The invention relates to polymeric materials with which implementing packagings for food products. These packagings retain an active principle able to prolong the shelf life of the contained product and to limit each type of deterioration and/or degradation. It further allows to subject the food product to less drastic and destructive treatments during the sterilization phase before the packaging. The active principle is confined in the polymeric material, immobilized with ionic bonds to a lamellar organic solid so as to obtain an intercalation compound which is easily dispersed in the packaging. The packaging, coming in contact with the food product, can allow, under particular conditions, the discharge of the active principle and the scattering thereof in the food product, or it can be fixed in the packaging by performing a barrier action. The polymer matrix can be constituted by any type of thermosetting or thermoplastic polymeric material, pure or mixed with other materials, pure or with organic or inorganic fillers, with synthetic or natural origin. The system at issue can be used for any type of food packaging, such as for example flexible films, polycoupled films, basins, bags, small pots, etc.

PHOTOCATALYTIC FLUIDIZED BED REACTOR WITH HIGH ILLUMINATION EFFICIENCY FOR PHOTOCATALYTIC OXIDATION PROCESSES
The invention relates to the realization of synthesis of organic com¬ pounds or abatement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in gas-solid fluid- ised bed photocatalytic reactor with improved illumination efficiency. The photoreactor consists of a two-dimensional fluidized bed catalytic reactor with two walls transparent to ultraviolet radiation, by an illumination system based on an array of LEDs positioned near its external walls, and heated by Joule effect inside the catalytic bed to control the reaction temperature. Through the use of the reactor it is possible to carry out both partial and total oxidation re¬ actions with high activity and selectivity and, in addition, the illuminated cata¬ lyst surface area per unit of irradiated volume reaches values in the order of 106 m"1, significantly higher than the values typical of microreactors and slurry reactors. The photocatalytic system reported in the present invention is shown to have high illumination efficiency due to the use of UV-LEDs, which, ensur¬ ing a direction of light irradiation orthogonal to the emission point, minimize the dispersion of photons.

CONTINUOUS PROCESS FOR MICROSPHERES PRODUCTION BY USING EXPANDED FLUIDS
The invention concerns a process for the continuous treatment of an emulsion and/or a micro-emulsion assisted by an 'expanded liquid' for the production of micro- and/or nano-particles or micro- and/or nano- spheres containing one or more active ingredients. In particular, a liquid solvent expanded by compressed or supercritical CO2 is contacted with an O/W emulsion, or alternatively a W/O emulsion or multiple emulsions, formed by an external phase that is itself a liquid expanded by compressed CO2. The expanded liquid forms a solution with the dispersed phase of the emulsion and extracts it inducing the formation of the desired particles of the dissolved compounds. The process is carried out in a counter-current packed column wherein the expanded emulsion is fed from the top, while the expanded liquid is fed from the bottom. Thanks to the presence of the expanded liquid, any deposition of the solid particles produced on the packing elements is avoided, thus preventing any column blockage. A suspension of micro-structured particles of the desired product can be collected continuously at the bottom of the column.
It is disclosed a method for reducing the viscous friction due to the relative movement of a fluid and an object, wherein the object has an external surface in contact with a layer of the fluid and wherein the external surface has a base plane. The method comprises the following steps: forming on the external surface a plurality of projections projecting from the base plane; and imparting to the layer of fluid, by means of the plurality of projections, a profile with a periodic trajectory parallel to the base plane.
This invention presents the set-up of a heterogeneous photo-Fenton system for the abatement of organic pollutants in liquid wastewater by means of heterogeneous perovskite-based catalysts, both in powder and in structured form. The proposed method employs, preferably, structured honeycomb monoliths consisting of a perovskite-based material (unsupported catalyst), or structured honeycomb monoliths made of a refractory carrier or a foam im pregnated with a solution of salts corresponding to the desired perovskite (supported catalyst). The removal of organic substances is carried out at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, through an oxidation to gaseous CO2. The perovskite-based catalyst, in structured form, is more efficient in the degradation of organic pollutants than a homogeneous photo-Fenton cata lyst. It allows to enlarge the operative range of pH in comparison to the limited operative range of pH of the homogeneous system, without the formation of sludge. The effect of the concentration and dosage of H2O2 in the proposed method has been evaluated, thereby showing that a further increase of the removal is obtained by proper dosage of H2O2.
Provided herein are a control method and a control device for controlling a supply unit, which enable supply of the maximum power that can be delivered by a power source, said method being characterized by the presence of an absolute maximum on1 the curve of the power as a function of the voltage at the connection terminals; the supply system set betwee'n the power source and the load is preferably a DC/DC switching converter. The control circuit identifies the optimal operating point, using the relation existing between the harmonic components of the power and the harmonic components of the voltage at the terminals of the source. Starting from any value of the voltage at the connection terminals, the control circuit increments the value of the voltage if, for a given value of the frequency, the power and the vo'ltage at the connection terminals are in phase, whilst it decrements the value of the voltage if the power and the voltage are in phase opposition. The control circuit can be obtained employing discrete analog devices and integrated analog devices of a widely used type.
Solid polymeric materials for detection, transfer, amplification and memory of chirality of optically active compounds are described. These materials not only are able to absorb also traces of volatile organic compounds (both chiral and achiral) prevailingly as guest of a nanoporous crystalline phase, but for the case of chiral guests are also able to transfer and amplify their chirality, producing intense phenomena of induced circular dichroism (ICD). This induced dichroism remains stable also after chiral guest removal, as well as after temperature increases at least up to 250° C. The solid polymeric materials of the present invention can find applications in sensorics of optically active molecules as well as in systems for storage of data.
The present invention relates to gastroresistant and enterosoluble microparticulate systems for the encapsulation of biologically active substances selected from: flavonoids, vitamins, antioxidants, immunostimulants, starchy and non-starchy polysaccharides, probiotics, prebiotics, intestinal trophism regulators, oligoelements, enzymes and bioactive peptides. Such microparticulate systems allow the administration of the aforementioned nutraceutic substances to animals such as porcines, bovines, caprines, ovines, equids, canids, felines, camelids, lagomorphs, rodents, fowl, and other mammals, including humans, fish and crustaceans, increasing the bioavailability.
