Raira Souza de Santana Castro

PhD in Process Engineering completed in May 2024 from the Tiradentes University with co-tutorship with the Castilla La Mancha University, degree in Chemical Engineering from the Salvador University completed in 2017 and Degree in Chemistry completed in 2021. During my academic career, I explored Scientific Initiation research at the Institute of Technology and Research (ITP) as a PIBIC-Cnpq scholarship holder and academic monitoring, in addition to achieving a Postgraduate Degree in Occupational Safety Engineering in 2020. During my doctorate in Process Engineering I developed a researcher with a specialized focus on electrochemistry of materials and sustainable development with the treatment of water contaminated by advanced oxidative electrochemical processes. My research project has involved a collaboration with the Castilla la Mancha University in Spain since 2022, focusing on alternative and innovative methods for producing type anodes by mixtures of metal oxides for treating wastewater contaminated with complex molecules. This ambitious project aimed to apply anodes made by alternative methods in the electrochemical oxidation of recalcitrant organic compounds, using electrolysis processes to promote an economically viable and sustainable approach, with the generation of CO2 and added value products.
