The chemistry of the Green Deal

Oral presentation

The European Green Deal prioritizes enhancing people's wellbeing by striving for climate neutrality and safeguarding the environment, which benefits citizens, the planet, and the economy. Packaging plays a crucial role within the Green Deal, particularly concerning food production, preservation, and addressing plastic-related challenges tied to five of its 11 priorities: pollution elimination,...

The chemistry of the Green Deal

Oral presentation

For environmental, economic and societal reasons, the replacement of fossil resources (oil, gas, coal) is nowadays a crucial necessity and a real challenge for the 21st century. In this quest, the use of biomass resources can be considered as an alternative route, in line with a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach. Thus, biomass can provide a wide variety of biobased molecules...

61. Investigating ancient Islamic gold coins through non-invasive techniques: elemental analysis and smartphone colorimetry

The chemistry of the Green Deal

Oral presentation

In this presentation, the non-invasive analytical investigation of ancient Islamic gold coins is presented. A two-fold methodology was deployed: first, portable X-ray fluorescence was used in order to analyse the elemental profile. Second, a smartphone-based procedure was developed and validated to obtain the CIELAB descriptors of the samples.

Based on the elemental profile, a stable...

66. Corona process preserves the bio active properties of biobased packaging films

The chemistry of the Green Deal

Oral presentation

The Corana process is a technique based on non-thermal plasma. This low-energy technology is well known in industry for surface functionalisation and is gaining interest in the agro-food sector as a multi-tool for packaging: surface disinfection without harmful chemicals, support for printing processes, increase of adhesion of coatings. In this work, the corona process is studied along a...
