The new process solves the problem of EDTA recycling after washing of soils contaminated with toxic elements. Sacrificial Al anode was used to replace toxic metals from EDTA complex in alkaline pH with Al, while released metals were electro-deposited on stainless steel cathode. After neutralization the recycled EDTA maintains the same soil metal removal capacity as fresh EDTA.
F.13 Development of new production methods and tools or processes
COBISS.SI-ID: 6497913Soil is a rich and dynamic ecosystem. Depending on the parent material, one centimeter of soil takes up to 500 years to form. A minimum soil layer of 30 cm is needed for crop cultivation for food production. We need arable land for local food production, which, in spite of the general globalisation process, has increasing value for the human population. Each resident of Slovenia has (almost) the smallest area of arable land in Europe. Agricultural land is an important constituent of cultural landscape. A cultural landscape in the local environment provides many non-material benefits (such as quality of life, a wealth of natural resources, and possibilities for recreation, rest or simple aesthetic pleasure) and people often identify with it. The exhibition event connects science and art and speaks to general public.
F.28 Organising an exhibition
COBISS.SI-ID: 6632825Terminological dictionary contains explanations from broader field of botany and mycology, including translations of terms in English, German and Latin. It is a result of ten years lasting cooperative work between botanists and mycologist with lexicographs from the Institute Franc Ramovš SAZU. Within the programme coordination of work on dictionary and cooperation in editing of monography was carried out apart of preparation of dictionary for agreed subdisciplines.
