  In an attempt to curb the reduction of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, several CO2 capture technologies have been studied in recent years. This project will incorporate the use of solid adsorption technology in CO2 capture, for this, alternative adsorbents, such as a mixture of Porous Carbonaceous Materials (PCMs) from biomass residues and Hexagonal Boron Nitride (h-BN), will be studied. h-B…

  This project versa on the knowledge of biomass as an energy source, in a country where the energy deficit is high, and so is total convenience to use alternative energy sources. The objective of this study is to characterize the dried bark of Araucaria angustifolia and pyrolysed, also known as Brazilian pine, using techniques of thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron mi…

• Abstract

  Brazil is the fourth largest avocado producer and third largest consumer. Therefore, developing new uses for waste generated from the consumption of this fruit is of great importance. Thus, this study aims to obtain charcoal from the seed of avocado (CSA), which corresponds to approximately 18% of the total weight of the fruit. To produce the CSA, avocado pits are dried in an oven at 110°…

• Abstract

  Studies with biomass as a renewable source of energy have been increasing in recent years, because biomass as well as being less polluting than a fossil fuel is becoming an economically viable. Currently, some countries find it difficult to generate enough energy for distribution throughout the country, causing a significant socioeconomic impact. To overcome this obstacle, the present pro…
