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)

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…
In this project, the glycerol obtained in the biodiesel chain will be used as a renewable raw material to obtain hydrogen by steam reforming. Nickel and cobalt catalysts derived from perovskite type structures and also dispersed in the Ce-La / SiO2 supports will be developed. We are expected that the catalysts to be active, selective and resistant to coke deactivation. Research groups fro…

The Centre complements Fapesp's experiences in supporting high-level scientific research and technology development in energy fields. It aims to establish a world…
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 organ…
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 opene…
The need to control and reduce anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases such as CO2 has stimulated the development of processes for the reuse and transformation of this gas via heterogeneous catalysis into fuels and chemical products, such as short-chain olefins (C2-C4), feedstock essential for the chemical industry. In this sense, several studies have been published evaluating the dir…
The large supply of ethane from shale gas makes the study of its catalytic conversion to products with higher added value quite relevant. Ethane is converted to ethylene through the dehydrogenation reaction, studies show that the addition of CO2 favors the reaction, leading to higher ethane conversions and less catalytic deactivation. The reaction of converting ethane to aromatics is know…

Much effort has been devoted to the generation of more sophisticated synthesis methods to obtain particles with as specific composition, size and morphology as possible. In this sense, one of the most promising synthesis techniques is atomic layer deposition (ALD). Unlike conventional methods, ALD allows the generation and growth of precision-controlled atomic-level nanoparticles and film…
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a surface technique that can be used to prepare materials with improved characteristics on the atomic scale. The application of this technique for the design of catalysts has already proven effective in improving catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability, modifying the traditional synthesis techniques to maximize the reactive surface area of the mater…
