  • Patent number: 10391347
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for treating an asbestos-containing material, which enables the asbestos to be transformed into inert products (i.e. not hazardous to human health) that can possibly be reused as raw materials for subsequent industrial processing or as directly marketable industrial products. The process comprising the steps of preparing an acidic solution/suspension by subjecting a food industry waste material to mixed bacterial and fungal growth and/or fermentation, and treating an asbestos-containing material with the acidic solution/suspension obtained from the mixed fermentation at a temperature of 120-170° C. and pressure of 2-10 bar.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 27, 2019
    Assignee: LEBSC S.R.L
    Inventors: Norberto Roveri, Isidoro Giorgio Lesci, Sandra Petraroia, Francesco De Laurentis, Marco Lelli, Odila Mezini, Giulia Montebugnoli, Selene Merli, Eros D'Amen, Roberto Gallerani

  • Patent number: 9408791
    Abstract: The present invention refers to oral care and oral hygiene products having photocatalytic activity comprising particles of a calcium phosphate compound, superficially functionalised with TiO2 nanoparticles in crystalline form, said TiO2 nanoparticles having: a) a substantially lamellar morphology; b) an aspect ratio (AR) comprised between 5 and 30; c) a surface structure having face (001) as outermost face of the crystalline lattice; and d) wherein the TiO2 is in the form of anatase, optionally mixed with rutile and/or brookite.
