The Thematic Research Project proposal envisages the increase of cutting-edge knowledge and the training of highly qualified human resources in the area of Environmental Electrochemistry, more specifically in the development and application of Advanced Oxidative Electrochemical Processes (PEOA) and associated processes for the degradation of chemical compounds considered Emerging Pollutan…
Acquisition of a gas chromatograph for the detection of organic compounds with potential for pollution and byproducts formed during the application of degradation processes that cannot be analyzed by liquid chromatography. It is important to note that the research groups involved in the proposal do not have this type of equipment in their respective research infrastructures. The acquisiti…
The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy technique is used to study the electronic properties of materials containing paramagnetic ions, which have unpaired electrons in their atomic orbitals, resulting in a magnetic moment. In EPR, an external magnetic field is applied to align the magnetic moments of the electrons. Then, an electromagnetic radiation source is used to excit…

The rampant population growth coupled with the widespread use of new pharmaceutical technologies and the careless use of pesticides and industrial waste, stemming from a lack of environmental consciousness, has inflicted severe harm to the environment. In light of this situation, it is imperative to find ways to mitigate the damage that has already been done, and electrochemical technolog…
The aim of this research project is the development and application of new materials in electrochemical processes (and associated) for the degradation of compounds with endocrine interference activity (endocrine disruptors), evaluating the efficiency of these processes and the identification of by-products of degradation. In addition, the project provides the development of electrochemica…

The rising consumption of fossil fuels, along with human-induced CO2 emissions, has led to the current challenges of global warming and energy crisis. One promising approach to achieving carbon neutrality is the electrochemical reduction of CO2 (RRCO2). This project aims to develop efficient and selective bifunctional catalysts for RRCO2, focusing on fuels like methanol and ethanol. Using…
This project aims to develop gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) modified with silver phthalocyanine, focusing primarily on optimizing the conditions for the electrogeneration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The research intends to evaluate the influence of different concentrations of silver phthalocyanine on the efficiency of H¿O¿ production, using techn…
Electrochemical technology allows the in situ generation of H2O2 from the 2-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e- RRO), using carbonaceous materials as catalysts. In order to reduce the overpotential required for the 2e- RRO, the use of organic modifiers on the carbon, such as the class of anthraquinone amines, can bring advantages to the system, since the amino group are electron donor…

This project aims at the development, characterization and application of gas diffusion electrodes (GDE) modified with metals from the lanthanide group in the treatment of alkaline aqueous systems contaminated with benzotriazole. The system consists primarily of the production of hydrogen peroxide (via the oxygen reduction reaction through the two-electron process); and, then, the use of …
In recent years, advanced electrochemical oxidative processes (AEOP) based on the use of electrogenerated H2O2 have become a powerful tool for the treatment of contaminated water. However, the viability of AEOP-H2O2 depends on the development of efficient and low-cost catalyst materials to generate H2O2. The anode material also plays an important role, but its influence is still poorly st…
The pesticide chlorpyrifos is organophosphate used on a large scale in various crop types. This class of pesticide is considered toxic to living beings, and few studies have been developed using electrochemical methods for the degradation of this compound. Given the limitation of conventional treatment plants in remediating pesticide residues, advanced oxidative processes (AOPs), become a…

Glycerol, a byproduct generated by the biodiesel industry, is a multifunctional compound with the potential to be converted into more than 2,000 fine chemical products in its raw form. However, due to its low purity and the presence of several impurities (such as methanol, soaps, catalysts, salts and organic matter) a significant portion of the glycerol obtained during biodiesel synthesis…
The employment of advanced oxidative processes, centered on the electrochemical generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), plays a crucial role in viable strategies for managing complex and realistic effluents. The proposed BEPE project aims to explore advanced electrochemical technologies for the treatment of synthetic urine, focusing on the In Situ generation of H2O2 and the application of…
The development of more efficient processes for the treatment of waste gas fluxes is becoming a necessity for real applications worldwide.

The use of compounds in industrial processes to meet population demand has resulted in the contamination of water resources. These substances are not efficiently removed by the classic water and sewage treatment process. For this, electrochemical technology is used, which produces oxidizing agents such as percarbonate (C2O62-) and hydroxyl radicals (*OH), capable of breaking down pollutan…
Emerging contaminants are becoming a major problem in modern society, as these products cause a high environmental impact and conventional wastewater treatment plants does not remove these types of pollutants completely. One efficient way to treat contaminants is through an Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP). This process uses a powerful oxidant to break down pollutants. The hydroxyl radica…
The contamination of water and sewage by endocrine interfering agents, such as antibiotics, has become a serious environmental problem. This is because, besides causing several problems to humans and animal biota, it can lead to increased microbial resistance in aquatic environments and, consequently, less efficiency of conventional treatments. Therefore, electrochemical technology stands…
