In the field of historical buildings, wide use lime as a binder in various contexts application emerges from series artistic and archaeological evidence Apulia (Italy) 4th century BCE to 15th CE. The large availability carbonate rocks geological substratum Daunian Subappennines Salento areas strongly influenced material culture region. this paper, significant study cases were presented bring light technological complexity, almost completely cancelled by widespread presence industrial...
This work deals with the investigation of alkaline binders obtained from binary mixtures carbonate-rich illitic clay deposits in southern Italy and two industrial by-products very different total composition calcium content, i.e., blast furnace slag type F fly ash, respectively. To improve reactivity, selected was ground a ball miller heated to 700 °C. The were alkali activated NaOH solution at 4 M 8 M, pastes cured room temperature relative humidity >90% climatic chamber. Heat flow, heat...
This paper proposed a multianalytical, non-invasive, accessible and expensive (compared to traditional ones) approach for the characterization of pictorial surfaces. A set 18 pigments 37 mixtures widely used in Middle Ages Apulia (Italy) artistic archaeological contexts was considered, corresponding replicas were produced. Pigments first characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), then studied optical microscopy using portable instrument, colorimetry fiber optic reflectance...
Environmental pollution is a serious threat to human health and the natural environment, it has aroused widespread concern. One of most effective processes in removal pollutants from wastewater Fenton reaction. This process based on production highly reactive •OH radicals due rapid reaction between Iron ions hydrogen peroxide under acidic conditions. The hydroxyl radical high oxidation potential E°(•OH/H2O) = 2.8 V/SHE at pH, so they are extremely non-selective oxidizing agent towards...
Water potabilization sludges (WPS) are a heterogeneous waste generated from the coagulation-flocculation process of drinking water production, whose composition is highly dependent on geological context reservoirs, and volume treated water, types coagulants used. For this reason, any feasible approach for reusing valorising such cannot be disregarded detailed investigation its chemical physical characteristics they have to evaluated at local scale. In study, WPS samples two plants serving...
Polycarbonate (PC) is a highly versatile plastic material that extensively utilized across various industries due to its superior properties, including high impact strength and heat resistance. However, durability presents significant challenges for recycling waste management. thermoplastic polymer representative of the class condensation reaction polymers obtained from bisphenol A (BPA) carbonyl source, such as phosgene or alkyl aryl carbonate. The processes PC include mechanical recycling,...
This work aims to evaluate the compatibility and features of alkali-activated blends obtained by replacing carbonate-rich illitic clay with either untreated or heat-treated water potabilization sludge (WPS). The experimental setting was created looking towards producing environmentally friendly solutions such as precursors that are sourced from same territory, room-temperature curing in realistic environmental conditions, activation exclusively sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solutions. A...
