With the objective of saparating a mixture of potassium salts from a water based solution we are conducting experimental measures of vapour pressure at different temperatures and concentration to know the activity of the species and be able to develop a thermodynamic model and evaluate the conditions for the separation. Apart from the vapour pressure are also requested...
This project has the objective of developing a method for the polluted air purification in closed enviroments throught an adsorption system based on activated carbons. Unlike the currently used systems this idea foresees a way to regenerate the exausted and saturated carbons directly inside the filters, the innovative idea lead...
This project has the objective of studying an alternative way of producing adipic acid, an extremely precious industrial product that nowadays is produces through a process based on hydrocarbons with a high enviromental impact. The important difference of this study is represented by the raw material that is used, the muconic acid. This reagent is in fact a derivate of biomass and fermentantives processes and is basically a waste product. The final goal of this study is to synthetize new catalyzers...
Fatty acid methyl-esters (FAMEs) are a family of compounds that are being abundantly studied in this years because they are the major components of the biomass dervated fuels known as biodioesels, that have a significantly lower enviromental impact than the conventional fuels, but can be used in the same types of cubustions and engines. Since they are produced from vegetal oils they present a great structure variability and is necessary a refining process.
Questo progetto ricerca le condizioni di lavoro, l’efficienza e le proprietà necessarie per lo sviluppo di una separazione…
The Rankine cicle is a system that is often used for the thermic energy recovery to produce work through the evaporation and expantion of the vapor of a liquid. In this thesis project, different organic fluids for the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) are tested in conditions of high temperature, oxidant atmosphere an possible industrial impurity. The objective of the tests is to verify the stability from oxidation of the most common fluids...
This project has the objective of studying a possible process for the recovery and separation in the recycling chain of the polyammides plastic materials to obtain eco-sustainable raw materials. Only a small fraction of Nylon is nowadays recycled, most of wich is post industrial. The main goal of this research is to find a way to recycle the materials...
Hydrogen is an important resource for the future as an energetic vector and green combustion reagent. In view of the recovery and purification of this gas an experimental project for the separation of it from gas mixtures with extremely high selectivity with an electrochemical process based on a membrane cell, this project has born. It will evaluate the efficiency of the process...
The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis in an important reaction that allows the formation of hydrocarbons starting from CO and Hydrogen thanks to catalyzers based on Iron and Cobalt, in this study we are trying to use CO2 as reagent, that is able to do a water-gas shift reaction and offering a important possibility for the recovery of carbon dioxide, main product of combustions that has a great impact as greenhouse gas. The project will focus on the study of new catalytic materials...
