Descrizione

The transition from a linear to a circular economy has become a key objective for achieving a more sustainable and resource-efficient society. Unlike the traditional linear model, which relies on the extraction, use, and disposal of resources, the circular economy promotes the valorization, reuse, and recycling of materials, minimizing waste generation and environmental impact. In this context, the chemical industry plays a crucial role, as it is responsible for the production of a wide range of materials and chemicals that are essential for modern society. Consequently, the development of sustainable chemical processes is fundamental to support the transition towards a circular economy.
Among the various strategies adopted to improve the sustainability of chemical manufacturing, particular attention has been devoted to the development of energy-efficient and cost-effective synthetic methodologies. In recent years, microwave-assisted synthesis has emerged as a powerful alternative to conventional heating techniques for the preparation of functional materials. By enabling rapid and selective energy transfer directly to the reaction medium, microwave irradiation can significantly reduce reaction times, lower energy consumption, and improve process efficiency.
This presentation covers the synthesis and characterization of various metal oxides, illustrating the versatility of this technique across different contexts.
