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…
The purpose of this proposal is to seek funding in support of a Visiting Researcher to FEQ/UNICAMP, Professor Paul Stuart in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Polytechnique-Montréal. 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…
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 production of butanol has been drawing attention due to its use as a chemical and biofuel, and a promising processing route is the ABE (Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol) fermentation. However, the economic feasibility of the fermentative route is hampered by butanol inhibition and low ABE yield and productivity. Research has been demonstrating that genetic engineering and advanced fermentation…
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…
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 …
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…
