ETS-10 as a photocatalyst by Yuni K. Krisnandi, Peter D. Southon, Asoji A. Adesina, Russell F. Howe

“…A more defective material is photoreduced when irradiated in the presence of adsorbed ethene, and catalyses the complete oxidation of ethene to carbon dioxide and water in the presence of oxygen. These differences are attributed to differences in the concentrations of exposed titanium sites associated with defects in the ETS-10 structure.…”

Synthesis and Characterization of Ti—MCM-41-Type Mesoporous Molecular Sieves with High Titanium Contents by A.S. Kovalenko, A.S. Korchev, J.V. Chernenko, V.G. Il'in, A.P. Filippov

“…The structure/sorption properties of the materials were investigated by X-ray diffraction methods and by the adsorption of n-hexane and water vapour. A possible mechanism for the formation of such MCM-41-type molecular sieves is proposed which suggests that the use of organometallic ethers M(OR) n , accompanied by ether solubilization with organic micellar templates, leads to the preferential localization of M in the mesopore surface.…”

Energy and circular transition of the industrial heritage – The Ex SNIA case in Rome by Serena Baiani, Paola Altamura, Gaia Turchetti, Giada Romano

“…The experimental approach aims to define conservation-compatible interventions within the broader framework of characterising current and potential resource flows, both material and immaterial, to achieve a circular ecosystem with zero-emission energy production, reuse and recycling of materials and water. In particular, the paper illustrates two ‘circular adaptive reuse’ scenarios on a pilot case, the most complex among the sites identified within the research activities, assessing the level of achieved circularity through specific indicators.   …”
