Bachelor's and Licenciate's degrees in Chemistry by Universidade Estadual de Campinas - UNICAMP (1989), Master in Chemistry (1991) and PhD in Chemistry(1995) by UNICAMP , staying 2 years in the Federal Institute for Forrest Research in Haburg, Germany ( 1992-1994). In 1996 finished the Young Researcher Project founded by FAPESP, being his Pos-Doc in Conversion of Vegetal Biomass at FAENQUIL. He was assistent professor at Engineering College in Lorena - University of Sao Paulo, where obtained the "Livre-Docencia" title in 2015, and was researcher at CTBE-CNPEM (2014). Teaches subjects concerning Organic Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry. Has experience on Vegetal Biomass Conversion, Agricultural Residues Utilization and obtainment of chemicals regarding biorefinery concept. The emphasis of his work in in Wood and Lignocellulosics Chemistry, acting mainly in the following subjects: sugarcane bagasse and straw, biofuels, lignin oxidation and derivatives, organosolv pulping, enzymatic bleaching, composites, biodegradation of sugarcane bagasse and straw and biorefinery of fruits residues. Specialized in Scientific Journalism by UNICAMP (2018). Currently is researcher at IPBEN-Unesp, Rio Claro-SP, Brazil. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The national fruitculture is one of the most important sectors of Brazilian economy, with significant contributions to the production of fruits, industrialized juices and sweets, exportations of industrialized food, and large-scale employment. Despite its great importance for the national economy, the agroindustry generates huge amounts of residues which contribute to increasing problems …
In this project we intend to demonstrate that it is more sensible (logical and economic) not to pre-treat lignocellulose so harshly, and have a more "holistic" approach to the process delivering the desired products whilst minimising overall process energy and cost by working on the optimisation of generating partial breakdown products and ensuring that the subsequent fermentation organis…

The objective of the project is to obtain and oxidize lignins from banana residues, quantify and compare the chelating capacity of the oxidized lignins with the aim to add value at a product that can be used in the removal of heavy metals from indutrial effluents.
The objective of this project is to obtain lignins from different parts of banana plant (mainly pseudo stem, leaves and peels) and perform their complete analyzes, oxidation and application as chelating agents and controlled-release formulations. This PhD project is connected to the thematic project "Fruit-refinery: obtention processes, characterization methods, and generation of products…
In this project the behavior of lignin, a macromolecule of vegetable origin and abundant, as a photoprotective material in paint formulations will be studied. Kraft lignin and hydrolytic lignin (lignins with higher availability on the market) will be used in combination with water-based dyes. These mixtures will be subjected to physical and chemical rotting, through irradiation with a ger…

Wastewater contains several pollutants and contaminants including organic pollutants, micro-pollutants, pathogens, plant nutrients, and heavy metals ions. These contaminants in wastewater cause serious environmental problems and mitigating them is crucial to increasing the amount of drinking water and minimize the damage caused in the environment. Heavy metal ions, primarily derived from …
The main objectives of this work is to study and to develop a route of ethanol obtaining from sugarcane straw and trash, in a first step, straw and trash will be pretreated to separate their lignocellulosic constituents and, consequently, to facilitate the hydrolysis step. It will be studied one method of conventional pretreatment (hydrothermal) and two others less conventional pretreatme…
The development of polymeric composite materials using natural fibers as reinforcement is growing and are occupying new market segments, due to the low cost of fiber, biodegradability, low density and good mechanical properties. The main objective of this work is to study the use of lignin as compatibilizer agent in polypropylene composites reinforced with celulose from sugarcane bagasse…
