Opis: The aim of the research was to study the torrefaction processes of wood biomass, compare the product characteristics at different torrefaction temperatures, and assess both moisture adsorption on raw and torrefied samples, as well as metal (Cu(II) and Ni(II)) adsorption on torrefied biomass. The novelty of the research was to investigate whether the presence of adsorbed metals in torrefied biomass significantly affects the energetic properties of the torrefied biomass, compared to torrefied biomass without metals. First, wood samples were torrefied at temperatures of 250 °C, 350 °C, and 400 °C. Following torrefaction, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed to evaluate mass loss and thermal stability. Next, changes in surface functional groups were examined, and higher heating values (HHV) were measured to assess the energy content. The results showed that torrefaction significantly increased the hydrophobicity of the biomass, leading to reduced moisture adsorption and enhanced material properties. Additionally, the adsorption of Cu(II) and Ni(II) ions on torrefied biomass was investigated. The results showed that the adsorption efficiency for Cu(II) was higher, reaching 62.4%, compared to Ni(II) at 21.2%. The adsorption process followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, which indicated that chemisorption was the dominant mechanism.

Opis: In 2013 and 2014, a long-term trial (which was established in 2007) was conducted at the University Agricultural Centre in Pivola near Hoče. It included different production systems (conventional, integrated, organic, biodynamic), carried out in a field trial with oil pumpkins. The aim of the research was to analyse the effects of different production systems, varieties (hybrid and population variety) and years of production, on formation of oil pumpkin yields. The agricultural practice has been carried out in accordance with the applicable legislations and standards for the individual production system. When sowing, before fertilizing with nitrogen in early June and after the harvest, the amount of soil mineral nitrogen was monitored. We evaluated the number and weight of harvestable, unripe and decayed fruits, and yield of oil seed pumpkins and calculated the agronomic efficiency of the applied nutrients. The results showed that the year of production, the production system and the variety have a significant effect on some fruit characteristics and the yield of oil pumpkin seeds. The content of soil mineral nitrogen in May and September was significantly influenced by the production system and the year. In June, only the production system had a significant effect. The hybrid significantly increased the yields of oil pumpkin seeds in all production systems, even in the year that was less suitable for production. The agronomic efficiency of the applied nutrients in the biodynamic and organic production system is higher or equal than in the conventional production system, similarly, agronomic efficiency is higher in the hybrid compared to the oldest population variety efficiently. A comparable oil pumpkin yield can be expected in biodynamic and organic production, when proper nutrition and well carried out cultivation practices are combined with a new variety, when compared to less sustainable production systems, which often cause damage to the environment.

Opis: Low pressure weakly nitrogen plasma was applied for incorporation of nitrogen-containing functional groups onto poly(ethylene terephthalate) - PET polymer. Nitrogen plasma was created in an electrode-less radiofrequency discharge at the nominal power of 200 W and the frequency of 27.12 MHz. Nitrogen molecules entered the discharge region were highly excited, partially dissociated and weakly ionized. Transformation into the state of plasma allowed for creation of chemically reactive particles with a high potential energy while the kinetic energy remained close to the value typical for room temperature. The chemical reactivity allowed for rapid functionalization with nitrogen-rich functional groups. The appearance of these groups was monitored by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy - XPS. The polymer surface was quickly saturated with nitrogen indicating that the modification was limited to an extremely thin surface film.
