    On a etudie l'anatomie d'un petiole fossile de palmier (Arecaceae) decouvert dans le Bassin du Rio Mannu di Ittiri (NO Sardaigne), dans des sediments d'age burdigalien. La comparaison des caract~res de l'echantillon avec ceux des taxa fossiles et actuels conduit h la conclusion qu'il appartient a une nouvelle espece, Palmocaulon logudorenseViene qui presentato lo studio anatomico di un picciolo fossile di palma (Arecaceae). Il reperto proviene da sedimenti di età burdigaliana del Bacino del Rio Mannu (Ittiri, Sardegna NW). Dal confronto con taxa fossili e attuali si deduce che il fossile appartiene alla nuova specie Palmocaulon logudorenseAn anatomical study of a fossil palm petiole (Arecaceae) was carried out. The fossil was found in sediments of Burdigalian age in the Rio Mannu basin (Ittiri, NW Sardinia). From a comparison with both fossil and existing taxa it is concluded that the fossil palm belongs to the new species, Palmocaulon logudorense

    This study aims to assess the presence of fluorine in products (concentrates and tailings) of selective froth flotation of materials resulting from demolition of electrolytic cells used in aluminium electromining. In fact in a previous work (Ciccu et al. 2009) the possibility of recovering a combustible matter from this wastes using froth flotation has been studied. In particular the following aspects have been evaluated: · The relationship between F and C contents in flotation products · The need to reduce the content of F in the concentrates for use them as fuels in accordance with the current national and international laws · The convenience to reduce the content of F in the flotation tailings destined to waste deposits. The levels of F assessed in the products suggest to consider the possibility of recovering this element as by-product to be used in the cement industry. The results show that the presence of F in the products of froth flotation, although being a penalizing element, does not preclude the recovery of this material to be used as fuel, especially if appropriate precautions are taken
