Doctorate at Chemical Engineering from Universidade Federal de São Carlos (1988) and Ph.D. at Chemical Engineering from Universidade de São Paulo (1994). Has experience in Chemistry, acting on the following subjects: steam reforming, dry reforming and partial oxidation of methane, ethanol and glycerol steam reforming, acetic acid steam reforming, CO and CO2 hydrogenation, shift and prox-CO reaction. The catalysts are prepared and characterized and are based in Ni, Co and Cu supported on CeO2, Al2O3. SiO2, ZrO2, perovskites, hydrotalcites and others. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
- Biorefinery concept applied to biological wastewater treatment plants: environmental pollution control coupled with material and energy recovery, AP.TEM
Abstract
The main goal of this Research Project is to establish the fundamental bases to apply the biorefinery concept to a biological wastewater treatment plant, with generation of bioenergy and high value-added products. Such conception is based on the use of anaerobic reactors as the core technology in a wastewater treatment plant, mainly because this process generates a broad spectrum of org...
- Brasil Research Centre for Gas Innovation, AP.PCPE
Abstract
The FAPESP - BG BRASIL RESEARCH CENTRE FOR GAS INNOVATION (FAPESP-BG/CEPID) aims to build up a new world class Centre for Advanced Natural Gas Studies, which will focus on the sustainable uses of natural gas in the coming years. The Centre complements Fapesp's experiences in supporting high-level scientific research and technology development in energy fields. It aims to establish a wor...
- Bioenergy production from wastewaters and environmental fitting of liquid and solid wastes generated, AP.TEM
Abstract
The advances of the last few years in the municipal and industrial wastewater biological treatment have been supported by basic and applied research involving mainly the fundamental aspects of the processes and the development of innovative bioreactors. A sound and thorough knowledge of the basic phenomena, together with the development of the engineering of biological reactors have ope...

- Oxidative coupling of methane using A2B2O7 catalysts, BP.PD
Abstract
Studies exploring the enhancement of catalytic systems for the conversion of methane into higher value-added chemicals have been received attention due to large natural gas reserves and the reduction of fossil fuel. In this perspective, the oxidative coupling of methane demonstrates to be interesting to produce ethylene, for example. It is known that ethylene plays a key role in the pro...
- Partial oxidation of methane to methanol catalyzed by Single-atom noble metal (RH, PD or PT) supported on doped mesoporous CeO2 (Ce1-xMxO2, m = Zr, SN or la), BP.PD
Abstract
The abundance, low cost and environmental concerns related to emission of methane into the atmosphere have intensified research for valorization of this gas in recent years. Currently, processes that efficiently convert methane to alcohols or olefins are complex and costly, because they require the intermediate step of reforming methane to synthesis gas (CO and H2). Due to the difficult...
- Ga-Ni nanoparticles supported on porous silica for methanol synthesis from CO2 at low pressures, BP.DR
Abstract
Currently, methanol, one of the main products of interest in the chemical industry, is produced from the synthesis gas (CO/H2) in a high pressure process (50-100 bar) using Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 as catalyst. The increase in world demand for methanol predicted for the next years makes necessary the development of alternative, selective and low cost processes for its synthesis. An alternative rout...

- Using a hybrid fermentative/microbial electrolysis cell system to enhance hydrogen production from sugarcane vinasse, BP.PD
Abstract
Economic growth of Brazil is largely supported by bioethanol production, which is a biofuel obtained from a renewable material, and its combustion is less aggressive to the environment, as compared to fossil fuels. Nevertheless, each liter of bioethanol generates approximately between 10 and 15 L of vinasse, which contains high amount of organic matter, as well as antibacterial and reca...
- Development of Ni and Nb catalysts for production of hydrogen from bio-oil, BP.PD
Abstract
The development of hydrogen generation technologies has been growing in recent years in response to heightening concerns about the environmental impact of energy use and worries about the security of fossil-fuel supplies. In addition, the hydrogen can be obtained from renewable raw materials. Standing out among these technologies is the steam reforming of bio-oil from the pyrolysis of b...
- Study of metal catalysts supported on pillared clays for the production of dimethyl ether from synthesis gas, BP.DR
Abstract
Due to considerable growth in the search for energy sources that use renewable fuels, the use of biogas (mixture of CH4, CO2) from the anaerobic treatment of wastewater and sewage, emerges as a promising process for production of synthesis gas (mixture of CO and H2). This synthesis gas can be used to generate products of higher added value, for example, dimethyl ether (DME), indicated a...
