Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a renewable polymer with properties similar to polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and has the potential for widespread use in the packaging industry. This research project aims to investigate the feasibility of obtaining Polyethylene Furanoate (PEF) from spent coffee grounds. PEF is a renewable polymer with properties similar to polyethylene terephthalate…
The renewable fuels productions are a strategically important sector for developing countries like Brazil. Currently, biofuels such as biodiesel and bio-jet fuels are obtained from vegetable oils. However, the use of vegetable oils for this purpose presents a disadvantage as the seasonal nature of agricultural production and the competition with food crops. An alternative to vegetable oil…
The demand for liquid renewable fuels used in the transportation sector, such as ethanol, biodiesel and bio-kerosene, has grown in recent years. The production of lipid-based biofuels, such as biodiesel and bio-kerosene, has as one of its main raw materials vegetable oils. An alternative to replace these oils are oils of microbial origin, which can be obtained from autotrophic microorgani…
This project aims at optimizing and scaling up of treatment for detoxification of rice straw hemicellulosic hydrolysate by advanced oxidative processes (AOPs), to its use as a culture medium for ethanol production by yeast Pichia stipitis NRRL Y- 7124. In the first stage a 23 factorial design will be used to evaluate the influence of the concentration of O3, H2O2 and initial pH on the red…
The present project aims to study the ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials using rice straw hemicellulosic hydrolysate as substrate and Pichia stipitis as biocatalyst. For this purpose, the effect of the nutritional supplementation and the aeration level on the fermentative process will be evaluated. In a first step, a full factorial design 24 will be used to verify the indiv…
