Analytical pyrolysis (Py-GC-MS): developements of methods in analytical pyrolysis to the characterisation of synthetic polymers, biopolymers, natural organic matter, complex matrices.
Analysis of emerging contaminants in sample of environmental interest by chromatography and mass spectrometry. In particular:
microplastics, water soluble/liquid polymers, biodegradable/bio-based polymers, cosmetic ingredients.
Biochar and biochar treated soils: evaluation of thermal stability, adsorption/release dissolved organic matter, nutrients and contaminants.
Polyethyleneimine in CO2 capture.
Screening studies on biomass valorisation by hybrid thermochemical and biological processes using micropyrolysis.
