Slovenian-Italian Conference on Materials and Technologies for Sustainable Growth has attracted important players on several technological sectors, with a wide attandence of scientists, R&D researchers and industrial people. the conference covered two main topics of future development of the society. These are sustainable development of materials and technologies for preservation of the nvironment and efficient use of energy resources.
B.01 Organiser of a scientific meeting
COBISS.SI-ID: 255772416For the company Electrolux Italia s.p.a we have made a comprehensive study (135 pages) with the title given above. The aim of this study was to find out industrial applicability of photocatalytic technologies for water treatment and eventual implementation of these technologies for the needs of Electrolux multinational corporation. On the basis of this study, cooperation with Electrolux was then continued in the laboratory with a design and construction of prototype photoreactor with prescribed dimensions for the use in Electrolux appliances. The reactor was tested with selected immobilized catalysts on Al-plates in aqueous media (description above). The report on this second phase of collaboration is in finalization.
F.09 Development of a new technological process or technology
COBISS.SI-ID: 1768955Within the industrial project with the company Corus Inženirji d.o.o. we have developed thermally conductive concrete mixture for application in the new generation of geotermal sonds for shallow boreholes. Using highly conductive additives, bentonite and polimer additives we have developed the concrete mixture, which is three times more conductive that existing mixtures. Based on this development we have enabled the construction and efficient work of the geothermal heat exchanger on the field. The efficiency of such a system has been confirmed by the studies of heat trasport on the construction site.
F.06 Development of a new product
