  • Process for Melting Scrap Metal
    Publication number: 20130125707
    Abstract: Process for melting scrap metal in a furnace comprising the steps of feeding a charge of solid scrap metal to the furnace, supplying fuel and an oxygen-rich oxidant to the furnace and combusting the fuel with the oxidant to generate heat inside the furnace, melting the charge of solid scrap metal in the furnace by means of the heat, withdrawing the molten metal from the furnace. Following the step of feeding the charge of solid scrap metal to the furnace, the fuel is combusted with the oxidant so as to generate one or more visible flames in the furnace above the charge and before the step of withdrawing the molten metal from the furnace, the fuel is combusted with the oxidant so as to generate flameless combustion in the furnace above the molten metal.

  • PROCESS FOR PRODUCING REFINED NUTRACEUTIC EXTRACTS FROM ARTICHOKE WASTE AND FROM OTHER PLANTS OF THE CYNARA GENUS
    Publication number: 20130131328
    Abstract: Process for fractioning and refining natural products obtainable from waste vegetal material and particularly from artichoke (Cynara scolymus) production or from other plants of the Cynara genus such as the cultivated or wild cardoon. The process is based on the use of membrane separation technologies envisaging a tangential microfiltration (MF) phase on the raw decoction, followed by tangential ultrafiltration (UF) on the previous MF permeate and reverse osmosis (RO) on the UF permeate, in order to obtain a retentate rich in concentrated active ingredients and a permeate consisting of ultrapure water that is recycled for the preparation of the decoction. The process enables obtaining purified extracts of high biological valence to be used in the pharmaceutical industry, in the nutraceutic sector, in the cosmetics industry and for innovative products in the food industry.
