The "offshore of tomorrow" is being defined in our generation. Awaken by climate change, we were made aware that the exploration of fossil fuels for the sole use of thermal energy cannot be sustainable in the distant future. The effect humanity has played in changing the climate of the planet by the emission of greenhouse gases is a pressing agenda for many, if not all, countries committe…
Multi-user equipment approved in grant 2014/21252-0: modulated differential scanning calorimeter with coupledreflection microscopy from Mettler Toledo (AU)
Environmental concerns and the risk of energy shortages are driving the transition to an economy based on renewable resources. Such a development, founded on the concept of biorefinery, aims to develop products and processes based on renewable raw materials and bioenergy. In Brazil, the most obvious example of this evolution is the sugarcane mills. Other sectors of the agribusiness have p…
This project aims to optimize the purification processes used in the production of biofuels and to enhance the added value of byproducts generated during such processes. In the case of bioethanol, the distillation process will be investigated taking into account minor components relevant for product quality, according to standards fixed by the legislation for biofuels and the requirements…
An investigation on the influence of both ionic and non-ionic co-solvents upon the thermodynamic properties of proteins in solution is proposed in this research plan. The experimental assays comprise the determination of osmotic pressure data (through membrane osmometry), light scattering data and water activity data (through the isopiestic methodology). The co-solvents which are to be in…

Molecular docking is a simulation technique that aims to predict the conformation and affinity of the bond between the receptor, a macromolecule, and the ligand, usually a small molecule, finding applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries, among others. Compared to other molecular simulation techniques, such as molecular dynamics, docking simulations are considerably faster, d…
The use of organic solvents in the extraction and refining of vegetable oils has gained prominence in recent years, seeking more sustainable and/or less toxic alternatives to the use of hexane. Although such solvents have been studied as substitutes for hexane over time, the extraction processes are not fully optimized. Thus, understanding the physical and thermodynamic properties of this…
Aiming to mitigate the problems caused by critical conditions applied in industrial processes, the search for alternative methods is necessary. Literature presents the liquid-liquid extraction as a mild alternative for the removal of free fatty acids and aldehydes from vegetal oils, which are extracted at high temperatures and low pressures. Among the side-effects of the current process, …

This research proposal aims at the development of methodologies for the study of the biological activity of proteins in solution as a function of pH and temperature of this solution and of the ions existing thereon. The final objective is the design and/or improvement of models for protein downstream processing operations. The main issues to be addressed comprise the relationship between …
