Isothermal calorimeters measure the amount of thermal energy released by thermal reactions over time at constant temperature. They allow to follow the hydration kinetics at various temperatures under ambient pressure. Its use in cementitious materials technology includes studies of the influence of composition or process parameters on hydration heat, allowing for example to optimize cemen…
Helium pycnometer is a lab equipment used for measuring de volume and the density of solids, with any shape (porous or non-porous, monolithic, powdered, granular) using the Boyle's Law. The equipment is prepared to test density of materials at lab temperature only. (AU)
Operation of Multi-User-Equipment Haake MARS 60. The rheometer is equiped to operate with torque 2 nanoNm - 200 milliNm (resolution 0,01Nm) and angular resolution of 0,012microrad. A Peltier plate allows operation between -40 and 200oC (AU)

The objective of this proposal is to develop a new technology using an environment with excess of CO2 for curing of the fiber-cement products reinforced with cellulose and synthetic fibers, mainly roofing tiles. Cellulosic fibers are adequate for producti... (AU)
Currently, the order is to save the non-renewable natural resources, promoting the reduction of environmental impacts, having as goal the eco-efficiency which links economy and ecology and leads to sustainable development. One of the most discussed and studied environmental impacts is the greenhouse effect: the atmosphere transparency has been seriously affected by the huge emission of po…
Collaborate in ongoing research projects related to the development of low-CO2 alternatives for the cement industry as well as participate as a professor in a graduate course in the same subject. (AU)

The clinker substitution by Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) reduces the CO2 footprint of cement in its production, this is the main strategy to reduce the environmental impacts attributed to the cement industry. However, cement is only the raw material, and it is essential to evaluate the environmental impact of the final products (mortar, concrete, precast, etc.) and to assoc…
The increase of air temperature in the cities, due to the urban heat islands phenomena make the demanded of electricity for air conditioning higher. Looking for reduce this energy consumption, were developed materials with characteristics as high reflectance and high emittance, known as cool surfaces. Due the lost of reflectance by external agents, this paper aims to verify the relationsh…
The considerable increase in greenhouse gases (GHG) in recent years and the consumption of non-renewable natural resources (limestone and fossil fuels) are related to the growing Portland cement production, from 2.8 to 4.2 billion tons between from 2011 to 2016, requires to develop new technological to reduce environmental impact.One of the proposed methodologies for this problem is the m…
The cities development and population growth demands more infrastructure and buildings. In this case, cement is one of the most essential material. In the manufacturing process, CO2 is emitted due to fuel oxidation and limestone decarbonation. Cement industry releases 5 to 8% of CO2 anthropogenic in the atmosphere. Some researches and investments are necessary to mitigate the CO2 emission…
