Religious intellectuals : the poetic gravity of Emily Brontë and Christina Rossetti
No full textThis thesis examines the writing of Emily Brontë and Christina Rossetti in terms of its
expression of religious culture and belief. It is my argument that Brontë and Rossetti
experienced religion as intellectuals, questioning and exploring doctrine and dogma neither
as sentimental lady Christians nor dismissive, secular critics. I contend that by close
reading their poetry, the genre both women privileged as most appropriate for the
consideration of religious matters, the reader may trace the sermons and theological works
they read. Moreover, their writing, I suggest, evinces their intellectual response to
theological, ecclesiological and ecclesiastical developments that took place in the
nineteenth century. I thus label Brontë and Rossetti 'religious intellectuals,' a phrase
suggestive of their intense understanding of, rather than their mild acquaintance with,
religious debate. Many women writing within the nineteenth century found that religion
granted them a field within which to freely read and research, but were denied the
professional title of 'theologian.' Brontë and Rossetti are thus examples of a wider
phenomenon wherein women encountered religion like scholars, one disregarded by current
criticism unable as it is to categorize a female activity simultaneously religious and
intellectual. I use Brontë and Rossetti as examples of what I call the 'religious intellectual'
because they represent different sides of this classification. Where Brontë struggled away
from her Methodist background, serving as a cultural commentator on its enthusiastic
belief-system, Rossetti forged a scholarly identity as a late member of the High Church
Oxford Movement. Both poets, I contend, wrote about religion in order to signal their
intellectual ability. I conclude that Brontë's interest in Methodism and Rossetti's
fascination with Tractarianism reveals the poets to be both independent of family pressures
and false consciousness, and fully engaged with a subject central to their age

This work presents the PhD research project of Matteo Compagnoni. In particular, the presentation focuses on the valorization of bioethanol through the heterogeneously catalysed production of H2 and ethylene. The whole thesis was based on innovative heterogeneous catalytic processes, addressed from an industrial chemistry point of view. Besides the screening of different catalyst formulations, the attention was predominantly focused on process design, including the optimisation of process conditions, the use of less purified (less expensive) raw materials, less demanding conditions, etc. A preliminary economic assessment was also carried out for the centralised production of hydrogen from diluted bioethanol.

Electric and thermal energy from bioethanol : process intensification by using diluted feeds
No full textBioethanol attracted growing interest as raw material for the production of hydrogen. The latter can be successfully used to feed fuel cells with the aim of combined heat and power (CHP) cogeneration. A demonstrative project has been carried out c/o our Dept. [1] by running an integrated CHP unit with residential size, i.e. 5 kWel + 5 kWth. It was constituted by 6 integrated reactors, connected in series, fed with bioethanol and water, to produce reformate gas (prereformer and steam reformer) and to accomplish gas purification from CO (high- and low-temperature water gas shift reactors and two methanators). The purified reformate is suitable to feed a PEM fuel cell with the above mentioned power output.
The aim of this work was to focus on process intensification, to achieve an economically sustainable solution. This was done at first by identifying the effect of bioethanol concentration on process output and proposing suitable means to achieve bioethanol purification. This is particularly straightforward because second generation bioethanol is nowadays proposed as fuel or as blending agent for gasoline, thus requiring deep dehydration. However, if used as feed for steam reforming, much lower concentration is needed, allowing to limit distillation/dehydration cost, which account for 50-80% of bioethanol production expenses [2,3].
Process layout has been revised by comparing different possible schemes, compared as for heat and power duty (input) and output. Different solutions to account for energy input to the reformer have been also compared.
Accordingly, different options for the purification of raw bioethanol beer have been compared, in order to meet the required specifications and to limit the cost of the reformer feed.
The effect of the purity of the resulting bioethanol stream on reformer performance has been also experimentally addressed. As well, the effect of reactor temperature was considered, and this was set at the minimum level to guarantee optimal product yield, suitable catalyst durability and minimum heat input to the reactor.
Process simulation has been carried out by using the Aspen Plus software and economic assessment of the solutions proposed has been carried out by using the Aspen ONE cost evaluation tool.

Il chimico industriale al fianco del chimico e delle aziende per lo sviluppo di processo
No full textLa Prof. Ilenia Rossetti ha presentato un intervento dal titolo “Il chimico industriale al fianco del chimico e delle aziende per lo sviluppo di processo”. Partendo dalle differenze tra le diverse figure di professionisti chimici, in particolare tra chimici e chimici industriali, ne è stata sottolineata la complementarietà. Si è inoltre osservata la necessità di valorizzazione e promozione di una forma mentis, quella del chimico industriale, fondamentale per lo sviluppo di processo. Infine, si è ribadita l’importanza di uno stimolo reciproco tra ricercatori chimici industriali ed aziende

'We can but spell a surface history': the biblical typology of Christina Rossetti
No full textMy research examines Christina Rossetti’s use of biblical typology in her articulation of individual and communal identity. The central concern of my thesis is with tracing the ways in which she bridges the gap between the two biblical covenants and her contemporary situation by a ceaseless interpretative movement between the discourses of the Old and New Testaments. After examining the basis for her typological modes of reading, I demonstrate the various ways in which they underpin her interpretations of Tractarian, Romantic, and Pre-Raphaelite writings as well as providing her with a framework with which to structure her own poetic sequences.
In my examination of the ways in which Rossetti engages with patristic and medieval theology and articulates identity through the cyclical dynamics of typology, I consider her writings alongside those of Isaac Williams, John Keble, John Henry Newman, and Edward Pusey and highlight the key part they play in reinforcing the Oxford Movement’s liturgical momentum. Focusing specifically on her poetic utilization of the ancient practice of chanting psalms and antiphons, her engagement with the musicality of the church service, and her depiction of the visual aspects of ritualism, I read her poetry in terms of the mystical journey towards God upon which, she suggests, each Christian embarks.
Applying to Rossetti’s poetry the method of typological analysis that she herself uses, I consider how the poems in her 1893 volume, Verses, can be understood to comment upon her earlier works and how her earlier poetry can be seen as an antecedent to her later works. Through this, I trace the development of her theology as it engages more directly with the hermeneutical principles encouraged by the Tractarians and offers a basis upon which the patristic concept of trinitarian personhood can be understood

Ammonia synthesis represents one of the milestones of industrial chemistry. Nevertheless, huge efforts are still needed to improve productivity and lowering production costs. These challenging issues involve on one hand catalyst formulation, to solve some intrinsic limitations of the commercial Fe-based ones. On the other hand, process intensification is needed to optimise productivity while lowering the energy consumption, which mainly means the search for low pressure ammonia synthesis options. Some of these points will be reviewed in light of the most recent advancements in research, both from the point of view of materials and processes design
