Biodiesel which consists of a mixture of fatty acids alkyl esters is an important renewable energy source. Besides all scientific and technical advances regarding Brazilian biodiesel production there is still a strong need of overcoming several drawbacks specially related to the new economically viable sources of raw materials (non-edible oils) and implementation of new and innovative ca…
Despite advances in medical intervention, one of the leading causes of death worldwide is bleeding due to trauma. As a result, the development of effective hemostatic agents for hemorrhage containment has become a priority in several medical research centers. There is a plethora of topical hemostatic agents available on the market with the most diverse pharmaceutical formulations and prep…
Despite advances in medical intervention, hemorrhagic complications continue to be a leading cause of death worldwide. Thus, the development of effective methods for the treatment of uncontrolled bleeding has become a top priority in several medical research centers. By definition an ideal hemostatic agent should have the ability to stop arterial and venous bleeding, be available for imme…
The possibility of using synthetic zeolites as inorganic solid supports for the immobilization of enzymes has open an window of opportunities to prepare alternative heterogeneous catalysts that combine the main advantages of enzymatic catalysts with those of the zeolitic catalysts. Although there are several studies in the literature describing the immobilization and the physic -chemical …

Biodiesel, consisting of a mixture of alkyl esters of fatty acids, is an important source of renewable energy. Despite scientific advancements in the field, there is a need to overcome some technological obstacles to increase the productive efficiency of Brazilian biofuels. In the context of economically viable exploration of new raw material sources, the oil present in wet microalgae bio…
The presence of bacterial biofilms in the hospital environment represents a significant challenge, negatively impacting hemostasis and wound healing, in addition to increasing the risk of postoperative infections. Previous research conducted by our group, with support from FAPESP, resulted in the preparation, characterization, and thromboelastographic studies of new hemostatic agents base…
The high energy demand of modern society, concomitant with the growing need for chemical products and inputs, motivates scientific research for new sources of raw materials that can be exploited to supply these needs, and at the same time contribute to the preservation of the environment. There are different sources of biomass meet these requirements. According to the literature, there ar…
Despite advances in medical intervention, fatal traumatic hemorrhage remains one of the leading causes of death in the world. Thus, the development of effective methods for the treatment of uncontrolled bleeding has become a priority in several medical research centers. In this sense, many efforts have been devoted to the research and development of new hemostatic agents that can act more…
The increase in the glycerol production by transesterification of fats or vegetable oils enables the studies of new technological applications for its use as raw material. For every 10 kg of biodiesel synthesized, 1 kg of glycerol is produced. The transformation of glycerol in other products with greater added economic values has gained high industrial interest, once it also favors the bi…

In the current energetic and chemical industry scenario, the search for new and renewable feed-stock sources is extremally necessary for this demand can be supplied. Among the possible feed-stock sources, biomass stand out. Biomass can be use for energy, fuels, chemical commodities, and other high value-added products. Chemical commodities are molecules used by chemical industry as starti…
Glycerol oxidation has been a subject for several studies all over the world; in general, these studies main purpose is to find an appropriate catalyst to convert, selectively, this building block into value-added products. Laccases immobilized onto solid supports are environment-friendly heterogeneous catalysts, which can be applied for glycerol oxidation in a laccase-mediated system. Th…
The main aim of the project is the synthesis of a new molecular sieve similar to the natural boggsite zeolite. This zeolite has a very complex and interesting 3-D structure and also a very high potential use as a molecular sieve and catalyst. The synthesis of the material will be performed using organic structure -directing agent (SDA), as has been demonstrated in the literature for other…
