<p>Predmet istraživanja ove disertacije je mogućnost kori&scaron;ćenja nano nula<br />valentnog gvožđa stabilizovanog sa bentonitom, kaolinitom i karboksimetil<br />celulozom za imobilizaciju te&scaron;kih metala, kao i pona&scaron;anje i sudbina metala u<br />sedimentu. Istraživanja je usmero u dva pravca: prvi deo istraživanja ima za cilj,<br />pre svega da defini&scaron;e bolje razumevanje pona&scaron;anja metala u sedimentu i<br />određivanje njihove potencijalne mobilnost, biodostupnost i potencijalne<br />toksičnost na osnovu metoda sekvencijalne ekstrakcione procedure, kiselo<br />volatilnog sulfida i simultano ekstrahovanih metalau netretiranim i tretiranim<br />uzorcima sedimenta. Takođe, određena je efikasnosti kori&scaron;ćenja nanomaterijala<br />za imobilizaciju metala u sedimentu iz tretiranih sme&scaron;a kori&scaron;ćenjem tzv. testova<br />&bdquo;izluživanja&ldquo; kao i definisanje dominantnog mehanizma izluživanja koji<br />omogućava transport metala. Drugi deo istraživanja&nbsp; ima za cilj ispitivanje<br />mogućnosti primene nano nula valentnog gvožđa obloženog sa bentonitom,<br />kaolinitom i karboksimetilcelulozom za tretman zagađenog sedimenta na lokaciji<br />(in-situ), uz određivanje potencijalnog rizika po okolinu na osnovu rezultata<br />sekvencijlane ekstrakcione procedure i ekstrakcija&nbsp; u jednom koraku nakon<br />tretmana. Primenjeni su i modifikovani testovi izluživanja sa ciljem &scaron;to bolje<br />simulacije realnih uslova. Rezultati dobijeni simulacijom ovih uslova i daljom<br />karakterizacijom sme&scaron;a, kako sa nanomaterijalom tako i sme&scaron;a sa glinom,<br />omogućuju izradu modela pona&scaron;anja metala u smislu dugoročnog &quot;izluživanja&quot; iz<br />tretiranog (stabilizovanog) sedimenta kao i procenukoji materijali su efikasniji<br />za imobilizaciju toksičnih metala u sedimentu.</p> / <p>This thesis explores the possibility of using nano&nbsp; zero valent iron stabilized with<br />bentonite, kaolinite, and carboxymethyl cellulose for the immobilization of heavy<br />metals, as well as the behaviour and fate of metalsin sediments. Research is focused<br />in two directions: the first part of the study aimsto find a better understanding of the<br />behaviour of metals in sediments and to determine their potential mobility,<br />bioavailability and potential toxicity based on sequential extraction procedures and<br />acid volatile sulphides and simultaneously extracted metals methods, in untreated and<br />treated sediment samples. The efficacy of using nanomaterials for the immobilization<br />of metals in sediments is also determined, by applying &quot;leaching&quot; tests to the treated<br />mixtures and defining the dominant leaching mechanism that enables the transport of<br />metals. The second part of the study aims to examine the possibilities of applying<br />nano zero valent iron coated with bentonite, kaolinite and carboxymethyl cellulose for<br />the treatment of contaminated sediment in-situ, to&nbsp; determine the potential risk posed<br />to the environment after treatment, based on the results of sequential extraction<br />procedures and a single step extraction. Modified leaching tests were applied in order<br />to achieve better simulation of real conditions. The results of simulating these<br />conditions and further characterization of mixtureswith both nanomaterials and clay,<br />provide a long term &quot;leaching&quot; model for the behaviour of metals in the treated<br />(stabilized) sediments, as well as assessing which&nbsp; materials are most effective for the<br />immobilization of toxic metals in sediments.</p>

