Energy assessment of a dish-Stirling system powering a reverse osmosis plant for seawater desalination
2022
Water scarcity in many regions of the world and the global demographic growth make the desalination of seawater and/or brackish an effective solution to meet the growing demand for freshwater. Nowadays, reverse osmosis has the largest share of the global installed desalination capacity. The impelling need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has been pushing the search for sustainable technologies to produce the electricity needed to power reverse osmosis plants. Among solar technologies, little attention has been paid to the possibility of powering reverse osmosis with electricity from the dish-Stirling concentrator. To fill this knowledge gap, this paper assesses the energy-saving potential…

Towards the implementation of circular economy in the water softening industry: A technical, economic and environmental analysis
2020
Abstract To reduce the environmental impact of the industrial sectors, circular strategies should be implemented to purify the effluents and recover raw materials. In this context, a novel integrated methodological approach is proposed to identify the most suitable strategy to improve the sustainability of the water softening industry via the treatment and recycling of the produced wastewater. Different concentration technologies and energy supply systems are compared to find economically feasible and environmentally friendly treatment systems. The investigated chains present the same pre-treatment step (nanofiltration and crystallization) and different concentration technologies: Multi-Eff…
Modelling and cost analysis of hybrid systems for seawater desalination: Electromembrane pre-treatments for Reverse Osmosis
2019
Abstract The need to reduce energy consumption in seawater Reverse Osmosis (RO) process has pushed research towards the development of new hybrid systems in which, for example, other membrane processes can be used to pre-treat seawater. Electrodialysis (ED) and Reverse Electrodialysis (RED) can act as a pre-desalting step before seawater enters the RO unit, thus leading to an important energy saving in RO. In this work, two coupled models are proposed for the RED-RO and ED-RO systems. Each process model was validated. Then a sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the effect of the integration on the overall process cost saving. The analysis was performed by changing ED or RED voltage …
Modelling hybrid systems for seawater desalination: electromembrane processes (RED, ARED and ED) coupled with RO
2018
The need to reduce energy consumption in seawater reverse osmosis processes has pushed research towards the development of new hybrid systems in which, for example, other membrane processes can be used to pre-treat seawater. Electrodialysis and reverse electrodialysis can act as a dilution step before seawater enters the RO unit, thus leading to an important energy saving in RO. In this work, two coupled models are proposed for the RED-RO and ED-RO system. Each process model was validated before being used for a sensitivity analysis in which the effect of the integration on the cost saving in the overall process was assessed. The analysis was performed by changing (R)ED voltage and RO press…
Pettazzoni e Rohde su Agamennone e Clitemestra: il “maschalismòs” e l’opzione comparativa
2021
For Greek lexicographers, the verb 'maschalisthenai', which appears only in Aeschylus and Sophocles, refers to certain details of the murder of Agamemnon by his wife Clytemnestra.The ancient tradition on "maschalismos" has become in the modern age a bone of contention among scholars around the study of Greek religion, in particular concerning the relationship with death and the underworld. This contribution examines the different interpretations of "maschalismos" proposed by Erwin Rohde and Raffaele Pettazzoni and their different perspectives on the comparison.
Mnemosyne-Lesmosyne. Memoria e oblio, mito e storia
1995
Il tema del contributo riguarda il ruolo del mito nel XX secolo nel pensiero e nell'opera di Karl Kerényi: l'uso politico del mito e la sua manipolazione ideologica. La riflessione è sviluppata attraverso l'esame di un trascurato saggio dello Studioso (Mnemosyne-Lesmosyne), scritto nel 1945 e legato al carteggio con Thomas Mann. The focus of this paper concerns the role of myth and oblivion in the 20th century in the thought of Karl Kerényi: the political use of myth and its ideological manipulation. The reflection is developed through the examination of a neglected essay (Mnemosyne-Lesmosyne), written in 1945 and linked to the correspondence with Thomas Mann.
Le Chaosmos oulipien
2009
Le chaosmos, néologisme jamesien soulignant la prolifération des interprétations possibles d’un texte, semble devoir s’incarner de manière originale dans la production oulipienne: au désordre créatif l’écriture oulipienne impose la contrainte qui mène l’œuvre à l’ordre, c’est-à-dire à sa correcte appréciation. C’est le choix stylistique qui consent aux oulipiens de renouveler la création par l’intervention d’une écriture énigmatique parfois compliqué d’une énigme fictionnelle. C’est dans les policiers oulipiens que l’acte même d’écrire devient procédé chaosmotique. The cahosmos, James’s neologism used to point out the proliferations of all the possible interpretations and adaptations of a t…
Azorín en Legiones y Falanges: creador desengañado de microcosmos felices
2017
El trabajo pretende examinar los artículos de Azorín contenidos en la revista Legioni e Falangi/Legiones y Falanges (1940-43) con el propósito de abordar uno de los autores más conocidos de todos los tiempos desde una perspectiva nueva que permita abrir una vía alternativa para el entendimiento de su postura ante la realidad histórica del régimen de Franco. Frente a los numerosos análisis críticos que hasta ahora se han hecho sobre el escritor, este trabajo es ante todo una invitación a discutir de una parte de su producción a partir del análisis de la función de la prensa en la constitución de la identidad tanto individual como colectiva. De hecho, dicho análisis puede funcionar como llave…
