Phase equilibria in lipid, green solvents and biofuel technologies have gained increasing attention as research topics (experimental and thermodynamic modeling) in the last two decades. Among main compounds within this area of research, oils/fats for human consumption, biodiesel, bioglycerol, free-glycerol biofuels and solvents from carbohydrate-based biomass (as sugar cane) figure as mos…
Separation processes of the edible/oil and biodiesel industries involve fatty multicomponent mixtures that consist of fatty acids, esters and alcohols, acylglycerols, glycerol, and also some minor compounds, as natural antioxidants and vitamins. In the case of edible oil/fat processing, the unit operations that are related to this project, include: steam stripping of fatty acids/odors for…
This research project is related to a growing sector of the Brazilian Agroindustry, relevant in terms of exportation and under pressure to improve its efficiency and product quality. The project is focused on the separation processes by stripping in the fatty and oil industry, such as the recovery of solvent from oil/solvent miscella and steam deacidification. Our goal is to fulfill some …
The energy transition from oil refineries to biorefineries also involves obtaining chemical compounds, traditionally derived from petrochemicals. The fractionation of petroleum and the reforming and cracking processes obtain products with high energy value, such as gasoline, diesel and kerosene, in addition to products that supply the petrochemical industry such as asphaltenes, lubricatin…
To compete with the consolidated and traditional petrochemical industry, the oleochemical industry has pursued more upstanding applications for the bioglycerol co-product. Glycerol is an organic compound with three OH groups linked to the carbon chain (1,2,3 propanetriol). It is a very versatile chemical component, being used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries. In additio…
The oleochemical industry uses oils and fats of animal or vegetable origin as its raw material. Its importance lies on the production of edible oils, biocompounds (nutraceuticals, fatty compounds) and biodiesel. In the same way as other industrial sectors, there is a growing interest for more environment friendly and efficient processes, as well as healthier products and added value by-pr…
The sugarcane bagasse is the main agro-industrial residue of the sugar and alcohol industry in Brazil. It can be converted to the production of second generation ethanol (2G) and various bioproducts. Despite recent advances, there are still several opportunities to be investigated in the development of technologies for converting sugarcane bagasse into products with high added value. This…
For competing with the consolidated and traditional petrochemical industry, the oleochemical industry has been searching for superior applications for its most important co-product, bioglycerol. After the transesterification reaction and separation of the biodiesel fraction, the glycerol fraction contains several impurities, such as methanol, salts, matter organic non-glycerol (MONG) and …

This post doctorate sandwich project is intended to allow a visit to the research group headed by Prof. Dr. Rafiqul Gani from the Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby, Denmark. Its duration is estimated in 5 months. It is focused on the extension of the applicability of existent predictive methods, as well as the development of new predictive methods for properties of fatty compounds, …
