This project is inserted in a strategic area at national and global level, with regard to the generation of scientific and technological knowledge, in addition to the focus on training qualified personnel, involving environmental, social and economic sustainability. The general objective is the development of heterogeneous catalytic systems that will be used in the conversion of carbohydr…
Alternative sources of energy have been used in order to minimize both the emission of greenhouse gases and the economic dependence of non-renewable sources. Biomass, currently the most widely used renewable source in the world, is expected to play a key role in replacing fossil fuels in the medium to long term. Glycerin and polysaccharides can be converted into products of major commerci…
Catalysts based on metal nanoparticles (Cu or Ni) supported on carbonaceous materials (activated carbon or carbon nanotubes) and molecular sieves will be prepared, characterized and tested as catalysts in the oxidation of glycerol and acetol. Some methods of synthesis of metallic nanoparticles will be tested (wet impregnation, polyol-based method for the synthesis of Cu nanoparticles and …

Catalysts based on metal nanoparticles (Cu or Ni) supported on carbonaceous materials (activated carbon or carbon nanotubes) will be prepared. The methods of synthesis of metallic nanoparticles will be varied (by wet impregnation method, the polyol method for the synthesis of nanoparticles of Cu and the chemical reduction method with N2H4 for the synthesis of nanoparticles Ni), and the ca…
Industrial activity has contributed significantly for the increase in the heavy metals concentration in waters, representing an important source of contamination of the aquatic bodies, mainly when we consider that such íons can be spread trophic chain. Lead(II) residues possess high contamination capacity and they reach underground water, reservoirs and rivers, that are the sources of wat…
Industrial liquid effluents present a sufficiently complex chemical composition, contend organic and inorganic compounds. Heavy metals are very toxic and their discharge into receiving waters causes detrimental effects on human health and the environment. Among the technologies for metal removal, adsorption on natural materials as zeolites and clays seems to be an attractive method becaus…
