Abstract: A modular plant, including at least one basic module is suitable for converting carbonaceous matrices (6) into fuel or useful products with no adverse environmental impact. The modular plant includes a rotary reactor (9) with a rotating drive mechanism (22) and a fixed stationary body (1). The inclination of the reactor (9) with rotating central longitudinal axis can vary from 0° to 45° with respect to horizontal. The reactor has a substantially cylindrical central body closed at a first entry end with a stationary fixed head (8), and at the exit end with a head fixed to the rotary reactor (9). The inlet end (8) contains one inlet (7) for the introduction of the carbonaceous matrix (6) into the rotary reactor and the other inlet (5) for introducing thermally conductive carriers (4). The rotary reactor (9) lacks internal components which provide rotation motion relative to the cylindrical body.

Abstract: A description is given of substantially spherical nanosponges which can be obtained by crosslinking cyclodextrins and their by-products with organic carbonates as crosslinkers and ultrasounds without a solvent.
