The IRET-CNR team and the UNIFI team are working to analyze and characterize the materials used in the co-composting trial carried out at the EPS site in Nový Dvůr. The samples have been collected by the Czech team and sent to the Italian laboratories. Here are some photos taken during the analyses carried out in the CNR laboratory.
Green wastes and compost samples from Czech Republic
Sand suction table for the construction of the water retention curve
Weighing of the sample for the water retention curve
Preparation of water extracts (shaking) for the evaluation of soluble elements and other chemical characteristics
Measurement of electrical conductivity on water extracts of composting samples
Measurement of pH on water extracts of composting samples
Fluorimeter for enzyme activities determination
Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) for heavy metal and element analysis
Atomic adsorption for heavy metal and element analysis
