• Abstract

  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…

• Abstract

  The production of biofuels from different types of biomass has gained ground in recent decades, mainly due to the search for sustainable and renewable alternative fuels. Therefore, new technologies are indispensable for efficient fuel generation through the thermochemical conversion of different types of biomass. In this work, the catalytic conversion reaction of biomass will be studied i…

  Thermodynamic characterization of the sub and supercritical gasification reaction of lignocellulosic biomass, BP.MS

• Abstract

  A essential input for the chemical and petrochemical industry is ethylene, considering that it is mainly used as the raw material for the production of ethylene oxide, ethylene chloride, ethylbenzene, propionaldehyde and especially polymers and copolymers. Cracking of ethane, propane or butane and gas oil cracking are main source for ethylene production. The price per ton of ethylene ros…

  OPTIMIZATION OF A MODIFIED SPOUTED BED REACTOR FOR ETHYLENE PRODUCTION FROM METHANE, BP.DR

• Abstract

  There is a growing interest in alternative sources of clean, safe and renewable energy, and in technologies for processing these sources into fuels. Among these processes, the supercritical water gasification (SCWG) reaction, for hydrogen production, and the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis reaction, for liquid fuels production, have occupied a prominent role. In this context, this project …

• Abstract

  This proposal of research internship abroad aims to identify and evaluate a non-linear programming strategy to solve an optimization problem formed by a set of algebraic and differential equations distributed in space. This research seeks to contribute to a Ph.D. research project "Optimization of a modified spouted bed reactor for ethylene production from methane (Process n° 2011/22800-3)…
