This paper presents the results of compositional study 29 samples mortar from so‐called “Garum Shop” (I, 12, 8) at Pompeii in Southern Italy. The characterization yielded information on raw materials used mixtures, production technology mortars, and building phases. It was carried out through polarized optical microscopy, X‐ray powder diffraction, fluorescence, microanalysis energy‐dispersive spectroscopic microanalysis, image analysis JMicroVision software. resultant data show great...
The major aim of our research is to assess the occurrence, within serpentinites and serpentinite-derived soils located in area Sila Piccola (northern Calabria), asbestiform minerals that could be potentially harmful for human health. At this purpose, nine serpentinite rock samples three agricultural have been collected nearby two inhabited centres (Gimigliano Conflenti towns) characterized detail by means Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM), X-Ray Powder Diffractometry (XRPD), Scanning Electron...
The work aims to estimate natural greenhouse gas emissions from soils in the Sibari Coastal Plain (Southern Italy), understand (i) contribution terms of total amount CO2 and CH4 emitted non-volcanic areas, (ii) relationship among gas, land use, organic matter tectonic structures, (iii) their potential environmental implications. Data were elaborated with statistical geostatistical methods separate different populations obtain prediction probability maps. Methane fluxes had values...
A series of Li + /Fe 3+ -doped enstatite crystals composition Mg (2–2 x ) Fe Si 2 O 6 were synthesized and structurally characterized. Under the selected experimental conditions, we grew three Pbca orthopyroxene (OPX: = 0.270–0.313) two Pbcn protopyroxene (PPX: 0.156–0.164) using flux-growth technique. The observed variation in polyhedral volume distortion M octahedron as a function Li/Fe doping suggests presence an upper limit, at least for OPX samples. same linear relation was between 〈...
During the excavations carried out in Via di Mercurio (Regio VI, 9, 3) Pompeii, 2015, some red, green, black, and brown wall painting fragments were found preparatory layer of an ancient pavement which was probably built after 62 AD earthquake. These fragments, derived from rubble, used as coarse aggregate to prepare mortar for building pavement. The are exceptionally well preserved, is uncommon occurrence city Pompeii. However, they enclosed mortar, protected high temperatures (probably...
Nowadays, due to the adverse health effects associated with exposure asbestos, its inertization is one of most important issues waste risk management. Based on research line mechano-chemical and thermal treatment asbestos containing materials, aim this study was examine dry grinding structure, temperature stability fibre size chrysotile from Balangero (Italy), as well standard UICC (Union for International Cancer Control) amosite crocidolite. Dry accomplished in an eccentric vibration mill...
Abstract This study describes the formation of Fe‐doped chrysotile fibers with partial and total substitution Mg by Fe. Syntheses were carried out various starting mixtures (oxides, pure synthetic forsterite) in an externally heated pressure vessel controlled hydrothermal conditions: temperature, 270 – 400 °C; pressure, 0.5 2 kbar; duration treatment 160 480 hours. Pure forsterite was prepared flux growth technique. The material run products characterized X‐ray powder diffraction (XRPD),...
The Terme Sibarite and nearby thermomineral water discharges have Ca-SO4 to Ca-SO4-HCO3 composition, near neutral pH value of 6.9 7.6, outlet temperatures 16° 25.5°C, variable redox potentials (-0.23 0.2 V) total dissolved solids from 20 35 meq L-1. flow rate the springs is about 130 L s-1. Solubility chalcedony K-Mg geothermometer show a full equilibrium reservoir temperature 33°C. δ34S values sulfate are constrained by mixing waters with cold waters, both interacting Upper Triassic...
