Magmatic rocks of post-Late Eocene magmatic formation are widespread in the Sava segment of SavaVardar suture zone and adjoin areas. The rocks formed as a response to transpressional-transtensional tectonic activity preceded by the Cretaceous-Eocene compression of the Internal Dinarides and Tisia Unit as fragments of Eurasian continental lithospher...

The tentative permissible concentrations and the maximum permissible concentration of heavy metals do not always give a complete adequate assessment of the effect on plants. Plant growth inhibition can be at concentrations below the maximum permissible concentrations and tentative permissible concentrations. We studied the effect of copper, zinc, c...

Prevention of the surface water quality deterioration as a result of motorway construction or similar anthropogenic activities is certainly a rather more demanding task relating to watercourses with lower flow rates than larger watercourses. The paper presents the impact of part of the Banja Luka - Doboj motorway construction site, notably section ...

The paper assesses the vulnerability of 27 groundwater bodies in the basin of the river Bosna, ie Spreča, then the river basin of the Drina river (Drinjača), as well as parts of the immediate Sava river basin (Čelić area - Gnjica river and Turija basin) by the GLA method. For each water body, the determination of the effective soil capacity, degree...

This paper presents study results of the qualitative characteristics of coal deposit Kotezi. Regional geological researches were conducted from 1983 to 1987, and detailed from 2014 to the end of 2018.Tests were performed on the following coal quality parameters: average thickness of pure coal in coal layers, total moisture content, ash content, tot...

The "Ribnica" landfill of the "Vrtlište" surface mine bordered the river Ribnica until during 2017, a landslide was started and the river Ribnica was interrupted, and a water reservoir was formed. After the completion of the tunnel that diverted the river Ribnica, its previously interrupted riverbed in the downstream part is planned for continuatio...

The physical and mechanical characteristics of coal seams, immediate floor and roof significantly influence to the choice of systems (the methods and technologies) of coal underground exploitation, and in this paper, their grouping and sorting by importance for the conditions of active underground mines in Serbia was carried out. The research is ba...

Sizing the production capacity of underground coal mines is an extremely complex task with a number of specifics that must be taken into account when designing the mines. The main factors are the specific natural-geological conditions of the deposit, which determine the application of an adequate excavation system followed by organizational factors...
