With a value of 400.3 Mt, the global plastics production increased in 2022 with plus 2.5 wt% compared to previous years. Unfortunately, plastic waste is often disposed inappropriately, causing environmental problems and an avoidable resources. In 2019, European Circular Economy Action Plan was issued encourage recycling. Nevertheless, at end 2022, post-consumer mechanically recycled Europe accounted only for 13.2 (58.8 Mt). Mechanical recycling fails recycle mixed, partially degraded, or...
The inefficient management of wastes recovered from electric and electronic apparatuses (the so-called WEEE or e-waste) has become a severe global concern in the last years, since indiscriminate accumulation containing hazardous material poses serious risks for environmental, as well human health. Despite continuous development innovative efficient technologies mechanical recycling plastics, effective re-utilization these fractions is often limited by their poor value-added. In this work, we...
Different micronutrients are essential for bacterial fermentative metabolism. In particular, some metallic ions, like iron, able to affect the biological H₂production. this study, batch tests were carried out in stirred reactors investigate effects of Fe²⁺ concentration on H₂production from two different organic fractions waste: source-separated waste (OW) a composting plant including fraction municipal solid and food (FW) refectory. Iron supplementation at 1000 mg/L caused twofold increment...
The physical and chemical properties of zeolites the availability localized deposits naturally occurring zeolitized tuffs pozzolana, make them desirable for applicable to remediation contaminated groundwater.This paper documents results a laboratory study test capacity native Italian remove 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) from water.Italian zeolitic tuff pozzolana were characterized in terms their structural adsorption capacities.Moreover, experimental activity investigated behaviour: time pH...
