An integrated process is proposed in this project, so as to maximize the productivity of biofuels and high added value chemicals from sugarcane molasses and bagasse and straw. The conceptual idea is to use the first generation bioethanol plant as the basis, for new processes development, since in such plants many facilities are already available as it is with electricity, steam, water and…

The High-resolution Scanning Microscope (FEG-SEM) seeks to evaluate the morphology and also to analyze the surface chemistry in electrodes applied to devices such as batteries and supercapacitors. As we will work with nanometric interfaces and our experiments are extremely sensitive to contamination and surface heterogeneities, a highly precise characterization is crucial to the success o…

This project aims to explore the synergies between biomasses production, diversification and logistics of defined value chains for the production of advanced biofuels (with a special focus on aviation biofuels) via thermochemical and biochemical conversion routes. Gasification of sugarcane bagasse, other biomasses and intermediate energy carriers is an important technological route to adv…
By 2050 it is expected that electricity will move from 18 to 50% of the worldwide energy matrix, renewable sources of energy will expand four times from the current installed capacity, but CO2 emissions are expected to be half of today's value. In this scenario it is imperative to build novel solutions for energy storage that are still unavailable today and can cope with the predicted dem…

Due to the growing demand for clean energy, hydrogen (H2) appears as a promising alternative, which can be used in the storage, use and conversion of energy. There is enormous interest in introducing hydrogen into several sectors, with emphasis on the automobile industry, since it is now possible to produce electric cars with compressed H2 which powers a fuel cell (FC), generating electri…
Due to the constant search for alternatives to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which can be produced in gas turbines, for example, during combustion reactions, the use of equipment focused on minimizing the emission of such gases has been improved. In this context, the use of absorption columns is recurrent, responsible for capturing greenhouse gases from stream…
Hydrogen (H2) production is a trending topic, undergoing a boom in research and development (R&D) and the perspectives are to continue growing due to its promising role in the energy transition. The current H2 generation is mainly based on fossil fuels, however, this route contributes to the emission of greenhouse gases. On the other hand, the production of green H2 through water electrol…

This Project deals with the study of the poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) polymer, in particular in an L-lactide (LLT) reaction intermediate, produced by the synthesis of the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) that is used for the production of the polymer with high molar mass. There is another reaction synthesis for producing the polymer, direct polycondensation that permits to product PLLA wit…
Hydrogen is considered an energy vector of very high potential for the scale of the sustainable environmental energy scale, being one of the great research projects for use in the coming years. Among the projected carbon forms, the steam reforming of ethanol is shown to be one of the most environmentally correct forms, as it uses a renewable resource in Brazil, able to reduce much CO2 by …
This proposal aims the production of L-lactide dimers (LLT), derived from L-lactic acid (LLA), in a one-step process via reactive distillation for the synthesis of high molar mass Poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) by Ring-Opening Polymerization (ROP), and the processing of PLLA by electrospinning. Assessing the world scenario, it has been observed a large number of publications referring both to…

The additive manufacturing (AM) technique has as one significant advantage the direct from-CAD production of complex geometries. In this regard, physical biomodels, medical devices, and customized implants can be made by AM based on medical images obtained from computerized tomography, magnetic resonance, or ultrasound. Furthermore, the technique can also produce tailored cellular structu…
The use of lignocellulosic biomass as a future substitute for fossil fuels depends on the successful development of biorefinery strategies for the production of renewable derived-building blocks. In this context, levulinic acid has been pointed out as a polysaccharide-derived organic acid with a great potential for several applications such fine chemicals, fuels, fuel additives, pharmaceu…
This research project proposal represents the work plan and steps to be developed during an academic exchange from November 1, 2017 to October 31, 2018 in the Biotechnology and Society (BTS)/Bioprocess Engineering (BPE) groups of the Faculty of Applied Sciences at Delft University of Technology, TU-DELFT. The research internship abroad aims to contribute in the development of a methodolog…
