Abstract: A process for producing syngas from pre-treated recovery plastic polymers comprising: a) gasifying said recovery pre-treated polymers according to the following reaction scheme R1: [—CH2—]+H2O?CO+2H2;??R1: b) hydrogenating said pre-treated polymers to higher hydrocarbons and methane by using hydrogen produced in R1, according to the following reaction scheme R3: [—CH2—]n+H2?CnH(2n+2)??R3: wherein n is an integer of from 1 to 3, said reaction being optionally combined with oligomers and olefin formation reactions; c) steam reforming of methane according to the following reaction scheme R4: CH4+H2O?CO+3H2;??R4: and optionally d) reforming reaction of methane according to the following reaction scheme R5: CH4+CO2=2CO+2H2;??R5: said process being carried out in a plant (10), (20), (30), (40), (50) comprising a gasification section (11), (21), (31), (41), (51) and a reforming section (12), (22), (32), (42), (52) comprising a tube bundle (13), (23), (33), (43), (53) provided with a catalyst wherein,

Abstract: The use is described of chestnut tannin extract (Castanea sativa Mill.) and/or its fractions, alone and/or mixed with other polyphenols, as antioxidant, antimicrobial additive and for reducing nitrosamines and mycotoxins in raw food materials and food products for human beings and animals.

Abstract: A method for making tobacco provides to use chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) tannin extract or fractions thereof to reduce the tobacco nitrosamines, the chestnut tannin extract or fractions being applied to the tobacco plants on the field, through the soil or directly on the pre-harvested tobacco leaves, or in a tobacco post-harvesting step for manufacturing finished products, thereby, in addition to reducing nitrosamines, the method also increases the antioxidating and antiradical secondary metabolites; the method being applied to all tobacco types, such as flue-cured, air-cured, fire-cured and sun-cured tobacco.

Abstract: A use of a tannin and non tannin material phytocomposition or phytocomplex, either in a dry or liquid form, applied to the seedling seeds or seedling agamic multiplication members, or to implanted seedlings, to promote the starter effect, i.e. strong stimulation of the seedling initial growth. The phytocomposition is made by leaching a biomass of one or more of the following species: Castanea spp., Juglans spp., Eucalyptus spp., Quercus spp., Salix spp., Vitis spp., Mimosa ssp., Schinopsis spp., Olea europaea, Onobrychis viciifolia, Rhamnus spp., Artemisia spp., Lawsonia inermis, either in a single form or in a mixture in all mixing ratios.

Abstract: A sowing vessel and pot for seedlings and plants, characterized in that said sowing vessel and pot are made of a fully biodegradable material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of potassium octoborate hydrate which comprises the dissolution of boric acid and caustic potash in an aqueous solution brought to a temperature of 95° C., the drying of the product obtained and its grinding into an amorphous powder. Potassium octoborate and its polyhydrate forms obtained are specifically suitable for use in the agronomic field.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a micro-granular composition with a combined fertilizing and phyto-protective activity wherein the diameter of the granules ranges from 0.1 to 2 mm and in which there is a combination of fertilizers and phyto-protective agents, suitably co-formulated thanks to the presence of co-adjuvants capable of maximizing the agronomic efficacy and/or efficiency of the above composition. The composition is suitable for localization at the moment of sowing and transplanting of crops, and in applications close to the seed, the seedling and the plant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sprayable self sustaining mulch for protecting crops comprising an aqueous based mixture based on a sprayable vegetable filler and a binder consisting of poly(vinylalcohol). The composition is applied by spray means to form a protective layer on the soil.

Abstract: A granulated fertilizer composition for local application during sowing or transplanting, of the type comprising organic nitrogen and phosphate or phospho-nitrogen compounds as well as possible further fertilizer compounds or adjuvants, wherein the diameter of the granules is between 0.1 and 1.5 mm. Preferably, in the composition, the diameter of the granules is between 0.5 and 1 mm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a micro granular fertilizer for the prevention and treatment of Iron chlorosis based on the association of animal blood, a ferrous salt and a lignine derivative. The fertilizer is provided in the granular form with the granules having a size of 0.1 to 1.5 mm to be localized along plant rows or applied to spouted lawns.
