In this project a demonstration plant has been realized to prove the process industrial feasibility. COSMOS inert has been proposed for re-utilisation as secondary raw material, in several matrices, then preserving natural resources. For all NEWS refer to COSMOS WEB-SITE, where the Layman report (with final project results) is available.
