Although there are numerous studies on the catalytic transformation of ethanol into various products, including partial dehydrogenation/dehydration and aldol condensation, many aspects remain unexplored in the literature that could lead to new catalytic routes. This proposal addresses relevant topics for the study of catalytic transformation of bioethanol, such as new compositions of cata…
This proposal is based on the possibility of producing valuable chemical compounds from one of the residues of the sugar and alcohol industry: fusel oil. This oil is composed mainly of alcohol with low water solubility, the main one being isoamyl alcohol (3-methyl-1-butanol), reaching 62% of the volume. The goal of the present research project is converting fusel oil into different higher…
This proposal aims the synthesis and characterization of amphoteric high surface area catalysts derived from the calcination of hydrotalcites produced by atomization with general formula Mg6Al2(CO3)(OH)16*4(H2O) containing transition metals Ag, Cr, V, W, Mo, Mn, Cd, Zr, Nb and La in 5% (m / m) as modifiers for the partial ethanol reforming in fixed bed reactors at atmospheric pressure. As…
The development of strategies for selective catalytic depolymerization and deoxygenation of lignocellulosic biomass is a challenge due to its complex structure, especially due to the recalcitrant behavior of lignin in relation to the hydrolysis of its phenolic ethers. The proposed research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of solid structured metal oxides catalysts derived fro…

The amount of waste generated in the sugar-alcohol sector is enormous, with Brazil being one of the world's largest producers of biofuels. The development of new products from the biomass generated by industries has been the subject of numerous studies. However, fusel oil, a byproduct of ethanol production resulting from the fermentation and distillation of sugarcane, has been little expl…
Despite numerous studies on the catalytic transformation of ethanol into various products, including partial dehydrogenation/dehydration and aldol condensation, many aspects remain unexplored in the literature that could lead to novel catalytic pathways. This proposal investigates critical areas in the catalytic transformation of bioethanol, including innovative compositions of hydrotalci…
The interest in sucrose derivatives has been increased due their different applications in various industrial sectors (pharmaceutical, cosmetic, bioengineering, chemistry, agriculture and food). One of the characteristics of sucrose is its behavior as a polyol, which allows synthesizing many value-added compounds, as well as being a low cost and environmentally friendly reagent. Sucrose e…
Lamellar double hydroxides (LDH) or hydrotalcites are anionic clays containing carbonate anions intercalated between double hydroxides of magnesium and aluminum lamellae. With the calcination of the hydrotalcite and the subsequent release of CO2, there is the formation of amorphous metal oxides, which have nanoscale pores and can act as catalysts in transesterification reactions because o…
Development of strategies catalytic and selective for depolymerization and deoxygenation of lignocellulosic biomass is challenging due to complex structure of lignocellulosic material, particularly for recalcitrant of lignin owing to the hydrolysis of its phenolic ethers. The proposed research aims to design synthesis and characterization of solid catalysts derived from hydrotalcite compo…

The proposed research project aims to use mixed metal oxides (MMO) derived from layered double hydroxides (LDHs) like-hydrotalcite containing Cu2+ as solid catalysts in ethanol reforming at high CO2 pressure to produce two classes of compounds, namely: 1. Guerbet compounds and 2. acyclic organic carbonates. The general formula of the Cu-Hydrotalcite used as a reference, is (Cu0.1Mg0.9)6Al…
The project stage of research abroad aims to improve work techniques immobilization and stabilization of lipases and their application in biocatalysis of reactions of hydrolysis and transesterification of vegetable oil. Lipases from Candida antarctica - fraction B will be immobilized by different methods of immobilization (covalent bonding and hydrophobic interaction) and its stability wi…
In this project of postdoctorial stage, the catalytic hydrogenolysis/hydrogenation process as pretreatment of sugarcane bagasse for cellulosic ethanol production by enzymatic saccharification and other chemicals used as liquid fuels will be studied. The reaction medium will be supercritical methanol (sc-MeOH) and the catalyst a copper-doped porous metal oxide in a catalytic conversion of …
