About The Project
USE OF INDUSTRIAL MISCELLANEOUS WASTES IN PRODUCTION INNOVATIVE FIREPLACE
The object of the project is the detailed investigation of the main geochemical and thermodynamic variables, which affect the process of serpentinization and the development and application of a reverse process, representing as effectively as possible the conditions that prevailed during the initial serpentinization.
Objectives and Targets of the Project
Objective 1

Investigation of geochemical and thermodynamic variables of the serpentinization process

Objective 2

Development and Implementation of the reverse process (serpentine to dunite)

Target 1

Refractory magnesite - olivine masses

Investigation on laboratory and industrial level of the dunite exploitation for refractory magnesite - olivine masses production from waste streams
Target 2

Refractory dunite bricks

Investigation on laboratory and industrial level of the dunite exploitation for refractory dunite bricks production from waste streams
Target 3

Production of high-value products

Investigation on laboratory and industrial level of the dunite exploitation for production of high-value products
