Petrographic-Mineralogical Characterization of Archaeological Materials from “Casa di Diana” Mithraeum Sited in the Open Museum of Ostia Antica
(MDPI, 2021-06-20)
Mithraea, religious Roman buildings, are very common in Italian archeological sites. There are sixteen in Ostia Antica (Rome, Italy)The poor state of conservation, due to the intrinsic environmental conditions, characterized ...
Soluble Salts Quantitative Characterization and Thermodynamic Modeling on Roman Bricks to Assess the Origin of Their Formation
(MDPI, 2021-05-12)
The environmental weathering and the formation of efflorescences on the brick walls are studied at the “Casa di Diana” Mithraeum at Ostia Antica archaeological site. Previous studies on subsoil, bedrock, hydrological systems ...
A First Evaluation of the Usefulness of Kudzu Starch in Cultural Heritage Restoration
(Nature, 2020-09-24)
In recent times, the use of natural and harmless products for the environment and restorer is taking place in the field of Cultural Heritage restoration. In this sense, wheat, rice and corn starches as adhesives, have ...
FeCrAlloy Monoliths Coated with Ni/Al2O3 Applied to the Low-Temperature Production of Ethylene
(MDPI, 2018-07)
This paper investigates the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to produce ethylene at low temperatures (500 degrees C) in metallic structured substrates. To check this point, the FeCrAlloy (R) monoliths with different ...
Study Of The Soluble Salts Formation In A Recently Restored House Of Pompeii By In-Situ Raman Spectroscopy
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-01-25)
The walls and mural paintings of Pompeii exposed directly to the rainfalls are the most impacted in view of the observed decay. However, there are also wall paintings in protected rooms showing evidences of decaying. The ...
Development of a Novel Method for the In-Situ Dechlorination of Immovable Iron Elements: Optimization of Cl- Extraction Yield Through Experimental Design
(Springer, 2021-05-24)
The conservation of iron objects exposed to marine aerosol is threatened by the formation of akaganeite, a highly unstable Cl-bearing corrosion phase. As akaganeite formation is responsible of the exfoliation of the rust ...
Removable biobased waterborne Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives containing mixtures of isosorbide methacrylate monomers
(ACS, 2020-05-22)
Growing environmental concerns are enforcing sustainable recycling processes for glass substrates, especially bottles, where a fast cleaning and minimization of the use of solvents is desired. In this process, labels and ...
Evidence of mercury sequestration by carbon nanotubes and nanominerals present in agricultural soils from a coal fired power plant exhaust
(Elsevier, 2019-10)
Mercury (Hg) in agricultural soils could have negative effects on the environment and the human health. The exposure to high level of Hg through different absorption pathways, such as ingestion and diet through soil-plant ...
Yoghurt standardization using real-time NIR prediction of milk fat and protein content
(Elsevier, 2024-04)
A system based on near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has been developed for the in-line control of the composition of the milk used as raw material for yoghurt production to control the content of protein and fat in the final ...
The potential of in situ Raman spectroscopy in the study of the health of cement-based materials of modern buildings during restoration works
(Wiley, 2021-11)
Although Raman spectroscopy is a common technique for the analysis of cement-based materials in the research studies or in the field of Cultural Heritage to carried out multianalytical studies, it is not generally used as ...
