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…
In the last few years, several R&D institutes, as well as private sector initiatives, have focused on the development of technological solutions aiming to increase the efficiency and sustainability (economic, environmental and social) of the production process of sugar, ethanol and bioelectricity from sugarcane. Moreover, it is clear that understanding and optimizing the 1st Generatio…
Increasing oil prices and global concern about climate change motivate the investigation of more efficient means of bioethanol production. An integrated process is proposed in this Thematic Project, aiming to maximize the productivity of bioethanol from sugarcane molasses, bagasse and straw, which give rise to, respectively, first and second generation bioethanol. The Greenhouse Gas carbo…

Bioethanol is one of the most used renewable automotive biofuel, which has potential to replace and to be added to fossil fuels as gasoline. Therefore, the search for more efficient production rotes is constant, in order to ensure the best performance of its production chain. In Brazil, bioethanol production uses sugarcane as raw material, which is processed by steps of treatment, ferment…
Water is always present in liquid, soluble, free or emulsified form, being its origin in the composition of the feedstock or in the incorporation of water during the productive processes or transport and storage. High content of water can affect significantly the quality of fuels, allowing the growth of microorganisms that use the fuel itself as a source of energy. Some of the consequence…
The recent economic crisis in Brazil and the decrease in ethanol exports have made Brazil to face some problems in the world scenario of fuels. China and USA have been promoting bioethanol production, forcing Brazil to look for new production routes for other fuels and ethanol itself. The still deficient 2nd Generation Ethanol production does not have the capacity to fit the external mark…

Water is always present in liquid fuels in three different forms: soluble, free, or emulsified, which can considerably impair fuel quality for the development of microorganisms. These organisms contribute to the generation of sludge, the increase of turbidity, and the corrosion of tanks and mechanical components of motor vehicles. In this context, this project proposes the synthesis of a …
