    Self-sustained Combustion Synthesis and Asbestos-bearing Waste: Scaling up from Laboratory Towards Pre-industrial Size Plant

    AbstractAn apparatus and a technique were developed for triggering the breakdown reaction of chrysotile by means of a combustion synthesis well known as Self-propagating High temperature Synthesis or SHS. The experiments were carried out varying different Asbestos-Containing Waste (ACW). The reactions were carried in a continuous-feeding configuration, indispensable for the development and fine-tuning of the process parameters towards industrial scale up. Experiments demonstrated to be effective in destructing the fibrous habit of chrysotile. The SHS process in comparison with conventional thermal treatments, due to fast reaction time and low activation energy, positively reflects into time and costs of the process

    This paper describes the synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles by laser ablation in solution synthesis (Lasis). The laser excimer beam passes through a focusing lens and it is sent to the reaction chamber. The frequency used during the synthesis was 20 Hz, intensity 26 kV The metal ablated by the laser beam undergoes an oxidation process resulting from the reaction with water. We obtain TiO2 nanoparticles with average size of 6.5 nm, crystallized in the rutile structure. The crystallographic and morphological structure was studied by transmission electron microscop
