This proposal aims the acquisition of an unprecedented equipment in the country, characterized bya triple-beam electron microscope (TriBeam): laser, ions and electrons, with backscatteredelectron diffraction (EBSD), secondary electron detectors (SE), backscattered (BSD), chemicalmicroanalysis (EDS), computer system for 3D spatial reconstruction (Avizo) and automated imageanalysis system (…
The growth of the airline industry in recent years has stimulated the search for the production of aviation fuel from alternative energy sources. Within this scenario, the 4AirCRAFT project ("Air Carbon Recycling for Aviation Fuel Technology") was proposed, an international collaborative partnership between seven research institutions (5 from Europe, 1 from Japan and 1 from Brazil), with …

The incessant and majority use of fossil fuels since their discovery has generated undeniable consequences for the environment, especially with the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, at the same time that it has shaped human lifestyle. The aviation sector has grown and impacted social and commercial relationships and stood out in war situations. In view of this context, …
The growing demand for oil barrels worldwide and its large-scale use in the fossil fuel sector raises concerns in regard to the greenhouse effect intensification. Due to its direct responsibility for about 12% of the emissions worldwide, the aviation sector has become a key point in the study of actions aimed at mitigating the emission of pollutants on a large scale and that can also prom…
The growth of the airline industry in recent years has stimulated the search for the production of aviation fuel from alternative energy sources. Thus, the 4AirCRAFT project was proposed and approved, an international partnership between seven universities, with the objective of developing an unprecedented technology for the synthesis of aviation fuel from the direct conversion of CO2 in …
Two of the principles of Green Chemistry aim at the use of renewable raw materials and the use of less hazardous substances in industrial processes. In accordance with the current trend toward consolidation of such principles, the soybean oil epoxidation reaction system is promising. Studies show that the product of this reaction, epoxidized soybean oil (OSE), has application as a main co…

The incessant and majority use of fossil fuels has generated undeniable consequences for the environment, especially with the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. The aviation sector growth has influenced social and commercial relations worldwide. Given this context, there has been an increasing demand for improvements in the efficiency of the processes for obtaining hydro…
The growth of the transport sector in recent years and the crude oil depletion has stimulated the search for the production of fuel from alternative energy sources. In this sense, gas-to-liquid processes (GTL), and especially the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS), have gained attention worldwide since allow the conversion of greenhouse gases into high quality synthetic fuel. Given this, the…
The epoxidation reaction of vegetable oils typically consists of a liquid biphasic reaction system, subdivided into an aqueous and an organic phase. When the soybean oil is used as feedstock, the main product of the reaction is named epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), which presents application as a plasticizer element for polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The main advantage to use ESO in this applica…
