Pedro José Nolasco Sobrinho

He did a post-doctorate at USP - University of São Paulo concluded in 2005 where he researched and developed metallic alloys from residues generated in stainless steel production. He holds a PhD in Engineering in the area of #8203;#8203;Metallurgy and Materials from the Polytechnic School of USP. Thesis was defended in 2004. He holds a Master's Degree in Materials Engineering from REDEMAT: UFOP / CETEC / UEMG. Dissertation defended in 1998. He is a Metallurgist Engineer at the Minas Gerais School of UFOP, Class 1995/2. He worked for 10 years as Research and Development Manager at VAMTEC GROUP where he is currently a Consultant. He has 2 published books, 1 of which is an Ebook on the successful recovery of valuable metals present in industrial waste. It has 11 (eleven) articles published in national and international magazines that are well known in the area of #8203;#8203;metallurgy and materials; 19 (nineteen) papers presented and published in the annals of International Congresses and Seminars held in the USA, Mexico, Argentina, Sweden, India, China and Australia; 23 (twenty-three) papers presented and published in annals of National Congresses and Seminars and 5 (five) patents.Participated in boards to evaluate dissertations and doctoral theses and co-supervised some of the works.Conducted trips and technical meetings abroad, with emphasis on the following countries: China, Germany, Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Peru.He took courses to deepen and improve various topics in his area of #8203;#8203;expertise where they can be highlighted:1) Desulfurization - Prof. Richard Fruehan.- USA2) Modeling and Simulation in Iron and Steelmaking. Teachers: Dr. Brahma Deo, Dr. Nirupam Chakraborti, Dr. Dipak Mazumdar - India3) Mineral Processing Techniques for the Treatment of Solid Waste Material and Rehabilitation of Contaminated Industrial Sites Professor: Dr. Sven Wolf - Aachen University of Technology - Germany.4) Modeling of Metallurgical Processes. Teachers: Dr. Jun-Ichiro Yagi - Tohoku University - Japan.He taught for several years for higher education courses in São Paulo (SP).He was the coordinator at UNICAMP of the Recycling Project for Rapid Steel from Grinding Mills Through Thermal Plasma, PIPE modality, approved by FAPESP in 2005.Assembled simulator equipment for the study of the behavior of materials injected by blast furnace nozzles during the master's degree.Assembled equipment simulating the reactions between the metal and the slag at high temperature (1700 C) for the study of the carbothermic and silicothermal reduction reactions of chromium and nickel oxides present in steel residues, during the Doctorate at USP Polytechnic School .Hundreds of products have been developed and tested in metallurgical, steel and ferroalloy companies, some of which are manufactured with industrial waste and co-products in order to reduce costs, take advantage of environmental liabilities and guarantee sustainability. He has experience in people management, training and teamwork, problem solving, characterization and agglomeration of materials and waste, project management, business plan development and analysis, among others.In 2005 he received the technical recognition award (PREMIO ACESITA) for the work "Recovery of chromium present in dust and sludge from the manufacture of stainless steel - influence of basicity" presented at the International Congress and evaluated as the best work in the area of #8203;#8203;stainless steels.He received an honorable mention for the work "Manufacture of synthetic slag for refining steel for electrical purposes." PSQT-2012 SESI-SENAI-FIEMG Award. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
