Dr. Alessandra Zanoletti
Università degli Studi di Brescia, Italy
AZ studies are focused on the reuse and valorisation of industrial by-products. She works on the recovery of strategic metals (Li, Co, Mn, and Ni) from spent-lithium ion batteries, and also on the sustainability analysis of processes to recycle exhausted batteries. She worked on synthesis and characterization of new porous materials realized from industrial by-products (such as silica fume and bottom ash) for airborne particulate matter (PM) capture, and on the research of a novel method for heavy metals stabilization based on sewage sludge recovery.
Use of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Total Reflection X-Ray Fluorescence (TXRF), Micro X-Ray Fluorescence (μXRF), Ion Chromatography (IC), Optical microscopy, Colorimeter and UV-VIS spectrophotometer. Use of Ces Selector Software for materials sustainability analysis.
