Professor Renato Falcao Dantas holds a degree in Pharmacy from the Federal University of Paraíba, MSc in Chemistry from the Federal University of Paraíba and in Chemical Engineering from the University of Barcelona and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Barcelona (Spain). He was also visiting researcher/professor in diverse Universities such as: Università Federico Secondo (Italy), Universität für Bodenkultur (Austria), City College of New York, University of Nebraska, UFRJ and UFMS. He as Dean of the School of Technology at UNICAMP and Executive Director of the Fundation for the Development of UNICAMP - FUNCAMP. He is currently Associate Professor and the head of the research group: Advanced processes of water and wastewater treatment, with emphasis on ozonation and advanced oxidation processes. The professor is the current president of the Brazilian Association of Advanced Oxidation Processes (ABPOA), member of the International Ozone Association (IO3A), the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) and the Brazilian Association of Sanitary and Environmental Engineering (ABES).

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) are an important tool for environmental protection and public health, as they act as a barrier against chemical and biological contamination in water bodies. Unfortunately, the level of sewage collection and treatment in Brazil is still below developed countries. The state of São Paulo has the best sewage collection and treatment rates in Brazil, but sti…

Produced water (PW) is the largest waste produced by the oil industry. This waste is extremely toxic to aquatic biota, because it causes numerous deleterious effects when disposed of without proper treatment in the environment. Its toxicity is due to a mixture of compounds, among which the ones of greatest concern are: heavy metals; benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX); polyc…
Water reuse has emerged as an important alternative to solve water scarcity problems. Biologically treated effluents contain a high amount of dissolved organic matter, which consists of a heterogeneous mixture of organic compounds that may also contain emerging contaminants. Consequently, to ensure adequate water quality for reuse, it is of paramount importance to develop new forms of tre…
This project deals with the study of the ozonation process coupled to ultra/biofiltration aiming at the removal of micropollutants in effluents. For this purpose, it is planned to optimize the ozonation process of micropollutants and to couple it to membrane biofiltration. The goal of combining ozonation and ultra/biofiltration is that ozone treatment of micropollutants can produce more t…

Wastewater treatment plants (WTPs) are an important tool for environmental protection and public health, as they act as a barrier against chemical and biological contamination in water bodies. Unfortunately, the level of sewage collection and treatment in Brazil is still below that of developed countries. Most Brazilian states still have most of their WTPs without adequate tertiary treatm…
The ozonation process has been widely used as an advanced treatment for the remediation of effluents, with the purpose of reuse, due to the ability of ozone to oxidize effectively most organic compounds and to destroy pathogens. However, it has been reported that in most cases, ozonation is not able to completely mineralize the emerging contaminants and consequently can generate more toxi…
The treatment of domestic and industrial effluents is of paramount importance in the preservation of different aquatic ecosystems, aiming that the contaminants present in effluents are eliminated before the disposition of the treated material in the environment. Advanced oxidation processes (AOP's) are processes used in water treatment systems which associate more than one oxidative proce…