Istraživanja u ovoj disertaciji vr&scaron;ena su u dve faze. Prva faza imala je za&nbsp;cilj&nbsp; optimizaciju&nbsp; operativnih&nbsp; uslova&nbsp; Fenton&nbsp; tretmana&nbsp; pri&nbsp; kojima&nbsp; se&nbsp; postiže&nbsp; najvi&scaron;i&nbsp; stepen&nbsp;obezbojavanja&nbsp; i&nbsp; mineralizacije&nbsp; ispitivanih&nbsp; efluenata.&nbsp; Takođe&nbsp; ispitivanje&nbsp; je&nbsp; uključilo&nbsp; i&nbsp;karakterizaciju nastalih efluenata kako bi se procenila efikasnost primenjenog, i mogućnost&nbsp;daljeg&nbsp; tretmana.&nbsp; Druga&nbsp; faza&nbsp; uključivala&nbsp; je&nbsp; karakterizaciju&nbsp; nastalog&nbsp; mulja&nbsp; nakon&nbsp; tretmana&nbsp;obojenih&nbsp; efluenata&nbsp; i&nbsp; njegov&nbsp; tretman&nbsp; solidifikacijom&nbsp; i&nbsp; stabilizacijom.&nbsp; Vr&scaron;eno&nbsp; je&nbsp; određivanje&nbsp;efikasnosti&nbsp; primenjenih&nbsp; imobilizacionih&nbsp; agenasa&nbsp; u&nbsp; S/S tretmanu&nbsp; i&nbsp; dominantnog&nbsp; mehanizma&nbsp;<br />izluživanja&nbsp; metala&nbsp; koji&nbsp; opisuju&nbsp; njihov&nbsp; transport&nbsp; iz&nbsp; dobijenih&nbsp; solidifikata.&nbsp; Primenjeni&nbsp; su&nbsp; i&nbsp;modifikovani&nbsp; testovi&nbsp; izluživanja&nbsp; sa&nbsp; ciljem&nbsp; &scaron;to&nbsp; bolje&nbsp; simulacije&nbsp; realnih&nbsp; uslova.&nbsp; Rezultati&nbsp;dobijeni&nbsp; simulacijom&nbsp; uslova&nbsp; će&nbsp; dalje&nbsp; omogućiti&nbsp; modelovanje&nbsp; pona&scaron;anja&nbsp; metala&nbsp; u&nbsp; smislu&nbsp;dugoročnog&nbsp; &quot;izluživanja&quot;&nbsp; iz&nbsp; tretiranog&nbsp; otpada&nbsp; kao&nbsp; i&nbsp; procenu&nbsp; najefikasnijih&nbsp; agenasa&nbsp; za&nbsp;imobilizaciju različitih metala u ovom tipu otpada. TakoĎe primenjeni su testovi izluživanja&nbsp;sa jednom ekstrakcijom kako bi se osiguralo&nbsp; slaganje rezultata sa maksimalno dozvoljenim&nbsp;koncentracijama&nbsp; aktuelnih&nbsp; pravilnika.&nbsp; Na&nbsp; osnovu&nbsp; dobijenih&nbsp; rezultata&nbsp; zaključeno&nbsp; je&nbsp; da&nbsp; se&nbsp;piritna izgoretina može uspe&scaron;no koristiti kao izvor katalitičkog gvožđa u Fenton tretmanima&nbsp;obojenih&nbsp; efluenata&nbsp; i&nbsp; može&nbsp; se&nbsp; smatrati&nbsp; efektivnom&nbsp; metodom &nbsp; predtretmana&nbsp; za&nbsp;nebiodegradabilne&nbsp; otpadne&nbsp; vode,&nbsp; čineći&nbsp; ih&nbsp; pogodnijim&nbsp; za&nbsp; konvencionalni&nbsp; biolo&scaron;ki&nbsp; tretman.&nbsp;Takođe&nbsp; u&nbsp; drugoj&nbsp; fazi&nbsp; istraživanja,&nbsp; na&nbsp; osnovu&nbsp; dobijenih&nbsp; rezultata,&nbsp; zaključeno&nbsp; je&nbsp; da&nbsp; je&nbsp; mulj&nbsp;tertian&nbsp; sa&nbsp; navedenim&nbsp; imobilizacionim&nbsp; agensima&nbsp; uspe&scaron;no&nbsp; solidifikovan&nbsp; i&nbsp; stabilizovan&nbsp;materijal.&nbsp; Optimalane&nbsp; su&nbsp; sme&scaron;e&nbsp; koje&nbsp; kao&nbsp; jedan&nbsp; od&nbsp; imobilizacionih&nbsp; agenasa&nbsp; sadrže&nbsp; leteći&nbsp;<br />pepeo, prevashodno u kombinaciji sa cementom i krečom. Dobijeni podaci su &nbsp;neprocenjivi sa&nbsp;aspekta ekonomski i ekolo&scaron;ki prihvatljivog upravljanja opasnim industrijskim otpadom.&nbsp;</p> / <p>This work is concerned with exploring the possibility of using pyrite cinders in the treatment&nbsp;of&nbsp; textile&nbsp; industry&nbsp; effluents&nbsp; and&nbsp; further&nbsp; treatment&nbsp; of&nbsp; sludge&nbsp; generated&nbsp; after&nbsp; this&nbsp; process.&nbsp;Namely,&nbsp; after&nbsp; the&nbsp; utilization&nbsp; of&nbsp; this&nbsp; waste&nbsp; in&nbsp; Fenton&nbsp; processes&nbsp; slag&nbsp; that&nbsp; remains&nbsp; after&nbsp;treatment is mostly composed of used pyrite cinder. As the pyrite ore, in the production of&nbsp;sulfuric&nbsp; acid,&nbsp; is&nbsp; used&nbsp; untreated,&nbsp; sludge&nbsp; that&nbsp; remains&nbsp; is&nbsp; potentially&nbsp; toxic&nbsp; and&nbsp; cannot&nbsp; be&nbsp;disposed&nbsp; directly&nbsp; without&nbsp; treatment.