AB  - The ecological footprint is an excellent tool to better understand the consequences of the human behavior on the environment. The growing need for natural resources emphasizes the necessity of their accurate observation, calculation, and prediction. This paper develops and compares four hybrid machine learning models for predicting the total ecological footprint of consumption based on a set of hyper-parameters predefined by the Bayesian optimization algorithm. In particular, K-nearest neighbor regression (KNNReg), random forest regression (RFR) with 93 trees, and two artificial neural networks (ANNs) with two hidden layers were developed and later compared in terms of their performance. As energy inputs, the primary energy consumption from (1) natural gas sources, (2) coal sources, (3) oil sources, (4) wind sources, (5) solar photovoltaic sources, (6) hydropower sources, (7) nuclear sources, and (8) other renewable sources was used. Additionally, population number has also been used as an input. The models were developed using a set of data that include 1804 instances. The ANNs were modeled using two different activation functions in the hidden layers: ReLU and SPOCU. The performance was evaluated using the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), mean absolute scaled error (MASE), normalized root-mean-squared error (NRMSE), and symmetric mean absolute percentage error (SMAPE). The results show that KNNReg performs the best with MASE of 0.029, followed by the RFR (0.032), ReLU ANN (0.064), and SPOCU ANN (0.089). Moreover, SMOGN was utilized to produce a synthetic test set which was used to additionally test the best performed model. The performance on the SMOGN set demonstrates good performance (MASE=0.022). Lastly, the best performed model was implemented into a GUI that calculates the ecological footprint based on user inputs.

AB  - Selective arsenic extraction from enargite based complex concentrate from Copper Mine in Bor (Serbia), using sodium hypochlorite as a leaching agent, was investigated in this paper. The aim was to assess the optimal conditions for the most efficient arsenic removal from the investigated concentrate, based on factorial design applied to experimentally obtained data. Five important factors with three factor levels were used as the input variables and experimentally obtained arsenic extraction yield was taken as the output variable. The first and the second final order model equations were obtained. It was found that the leaching temperature had the strongest effect on the arsenic extraction. The strongest positive interaction was between the sodium hypochlorite molar concentration and the stirring speed during extraction.

AB  - This paper presents the experimental investigation results of the polymetallic copper concentrate oxidation process with the oxygen from the air. Concentrate characterization included chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF), and light microscopy. Chemical analysis and EDXRF results showed that the investigated copper concentrate consisted mainly of copper, iron and sulphur, with small amounts of zinc, lead, arsenic and other minor elements. XRD analysis showed that metals were bonded to sulphur in sulphide minerals: chalcopyrite, pyrite, luzonite, sphalerite and enargite. Those minerals were mutually bonded into aggregates, confirmed by light microscopy. The results of DTA/TG analysis were used for determining the mechanism of the oxidation process. Comparison between experimental data obtained by XRD, DTA/TG and data obtained from the phase stability diagrams, implied that the oxidation process of the investigated concentrate can be divided in two stages: the first stage consisted of sulphide oxidation reactions with the characteristic exothermal effects below 973 K while forming sulphates and oxysulphates, and the second stage, which consisted of sulphates and oxysulphates decomposition reactions and forming copper and iron oxides, with endothermal effects above 973 K. Kinetic studies were carried out in isothermal conditions in the temperature range (573–873) K. Calculations were done according to Sharp’s method of reduced half-time reaction. Calculated values for the activation energies were 82 kJ mol−1 for the initial stage of the oxidation process (up to 723 K), and 42 kJ mol−1 for the stage of the process where desulphurization degree reached 68–86 % for the oxidation temperatures 748 K and higher. Calculated activation energy values indicated that the reaction of oxidation is a chemically controlled reaction.

AB  - This study was conducted because a real method for measuring safety climate had never been developed and assessed in Serbian industry. The aim of this paper was to start the process of developing a safety climate questionnaire that could be used in Serbia. As a starting point a 21-item questionnaire was adopted after an extensive literature review. The questionnaire was distributed at several Serbian factories; 1098 workers responded. After a statistical analysis of the data obtained with the questionnaire and a critical comparison with the available reference results, a final questionnaire with 21 questions, divided into 7 groups, was developed. The 7 groups of questions (factors) were safety awareness and competence, safety communication, organizational environment, management support, risk judgment and management reaction, safety precautions and accident prevention, and safety training.
