Research interests

  • Dr. Scrano Studied The Problems Linked To The Safeguard Of Environment From Those External
  • Internal Events That Often Can Cause Its Degradation.&Nbsp; The Outlines Of Research Are: 1. Degradation
  • Transformation Of Recent Pesticides In Liquid Phase
  • Adsorbed Phase (Soil
  • Organic Matter
  • Clay Minerals
  • Zeolites
  • Cyclodextrin)
  • Toxicity Test. 2.The Use Of Hybrid Nano-Structured Materials As Absorbents For The Organic Pollutants Removal From Wastewater 3. Identification
  • Characterization Of Hydrocarbons From Crude Oil In The Soil Using Ultra Sensitive Methods. 3. Characterization Of Stone Materials
  • Causes
  • Level Decay Identification 4. Identification
  • Characterization Of Secondary Metabolites With Health Properties In Vegetables. 5. Identification
  • Characterization Of Vegetal
  • Animal Secondary Metabolites
  • Their Application As Alternative To Synthetic Pesticides.&Nbsp; In Such Activity Laura Scrano Make Use Of Low Resolution Mass Spectrometry
  • Coupled With Gas Or Liquid Chromatography
  • And High Resolution Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry
  • A Technique That Remarkably Improve The Possibilities Of Resolving Unknown Structures. Dr. Scrano Is Author
  • Co-Author Of More Than 172 Scientific Accepted By National
  • International Journals With Referee
  • National
  • International Congresses. Particularly
  • Dr Scrano Studied The Clay Minerals Properties Concerning The Capacity Of Retaining Organic Molecules Into The Soil (For Example Last Generation Herbicides
  • Other Organic Pollutants)
  • The Influence Of Soil Constituents (Organic Matter
  • Clay Minerals) On The Photochemical Degradation Of Herbicides. Moreover
  • In Order To Develop New Methodologies To Reduce The Environmental Risks Due To The Presence Of Pollutants Agents
  • She Has Adopted New Laboratory Tests
  • Has Developed Advanced Methods For The Degradation Of Organic Contaminants By Using Catalyser Semiconductor Powders
  • Ozone Flows In Liquid Phase
  • On Adsorbed Phase As Well
  • Identifying Pollutant Derivatives
  • Assessing Their Toxicity (Microtox
  • Daphnia Magna
  • Phytotest). Dr Scrano Was Also Experienced With The Use Of Inclusion Materials (As Cyclodextrins
  • Zeolites) For Soil
  • Waste Water Recovery
  • The Catalytic
  • Photocatalytic Degradation Of Organic Xenobiotics. At The Moment Dr Scrano Studied The Characterization Of Stone Materials
  • Level Decay Identification