&nbsp; Therefore,&nbsp; the&nbsp; stabilization&nbsp; and&nbsp; solidification&nbsp; (S/S)&nbsp;technique&nbsp; with&nbsp; the&nbsp; usage&nbsp; of&nbsp; portland&nbsp; cement,&nbsp; calcium&nbsp; oxide,&nbsp; zeolite,&nbsp; fly&nbsp; ash,&nbsp; kaolinite,&nbsp;bentonite and native clay was used for metal immobilization. The research in this dissertation&nbsp;was carried out in two phases. The first phase aimed to optimize the operational conditions of&nbsp;Fenton&nbsp; treatment&nbsp; in&nbsp; which&nbsp; the&nbsp; highest&nbsp; degree&nbsp; of&nbsp; decolourization&nbsp; and&nbsp; mineralization&nbsp; was&nbsp;achieved in tested effluents. Also the research has included the characterization of generated&nbsp;effluents in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment applied, and the possibility of&nbsp;further&nbsp; treatment.&nbsp; The&nbsp; second&nbsp; phase&nbsp; involved&nbsp; the&nbsp; characterization&nbsp; of&nbsp; the&nbsp; generated&nbsp; sludge&nbsp;after the treatment of effluents that contained dyes and its treatment with solidification and&nbsp;stabilization technique.&nbsp; The determination of used immobilization agents effectiveness was&nbsp;Conducted&nbsp; to&nbsp; determine&nbsp; the&nbsp; efficacy&nbsp; of&nbsp; immobilization&nbsp; agents&nbsp; in&nbsp; S&nbsp; /&nbsp; S&nbsp; treatment&nbsp; and&nbsp; the&nbsp;dominant&nbsp; mechanism&nbsp; of&nbsp; leaching&nbsp; of&nbsp; metals&nbsp; that&nbsp; describe&nbsp; their&nbsp; transport&nbsp; from&nbsp; the&nbsp; received&nbsp;solidificate . Were applied and modified leaching tests with the aim of better simulation of&nbsp;real&nbsp; conditions.&nbsp; The&nbsp; results&nbsp; obtained&nbsp; by&nbsp; condition&nbsp; simulation&nbsp; will&nbsp; enable&nbsp; the&nbsp; modeling&nbsp; of&nbsp;behavior of metals in terms of long-term leaching period from the treated sludge and assess&nbsp;the most effective agents for the immobilization of various metals in this type of waste. Also,&nbsp;single-extraction leaching tests were applied to ensure the accordance of obtained results &nbsp;with&nbsp;the maximum permissible concentrations of current regulations. Based on these results, it was&nbsp;concluded&nbsp; that&nbsp; the&nbsp; pyrite&nbsp; cinders&nbsp; can&nbsp; be&nbsp; successfully&nbsp; used&nbsp; as&nbsp; a&nbsp; source&nbsp; of&nbsp; catalytic&nbsp; iron&nbsp; in&nbsp;Fenton&nbsp; treatment&nbsp; of&nbsp; effluents&nbsp; containing&nbsp; dyes,&nbsp; and&nbsp; can&nbsp; be&nbsp; considered&nbsp; an&nbsp; effective&nbsp;pretreatment&nbsp; method&nbsp; for&nbsp; non-biodegradable&nbsp; waste&nbsp; waters,&nbsp; making&nbsp; them&nbsp; amenable&nbsp; to&nbsp;conventional biological treatment. Also in the second phase, based on the results obtained, it&nbsp;was concluded that the sludge treated with&nbsp; aforementioned&nbsp; immobilization agents represents&nbsp;a successfully solidified and stabilized material. The optimal mixtures are those that contain&nbsp;fly ash as one of the used immobilization agents, primarily in combination with cement and&nbsp;lime.&nbsp; The&nbsp; obtained&nbsp; data&nbsp; are&nbsp; invaluable&nbsp; in&nbsp; terms&nbsp; of&nbsp; economic&nbsp; and&nbsp; environmentally&nbsp; sound&nbsp;management of hazardous industrial waste.</p>

We discuss numerical methods for the stabilization of large linear multi-input control systems of the form x=Ax + Bu via a feedback of the form u=Fx. The method discussed in this paper is a stabilization algorithm that is based on subspace splitting. This splitting is done via the matrix sign-function method. Then a projection into the unstable subspace is performed followed by a stabilization technique via the solution of an appropriate algebraic Riccati equation. There are several possibilities to deal with the freedom in the choice of the feedback as well as in the cost functional used in the Riccati equation. We discuss several optimality criteria and show that in special cases the feedback matrix F of minimal spectral norm is obtained via the Riccati equation with the zero constant term. A theoretical analysis about the distance to instability of the closed loop system is given and furthermore numerical examples are presented that support the practical experience with this method.
