STRATEGIES TO MITIGATE CORK WASTEWATERS POLLUTANTS

Cork wastewater is a recognized risk to the ecosystem if not properly treated before discharge. It contains phenolic acids that are recalcitrant compounds with high antioxidant activity. Their recovery could represent a potential way to valorise this wastewater. ...

ROMAN METALLURGY IN LUSITANIA: SOURCES AND METAL FLUXES FROM REPUBLICAN PERIOD TO THE ROMAN EMPIRE

The western end of the Roman World was occupied by the Lusitania province having important urban centres such as Conimbriga, Augusta Emerita and Mirobriga. The lead isotope and elemental characterisation of lead pipes with a Roman Empire chronology ...

g3 1 CHALCOLITHIC AND EARLY IRON AGE JEWELLERY – 2000 YEARS OF GOLD TECHNOLOGY

In the Portuguese territory, the Chalcolithic (c. 3000-2000 BC) gold jewellery mostly comprises basic shapes such as sheets, foils and wires, being quite different from the complex typologies from the Early Iron Age (c. 850-400 BC), which include ...

GOURD-SHAPED GLASS VESSELS: A PORTUGUESE LEGACY?

Late medieval gourd-shaped glass vessels are frequently found in archaeological excavations in Portugal.This type of glass shaped objects is not common in European finds, raising the possibility of a local Portuguese production. ...

HYBRID MATERIALS PREPARED BY IONIZING RADIATION CONSOLIDATION AND PRESERVATION OF ROMAN MOSAICS

PDMS-based ormosils with biocide activity were prepared and functionalized by gamma irradiation, aiming for application in the conservation of Roman mosaics from Conimbriga archeological site. Six different batches of PDMS-TEOS-ZrPO hybrid materials ...

BIODEGRADABLE POLYMER MATRICES OBTAINED BY IONIZING RADIATION FOR SKIN SCAFFOLDS

Progress on the optimization of biocompatible and biodegradable chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (Chit/PVA) matrices prepared by gamma irradiation for tissue regeneration processes continued. It was found that the use of 2 freeze cycles followed by lyophilization ...

ENHANCING THE SCOPE OF ICP-MS

Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a versatile technique capable of detecting and measuring concentrations of most elements of periodic table, making it suitable for a large number of analytical needs. Besides cultural heritage ...

ISOTOPE HYDROLOGY: MULTI-ISOTOPIC APPROACH IN COASTAL AQUIFERS AND THERMOMINERAL WATER SYSTEMS IN N PORTUGAL

Discrimination between seawater intrusion (anthropic actions) and minerals dissolution (natural salinization) were the main goals of part of the investigations carried out during 2017. ...
