Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) for decontamination from toxic substances
Eco Research manages a hydrothermal carbonization plant (HTC) and promotes studies for the decontamination of various matrices from toxic compounds.
The HTC treatment makes it possible to transform, under certain conditions, the biomass into hydrochar, a product similar to lignite. …
Project on the quality and healthy of indoor air
Eco Research performs research projects that aim to:
Study the indoor environment in school buildings;
Check the influence of different construction methods on air quality.
The studies are based on the detection of the main air parameters (temperature, humidity, concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2)) and the quantification of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and formaldehyde…
Isotope analysis for the certification of the origin of agro-food and forestry products and for environmental studies
Eco Research collaborates on research projects with the aim to:
Create the first provincial platform for the isotope analysis of heavy elements (87Sr/86Sr) for the certification of origin of local food products and timber;
Characterize water cycles at the basin level and in agriculture applying light element isotope analysis (δ2H, δ18O).
Within these projects, Eco Research takes care of the following aspects…
