Economic analysis and energy valorisation of by-products of the wine supply chain: the case of the 'Mamertino wine PDO'
2018
The paper reports the analysis of biomass derived from maintenance of a vineyard, to assess its potential as an alternative energy source, instead of the usual disposal of the wine supply chainâs residuals. The site studied is within the province of Messina, Sicily, in the area of Mamertino wine PDO, a wine of superior quality. The analysis suggests that use of this kind of biomass may allow a fossil fuel such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to be replaced by a wine wood chip biomass boiler, thus meeting economic and environmental criteria by reason of recycling for sustainability.
The willingness to pay of Sicilian consumers for a wine obtained with sustainable production method: An estimate through an ordered probit sample-sel…
2019
The growing presence of Sicilian sustainable wine has pushed the research group to investigate and analyse the consumers' behaviour and their potential willingness to pay a premium price for the wine obtained through sustainable production processes. The analysis of the consumer's behaviour towards the wine made with sustainable production methods is carried out in order to provide potentially useful indications to Italian and in particular Sicilian wine enterprises regarding the production and marketing strategies to undertake in a future perspective. This study shows the result of an empirical investigation on the consumption of sustainable wine in Sicily. Through the Ordered (demographic…
Synthesis and characterization of mononuclear complexes containing 3-acetylamino-1,2,4-triazole (aat). X-ray structure of [Co(aat)2(H2O)2]Br2
1993
Abstract The spectroscopic characteristics of the isostructural compounds [M(aat) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ]X 2 (aat = 3-acetylamino-1,2,4-triazole; M = Co, Cu, X = Br, CI; M = Ni, X = Cl) are described. The structure of [Co(aat) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ]Br 2 has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P 2 1 / a with a = 9.686(3), b = 14.433(4), c = 6.169(2) A, β = 92.84(2)° and Z = 2. The structure was refined to final R and R ′ values of 0.033 and 0.039 for 1066 observed reflections. In the mononuclear cationic complex, having an imposed crystallographic C i symmetry, the cobalt atom is surrounded in a slightly distorted octahedral arrangement by two axial water molecule…
Trinuclear N,N-Bridged Copper(II) Complexes Involving a Cu3OH Core: [Cu3(μ3-OH)L3A(H2O)2]A·(H2O)x {L = 3-Acetylamino-1,2,4-triazolate; A = CF3SO3, N…

The reaction of Haat [Haat = (3-acetylamino-1,2,4-triazole)] with aquated Cu(CF3SO3)2, Cu(NO3)2, and Cu(ClO4)2, respectively, in water results in the trinuclear complexes [Cu3(OH)(aat)3(CF3SO3)(H2O)2](CF3SO3) (1), [Cu3(OH)(aat)3(NO3)(H2O)2](NO3).(H2O)2 (2), and [Cu3(OH)(aat)3(ClO4)(H2O)2](ClO4) (3). The synthesis, X-ray structure, and magnetic and spectroscopic properties of the three title complexes are described. The cation of the three complexes is trinuclear with a Cu3OH skeleton which has the N-N diazine grouping of a triazole ring as bridge between each pair of copper atoms. The Cu3OH units have an average Cu-O distance of 1.991(6) (1), 2.000(6) (2), and 2.007(6) (3) A, an average Cu-…
