processes
COBISS.SI-ID: 15931926The basic question regarding company's energy supply is "weather it is possible to significantly improve company's energy supply based on renewables". On real case study of large company Perutnina Ptuj it has been shown that the objective can be achieved.
F.04 Increase of the technological level
COBISS.SI-ID: 16359958This contribution provides an overview of carbon (CFs) and nitrogen footprints (NFs) concerning their measures and impacts on the ecosystem and human health. The adversarial relationship between them is illustrated by the three biomass energy production applications, which substitute fossil energy production applications: (i) domestic wood combustion where different fossil energy sources (natural gas, coal, and fuel oil) are supplemented, (ii) bioethanol production from corn grain via the dry-grind process, where petrol is supplemented, and (iii) rape methyl ester production from rape seed oil via catalytic trans-esterification, where diesel is supplemented. The life cycle assessment is applied to assess the CFs and NFs resulting from different energy production applications from "cradle-to-grave" span. The results highlighted that all biomass-derived energy generations have lower CFs and higher NFs whilst, on the other hand, fossil energies have higher CFs and lower NFs.
