PLANT FOR WASTE DISPOSAL AND ASSOCIATED METHOD
Described herein is a plant for the disposal of wastes including: a supercritical water oxidation reactor (SCWO), a supercritical water gassification reactor (SCWG), a feeding system configured for feeding at least two organic currents of wastes to said SCWO and SCWG and configured for feeding at least one aqueous flow within said plant, wherein said feeding system is configured for feeding said at least one aqueous current with a series flow throw said SCWO and SCWG and wherein said feeding system is furthermore configured for feeding said at least two organic currents of wastes with a parallel flow through said SCWO and SCWG and so as to selectively feed each of said organic currents of w…
Evaluation of the effects of a program of "homework" for the maintenance of the outcomes achieved at three months after discharge from integrated home care | Analisi degli obiettivi raggiunti e mantenuti a tre mesi dalla dimissione dall'assistenza domiciliare integrata in pazienti con i "compiti a casa"
When the rehabilitation treatment performed in the acute phase of illness is over, in our experience, the majority of patients do not continue the rehabilitation exercises thus risking a reduction in the ability retrieved and increasing disability. So despite the achievements with the rehabilitation treatment at home, discharge the patients could produce a worsening of their disability. In order to encourage patients to continue physical exercise after discharge from integrated home care, we proposed a personalized exercise program to be carried out at home. We evaluated after three months effectiveness in order to sustain the degree of self-sufficiency and the health reached at discharge
Growing microalgae in a “quasi-isoactinic” photobioreactor
The aim of this work is setting up the conditions of an “iso-actinic” photobioreactor that is a photoreactor for the cultivation of microalgae in which the local volumetric rate of photon absorption (LVRPA), can be considered uniform to a good extent. We describe the composition of this cheap photoreactor and how we made it. The system is driven by an Arduino platform that makes it possible to control light intensity as well as light-dark cycles. Preliminary results obtained by growing Nannochloropsis gaditana, a microalga famous for its fat content, in this innovative reactor are presented. We finally observed how microalgae responds to flashing light irradiation.
Carta Geologica d'Italia alla scala 1:50.000 e note illustrative del foglio 594-585 PARTINICO-MONDELLO.
The 594-585 ”Partinico-Mondello” Map Sheet 1:50.000 includes marine and land areas of the topographic map sheet “Partinico” and “Mondello”. The map sheet “Partinico-Mondello” (Palermo Province) covers a part of the Sicily Fold and Thrust Belt (FTB) which has developed along the plate boundary between Africa and Europe in the central Mediterranean. The Sicily FTB links the African Maghrebides to the Calabrian arc and the Southern Apennines. The fTB and its submerged western and northern exten- sions are partly located between the Sardinia block and the Pelagian-Ionian sec- tor, and partly beneath the central southern Tyrrhenian Sea. In this sector of the Mediterranean area, the main compress…
Valorization of waste solvents through supercritical water gasification
The supercritical water gasification of various organic species belonging to the groups of organic acids, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols and phenols, has been studied as a possible waste disposal method for polluted water stream produced in industries and laboratories. Gasification has been investigated using a 200 cm3 down flow reactor working continuously at 24 MPa and 660 °C. Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) is effective for the syngas production at very high conversion rate for all the species investigates, but phenol. Phenol, when mixed with other species, has an inhibitory effect of the radical chain gasification mechanism that dramatically reduced the gasification performance. …
