The FAPESP - Shell Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Innovation aims to be a world-class Centre for advanced studies with a focus on innovation towards sustainability and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. The Centre complements Fapesp's experiences in supporting high-level scientific research and technology development towards these fields. It aims to establish a world-class Centre…
Green Chemistry is the use of Chemistry or Chemical Engineering to prevent pollution. Besides being well spread abroad since the 90s, Green Chemistry is still underdeveloped in Brazil, with multidisciplinary research in this field being practically incipient. The developing of alternative solvents to the traditional ones is one of the research areas of Green Chemistry. Among these alterna…
The development of alternative solvents is one of the research areas of Green Chemistry. Among these, the supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2-sc) is one of the most promising, because it is cheap, readily available, atoxic, odorless, not flammable, being easily recycled and removed from the final product, besides having a mild critical point (Pc=73.8 bar e Tc=31.1ºC). Its solubilizing capac…
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are chlorinated organic compounds that have been heavily used as electrical insulators until they were banned by an International Convention (Stockolm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants). Nowadays these compounds are considered persistent organic pollutants, not biodegradable, toxic, lipophilic (and therefore subjected to bioaccumulation) of great…
