In February 2017 the “Carbonaceous Aerosol in Rome and Environs (CARE)” experiment was carried out downtown to address following specific questions: what is color, size, composition, toxicity of carbonaceous aerosol Mediterranean urban background area Rome? The motivation this lack understanding types are responsible for severe risks human health posed by particulate matter (PM) pollution, how aerosols influence radiative balance. Physicochemical properties were characterised, relevant...
Investigating the effect of presoaking, as one most important physical factors affecting adsorption behavior biochar, on heavy metals by modified or non-modified biochar and presoaking mechanism is still an open issue. In this study, water kinetics cadmium (Cd) rice husk (produced at 450 °C, B1, 600 B2) with magnesium chloride (B1 MgCl2, MB1, B2 MB2) was investigated. Furthermore, pH (2, 5, 6), temperature (15, 25, 35 °C), particle size (100 500 µm) Cd also Results revealed that content...
Abstract Purposes This research focuses on the characterization of phosphate ore, its solid effluents, and nearby contaminated soils in southwest Tunisia (Gafsa-Metlaoui Basin). It aims also at evaluating vertical distribution abundance critical rare earth elements (REE) different materials their ecological environmental risks. Materials methods The sampled went through physical, chemical, mineralogical which involved XRF, XPS, XRD, ICP-MS analyses. REE anomalies indices were calculated....
Soil is a non-renewable natural resource. However, the current rates of soil usage and degradation have led to loss for agriculture, habitats, biodiversity, ecosystems problems. Urban former industrial areas suffer particularly these problems, compensation measures restore environmental quality include renaturation dismissed areas, de-sealing surfaces, or building green infrastructures. In this framework, development methodologies creation soils designed mimic suitable vegetation growth,...
Highlights•Replacing peat in organo-mineral fertilisers at low C content is desirable•Most of the 16 examined materials had potential for OMF production•No material closely matched across all parameters•Granulometry, pH, and formula space obligate blending with another organic fractionAbstractIn fertilizers (OMFs) carbon (Corg) final content, fraction enhances mineral efficiency. Therefore, a high-quality crucial. While geogenic like have been used extensively producing OMFs, exploring...
Critical raw materials (CRM) supply is a challenge that EU countries face, also investing in domestic supplies from mineral ore deposits and anthropogenic (namely landfills extractive waste facilities).This research focuses on the possibilities related to of RM CRM, with focus rare earth elements (REE), through examination large number siliceous rocks Piedmont region (northern Italy). Recovery REE (EW) associated silicate ornamental rock quarries (gneiss, granites diorite) other (i.e. kaolin...
Road dust suspension is an increasing concern in terms of being a source atmospheric particulate matter (PM) cities, due to its toxicity and the lack knowledge on emission estimates, impact mostly with respect measures control or mitigate it. Both technological policy have been proposed, but their application limited by gap effectiveness real world. This study analyses real-world factors road at ten sites city Milan (Italy), emphasis different fleet speeds one particular road. PM10 were...
This experiment was aimed at verifying the usefulness of phytoremediation using Short Rotation Coppice (SRC) in an urban Zn-contaminated site. Besides elemental uptake and reclamation, SRC method applied to evaluate additional benefits a green infrastructure. Nine different plants with rapid growth large biomass production were selected: three Populus clones, Salix hybrids, Robinia genotypes. Annual biennial coppicing evaluated. Poplar clones more productive annual coppicing, while produced...
This study optimized the anaerobic digestion (AD) of separated collected organic fractions municipal solid waste (OFMSW) to produce energy and digestate as biofertilizer. Due OFMSW's partial recalcitrance degradation, enzymatic (UPP2, MCPS, USC4, USE2, A. niger) physical (mechanical blending, heating, hydrodynamic cavitation) pre-treatments were tested. Experimental modeling approaches used compare AD performance regarding sustainability quality. Digestate was into liquid fractions, then...
