This proposal aims to develop processes and technologies that implement integrated biorefineries from sugarcane economically, seeking essentially the production of chemicals, materials, fuels, and clean and renewable energy, considering processes with zero CO2 emissions. Different approaches will be investigated, in the virtual environment as well as experimentally at a laboratory scale, …
The Metropolitan Region of Campinas is composed of 20 municipalities and concentrates approximately 7.5% of São Paulo population. Recognized as an industrial and technological hub, it is home to large companies and important research centers. In addition, it hosts Brazil's largest oil refinery, REPLAN, and plays a central role in the production of biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, …
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…
O processo de hidroconversão é uma técnica promissora para melhor aproveitamento de frações pesadas de petróleo. Embora mais sofisticado e mais caro que outros processos, apresenta a possibilidade de um melhor retorno de investimento pois resulta numa maior quantidade de produtos de melhor qualidade (gasolina, diesel, etc). Este projeto faz parte de uma abordagem continuada de aprimoramen…

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…
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…
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 …
