Xenobiotic persistent organic pollutants are ubiquitous in the environment (air, water, soil, biota), and this is origin of rising concern about their potential impact. Recent advances chemical analysis at trace levels a lack knowledge fate transport reference compounds lead to strong research demand area. In context, special attention focused on control technologies water wastewater involving application advanced minimize environmental release. After presenting sanitary impacts associated...
High quality luminescent CdS nanocrystals (NCs), with band edge emission tunable in the blue region of visible spectrum, were synthesized by means thermal decomposition precursors oleic acid as surfactant and incorporated optically transparent polystyrene (PS) poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The optical properties obtained nanocomposite films investigated absorption spectroscopies. Enhancement luminescence quantum dots was observed both polymer matrices fluorescence composites retained...
In the present work rheological, thermo-mechanical, microstructural, and wetting characteristics of cement mortars with recycled expanded polystyrene (EPS) were analyzed. The samples prepared after partial/total replacement conventional sand aggregate EPS having different grain size distribution. Lightness thermal insulation relevant features for all bare composites, despite mechanical strengths. Specifically, based characterized by higher respect to reference due lower specific mass...
An extensive optical and photoelectrochemical study of blended systems composed organic-capped TiO(2) nanocrystals with either a spherical or rodlike morphology conjugated polymer, MEH-PPV, is presented. The absorption emission properties the heterojunctions have been characterized both in solution thin films. structures deposited onto conductive substrates employed as active layers systems. investigation has focused on photoinduced charge transfer recombination processes at interface...
This paper reported the first example on use of chitosan films, without further modification, to remove and recover, through bio-sorption processes, emerging pollutant Diclofenac from water. The latter was adopted as a model, among non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, by obtaining maximum adsorption capacity, qmax, about 10 mg/g, under applied experimental conditions work. literature gap which already used for dyes heavy metals removal, adsorb pollutants water covered, claiming wide range...
The Fourth Industrial Revolution represents the beginning of a profound change for building sector. In last decade, perspective shapes, materials, and construction techniques is evolving fast due to additive manufacturing technology. On other hand, even if technology growing several 3D printed buildings are being developed worldwide, potential concrete printing in prefabrication remains unexplored. Consequently, application new digital fabrication technologies industry requires redesign...
In this paper, recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was used to produce eco-innovative engineering materials with optimized performance, minimizing the environmental impact deriving from plastic consumption activity and limiting continuous of raw materials. The PET obtained waste bottles, commonly improve ductility concrete, has been a different weight percentage as aggregate in replacement sand cement mortars fibers added premixed screeds. detail, effect treatment (chemical or...
Climate change has long-term effects on the size and composition of a country's business sector. Using administrative data universe Italian firms, we find that an increase in number very hot days per year persistently reduces growth rate active firms market medium run. This is due to drop firm entry exit, with relocation playing minor role. A firm-level investigation reveals dichotomy between suffer as result higher temperatures those improve their profitability by adapting hotter climate:...
Environmentally sustainable cement mortars containing wheat straw (Southern Italy, Apulia region) of different length and dosage perlite beads as aggregates were prepared characterised by rheological, thermal, acoustic, mechanical, optical microstructural tests. A complete replacement the conventional sand was carried out. Composites with bare (S), (P), a mixture inorganic organic (P/S), compared properties mortar. It observed that fresh composites showed decrease in workability fibre...
Extreme temperatures have long-run effects on the size and composition of a country's business sector. Administrative data universe Italian firms show that higher slow down growth in number active market, mainly due to drop entry rates an increase exits warmer areas. Balance sheet reveals dichotomy between large, young companies, which adapt improving their profitability, older, smaller-sized persistently suffering from hot temperatures. According average climate scenario, will impact firm...
