Method for treating cigarette butts
A methodology is presented with the related process layout for the recovery of cellulose acetate present in cigarette butts filters (consisting of paper, ash and tobacco residues, cellulose acetate and nicotine) for the production of plates, screens, and eyeglass frames. The methodology presented also makes it possible to recover the solvents used throughout the process. To learn more: Project Reborn - Procedure development; Project ReMo - Construction of the pilot plant.

Analytical system based on carbon fibres
The present invention relates to a stationary phase consisting of a bundle of Activated Carbon Fibers. The stationary phase of the present invention is suitable the trapping and concentration of samples and / or analytes in gas and / or vapor and can be used for uses analytical. With this step, a retaining system of the adsorbent bed is not necessary, furthermore the low impedances allow direct use in the analysis of volatile organic compounds from human breath useful for diagnostic purposes.

Preparation of adsorbent filters pre-labeled with standards for the evaluation of sampling of pollutants in liquid and aeriform matrices
The method of obtaining is presented the filter system and the related process for the analysis of organic and inorganic analytes using said system. The filter system and sampling and enrichment adsorbent comprises a stationary phase consisting of a felt of activated carbon fibers and sampling and / or enrichment standards, confined within a closed envelope.

Functionalized siliceous filters for sampling and purification of organic compounds
The functionalized fiber filters making up the device called STOP (Silanized Trap for Organic Pollutants), can be used for the sampling of dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls, brominated flame retardants, phthalates, fluorinated substances, pesticides and drugs. This device acts simultaneously as filter (aerosol particle sampling) and how adsorbent (vapor sampling).
