Abstract
The Mineral Reactivity in Large-scale Processes (MiReLaP) project proposes the systematic application of the knowledge developed on mineral systems and processes (mechanisms, driving forces, kinetics and thermodynamics of transformations) to anthropic processes forcing mineral transformations during industrial production and management of societal and urban needs. In this view, special attention is posed to treatment of municipal and industrial wastes so as to synergize fundamental issues to depict large-scale processes occurring in our planet with one among the most striking present societal needs. The rationale is to capitalize on the know-how about minerals/materials and relate this information as directly as possible to waste treatment processes. Figure 1 provides a layout of MiReLaP project.
Goals
The Mineral Reactivity in Large-scale Processes (MiReLaP) project is a multi-methodological and multi-targeted task focusing on mineral reactivity as cultural core and engine. Starting from natural large-scale processes MiReLaP develops a know-how that aims to help govern MI-SW oriented processes. In particular, the MiReLaP activity wishes to provide practical enhancement and advancement in solving/tackling problems related to selected typologies of waste materials. In this light, MiReLaP research products do consist in traditional papers, presentations to congresses and disseminations, but will also include guidelines, protocols, patents and good-practice manuals, as a necessary bridge between fundamental research and production platforms. As a conceptual frame, natural geological assemblages are composed of minerals that are equivalent to the time-asymptotic equilibrium/quasi-equilibrium end-products of the mineral transformations occurring during MI-SW treatments, excluding abrupt path-reaction interruptions.
