I-Tex: Treatment of technical textiles by application of organic-inorganic ceramic coating with water-repellent, fluorine-free and formaldehyde-free properties.

DESCRIPTION

In Italy, companies in the textile sector are encountering difficulties caused by a number of concomitant factors, such as the unfavourable euro/dollar exchange rate, strong competition from emerging economies, and fluctuating demand trends. These are compounded by structural factors within SMEs, such as a highly fragmented industrial supply chain, a lack of medium- to long-term strategic visions and a low propensity for technology transfer. In response to market demands and mandatory and/or voluntary regulations, the I-TEX project proposes the development of a water-repellent treatment with a low environmental impact, with high added value in relation to the properties conferred, the products used and the high knowledge content. Through the condensation of selected metallorganic precursors, previously hydrolysed, the sol-gel technology will allow the creation of hybrid water-repellent coatings on fabrics that are durable to maintenance cycles.

Textile materials treated in this way will not only be linked to fashion and design, but can also be proposed in rapidly expanding sectors for which technical performance and durability of the effect prevail (from fabrics for sporting applications or those destined for the automotive sector, to textiles used in construction or agriculture, or more specific ones for aerospace composites), demonstrating a flexibility and potential that has not yet been fully explored.

Photocatalytic ceramic foams for the removal of micropollutants

ABSTRACT

The technology involves the design and construction of a prototype reactor which, thanks to the properties of an iron oxide and lanthanum photocatalyst, allows the degradation of micropollutants in aqueous effluents using light in the visible or sunlight range, possibly in synergy with other advanced oxidation techniques.

DESCRIPTION

The present invention has as its object a process for the degradation of organic compounds including the use of a catalyst supported on a support represented by a ceramic foam of synthetic mullite, in the presence of an oxidizing agent in the presence of ultraviolet or visible irradiation. The process does not require the use of lamps emitting ultraviolet radiation, making the costs more sustainable. The technology in question effectively responds to an increasingly topical issue. New emerging contaminants (human or veterinary drugs, endocrine disruptors, biocides, plant protection, etc.) are gradually being detected in natural/potable waters.

ADVANTAGES

  • Efficient and low cost process for the removal of micropollutants in water
  • Modular technology adaptable to existing treatment systems

APPLICATIONS

  • Drinking water purification plants
  • Waste water treatment plants

Tubular connector for connecting mixed wood – concrete beams

ABSTRACT

The invention relates to a tubular connector used for the construction of mixed wood-concrete structures. The functional need is represented by: good performance in terms of stiffness and simplicity of construction and execution.

DESCRIPTION

The invention proposes a tubular connector for connecting structural elements, characterised by the fact that it is made integral by means of a tubular trace cavity without the use of resins and other adhesives. The structural elements composing the connector are a wooden beam and a concrete slab. In addition, the structural element does not have any pre-drilled holes.

ADVANTAGES

  • Good performance in terms of stiffness and load-bearing capacity
  • Simplicity of construction and execution
  • Ease of installation

APPLICATIONS

  • Building and construction field
  • Construction sites
