Hexylamine, chloro-derivative of propylamine, and ammonium chloride were used for flotation of Permian carbonaceous copper bearing shale from the Legnica-Glogow Copper Basin region in SW Poland. It was confirmed that naturally hydrophobic shale, known as Kupferschiefer, can be made floatable by application of short chain amines as frothers. It was also established that the short chain amine chloro-derivatives...
Multilayer clustering based adsorption model (uniBET) is aimed at adsorption phenomena modeling with having regard to surface geometrical and energetical heterogeneities. Facilitation of the uniBET model formulas leads to the LBET class models. A review on uniBET model and the analysis of the multilayer heterogeneous adsorption models for characterization of porous materials of carbonaceous origin...
A new method for the preparation of TiO2/Ag bilayers via colloid self-assembly process using well-characterized titanium dioxide and silver suspensions was developed. The titanium dioxide nanoparticles, forming a supporting layer, were 46 nm in diameter, exhibiting an isoelectric point at pH 6.4. The silver nanoparticles, forming an external layer of the diameter of 50 nm were prepared via a chemical...
Recycling of actinides from spent nuclear fuel by their selective separation followed by transmutation in fast reactors will optimize the use of natural uranium resources and minimize the long-term hazard from high-level nuclear waste. This paper describes solvent extraction processes recently developed, aimed at the separation of americium from lanthanide fission products as well as from curium present...
Alpha spectrometry is a highly sensitive and modern measurement technique which can be used to radiochemical and radiological studies of the natural environment. In the paper were presented the results on application of alpha spectrometry in the study for determination of natural (210Po, 210Pb, 234U, 238U) and artificial (238Pu, 239+240Pu and 241Pu) alpha and beta radionuclides in environment of Poland...
This paper presents the results of determination of artificial 137 Cs and natural 40K activity concentrations and same heavy metals in soil samples from Tatra Mts. Results show some differences in the vertical distribution and of examined radionuclides and metals. The change of activity of 137Cs in the soil samples depends mostly on the soil volume density and on the concentration of organic material...
Lately there has been observed the increased presence of chlorates(VII) in the natural environment which can affect human health negatively. Therefore the removal of chlorate(VII) ions using the gel type resin functionalized with the tri-n-butyl ammonium (Dowex™PSR-2) from waters was studied. The main aim was to evaluate the effects of experimental conditions including contact time, initial solution...
Measurements of the dynamic surface tension of the aqueous solutions of methanol, ethanol, propanol, CTAB and SDDS at their given concentrations were made. From the obtained results and the literature data it was concluded that the adsorption of short-chain alcohols at the water-air interface is somewhat similar to that of classical surfactants. For that reason the relationship between the Gibbs standard...
Functional hybrid materials based on magnesium lignosulfonate and silica were obtained and characterized. Magnesium lignosulfonate is a common waste product of the wood pulp industry, while silica is a well-known inorganic material with exceptional physicochemical properties. In this study, silicas with a spherical particle shape were synthesized using a sol-gel method and alternatively in a nonpolar...
Technetium is one of the most important radionuclides in the spent nuclear fuel in context of reprocessing, storage and long term disposal. Spectroelectrochemical studies on the redox behavior of this element are presented and possible pathways of pertechnetate ions reduction are discussed. The stability of technetium (III/IV) species are discussed.
In the present studies the bacterial leaching process is used to extract uranium from the uranium mining wastes. The bioleaching process is environment friendly and gives the extraction yield of over 90%. The bioleaching solutions were obtained from the waste materials located at different places at Lover Silesia (Kowary, Grzmiąca, Kopaniec). Among various templates the hematite Fe2O3 nanoparticles...
The paper presents the studies of metal wettability using two methods: the sessile droplet and immersion ones. Based on the measured contact angles, there was calculated apparent surface free energy from the acidic–basic approach and the contact angle hysteresis. The advancing contact angles measured using the immersion method exhibit a little higher values than those measured by the sessile droplet...
About eleven substituted (E)-N׳-(1-(substituted phenyl) ethylidene) benzo- hydrazides have been synthesized. They are characterized by their analytical, ultraviolet, infrared and NMR spectral data. The antibacterial and fungal activities of these chalcones have been evaluated.
Plastics are widely used in industry as well as in a daily lives. Large amounts of plastics debris are delivered into environment, especially into aqueous ecosystems and transformed into microplastics. The present work describes microplastics as the marine environment contaminants, their sources and also methods of their identification in the environment. Moreover, the ability of plastics to acculumation...
Synthesis and characterization of SBA-15 were proposed as a laboratory course: linked series of exercises for graduate students. The standard preparation method was modified to fit a typical schedule of students’ classes, that is, 3-hours units every second week. The properties of materials obtained by different students’ groups were compared with the properties of materials obtained by means of a...
Potential theory of adsorption was used for description of adsorption isotherms of n-butane on microporous active carbon. It was shown that characteristic curve of adsorption can be treated as specific form of thermal equation of adsorption giving the possibility to calculate and predict both equilibrium and thermodynamic characteristics of adsorption in wide range of temperature and relative pressure...
Some aryl hydrazide derivatives have been synthesized including 1-(3-chloro-4-nitrophenyl)-2-(3-substituted benzylidene) hydrazines by FeCl3/Bentonite catalyzed solvent-free condensation of substituted phenyl hydrazine and aldehydes under microwave irradiation.

The purpose of this work was to determinate the amount of titanium in different environmental water samples spiked with crop biostimulant Tytanit. The measurements were conducted using adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV). The titanium complex with chloranilic acid was accumulated on mercury film silver based electrode (Hg(Ag)FE) at the potential -0.3 V. The analysis of natural water samples enriched...
Using the layer wicking method (TLW method) the electron-donor interactions of surface free energy of the organic liquids: benzene (C6H6), toluene C6H5CH3), and tetrahydrofuran ((CH2)4O) was determined. For this purpose the penetration rate measurements of these liquids in the porous layers of silica gel and alumina were performed. The obtained values of the electron-donor parameter of surface free...
