A critical approach to the toxic metal ion removal by hazelnut and almond shells

2018

The adsorption capacity of ground hazelnut (HS) and almond (AS) shells towards Pb(II) and Cd(II) has been studied at pH = 5, in NaNO3 and NaCl ionic media, in the ionic strength range 0.05-0.5 mol L-1. Kinetic and equilibrium experiments were carried out by using the Differential Pulse Anodic Stripping Voltammetry technique to check the amount of the metal ion removed by HS and AS materials. Different kinetic and equilibrium equations were used to fit experimental data and a statistical study was done to establish the suitable model for the data fitting. A speciation study of the metal ions in solution was also done in order to evaluate the influence of the ionic medium on the adsorption pr…

Development of New Bio-based Materials Derived from Sicilian Agri-Food Industry Waste

2023

La necessità di soluzioni di materiali da costruzione a base biologica e sostenibili è aumentata drammaticamente nell’ultimo ventennio. Questa ricerca esplora i possibili modi per riutilizzare materiale di scarto a base biologica (come i gusci della frutta secca), derivati dall'industria agroalimentare, per la produzione di nuovi materiali da costruzione sani in linea con i principi dell'economia circolare. L’analisi di alcuni casi di studio precedenti e le attuali ricerche dimostrato la possibilità di riutilizzare i gusci della frutta secca per la realizzazione di nuovi componenti edilizi. Le attuali tendenze mostrano che le resine sintetiche sono sempre più usati come legante per incollar…

The Use of Waste Hazelnut Shells as a Reinforcement in the Development of Green Biocomposites.

2022

Biodegradable Mater-Bi (MB) composites reinforced with hazelnut shell (HS) powder were prepared in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder followed by compression molding and injection molding. The effects of reinforcement on the morphology, static and dynamic mechanical properties, and thermal and rheological properties of MB/HS biocomposites were studied. Rheological tests showed that the incorporation of HS significantly increased the viscosity of composites with non-Newtonian behavior at low frequencies. On the other hand, a scanning electron microscope (SEM) examination revealed poor interfacial adhesion between the matrix and the filler. The thermal property results indicated that HS could …
