Abstract
In this project, exchange visits will take place to consolidate and enhance the institutional collaboration between UNICAMP and University of Antioquia (UDEA) in order to further develop ongoing research. At FEQ/UNICAMP research has been investigating the potential of producing 1,3-butadiene (feedstock for rubber tires) from chemicals derived from sugarcane (Regular Research Award - BIOEN…
Production of microalgae-based tires: techno-economic-environmental assessment of conversion of the microalga Botryococcus braunii into 1,3-butadiene, AP.R SPRINT
Abstract
Changes in the petrochemical industry have resulted in decreasing production of four-carbon olefins and, consequently, it has affected the supply of 1,3-butadiene to the rubber tires industry. For this reason, chemical companies have been searching for renewable sources of butadiene precursors, thereby creating a potential market for sugarcane companies. However, it is not obvious which t…

The main objective of the visit is to advance research concepts in the areas of process integration, energy efficiency, and process flexibility with focus on the transformation of Brazilian and Canadi…
Assessment of design and process integration methodologies considering the emerging design paradigm for forest products sector transformation, AV.EXT
Abstract
Dr. Ezeji (OSU) is a research associate in the ongoing FAPESP-funded project and in the two planned visits to UNICAMP, he will offer training (in butanol fermentation and metabolic engineering) to students involved in the project and to those interested in the research subject. In addition, he will contribute to experimental plans and designs, and the start-up of the anaerobic cultivation…
Energy-efficient production of butanol (an advanced biofuel) from eucalyptus wood, AP.R
Abstract
Following the current global evolution of the pulp industry, Brazilian eucalyptus pulp producers are interested in expanding their product portfolio and penetrate emerging markets of the bio-economy. Among an array of products, there is a special interest in biofuels and chemicals such butanol. Although modern pulp mills are energy exporters, high steam consumption and excessive stillage …

Abstract
Solventogenic clostridium species responsible for the ABE fermentation (Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol) are strongly inhibited by butanol, resulting in dilute processes with low energy efficiency and high stillage production. Possible solutions include fermentation technologies with integrated product recovery. Among these technologies, vacuum fermentation attracts attention due to its simplicit…

Abstract
The butanol production by fermentation is limited to the low economic competitiveness associated with high prices of raw materials, energy inefficiency, low yield, and productivity. The use of sugarcane bagasse hemicellulosic hydrolysate (C5 sugars, main xylose) and molasses as raw materials, are low-cost options and there is not competition for raw materials of second-generation ethanol …
N-butanol production from fermentation of sugar cane bagasse hemicellulosic hydrolysate with cell immobilization, BP.IC
Abstract
Regarding the second-generation ethanol production from sugarcane bagasse integrated into existing mills, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, commonly used in the industries for first generation ethanol production, cannot metabolize an important fraction of hemicellulose sugars (mostly composed by pentoses). Among several possibilities of using pentose sugars (C5), the conversion to n-but…
IBE production (isopropanol, butanol, and ethanol) from the fermentation of sugarcane bagasse lignocellulosic sugars mixed with molasses, BP.IC
Abstract
In the early-stage design phase of biorefineries, many investment alternatives are created based on different combinations of products and processes. However, due to limited engineer man-hours and financial resources, in the early stage these options are assessed based on non-detailed calculations, aiming order-of-magnitude cost estimates. In this context, this work aims to make available…
