  • Publication number: 20230227356
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method and a system for processing concrete granulate for subsequent recycling of the concrete granulate. In the method, a container of the system is filled with concrete granulate, said container being gas-tight at least in some regions. Subsequently, gas comprising CO2 is fed, continuously or noncontinously, according to a level of CO2 absorption by the concrete granulate in the container, said level being determined by means of at least one sensor. After a predefined CO2 saturation of the concrete granulate has been detected, the concrete granulate, which have been enriched with CO2, are removed.

  • Publication number: 20220315290
    Abstract: A cap for a container comprises a lateral wall extending around an axis and a transversal wall arranged transversally to the axis, a separating line being provided on the lateral wall to define: a retaining ring intended to remain anchored to a neck of the container, and a closing element removably engageable with the neck to open or close the container. The separating line extends around the axis and is circumferentially interrupted for defining a joining portion which joins the retaining ring and the closing element. The cap further has an incision line which extends in the lateral wall, transversally to the axis, so that the separating line is axially interposed between the retaining ring and the incision line. Two connecting bands are defined between the separating line and the incision line to keep the closing element connected to the retaining ring.

  • Publication number: 20220185666
    Abstract: A pressure swing adsorption process (PSA) comprising the following steps: feeding an input gas containing H2, CO2 and impurities through a CO2 adsorbent material in a pressure vessel under a high pressure; withdrawing a first H2-rich product gas due to adsorption of CO2 in the adsorbent material; setting the pressure to an intermediate pressure causing the adsorbent material release a second gas stream; passing a CO2-rich purge stream through the adsorbent material, obtaining a purge gas; setting the pressure to a sub-atmospheric low pressure, so that a CO2-rich product gas is released under vacuum by the adsorbent material; re-pressurizing the vessel to said high pressure; said steps being performed cyclically in a pressure vessel or in a plurality of parallel pressure vessels of a multiple vessel setup.

  • Publication number: 20220106081
    Abstract: A combination comprises a cap for a container and a neck of a container. The neck is delimited by an outer surface from which a circular enlargement projects, the outer surface extending up to a rim of the neck. The cap comprises a side wall extending about an axis. A separation line is provided on the side wall for defining a retaining ring intended to engage with the circular enlargement to remain anchored to the neck of the container and a closure element removably engageable with the neck so as to be movable between a closed position and an open position. The separation line extends about the axis and is circumferentially interrupted so as to leave a joining portion between the retaining ring and the closure element.
