Obtained the title of 'Diplom Chemiker' at the Martin Luther Universität (Germany, 1975) and Doctorate in Natural Sciences (Chemistry) at the same University (1979). Is linked to the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Federal University of São Carlos since 1980, being a Full Professor since 1991 and Senior Professor since 2014. Works in studies on heterogeneous catalysis and adsorption using zeolites and molecular sieves, in petrochemical, biodiesel and fine chemistry topics. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Cascade reactions are essential in the synthetic route of several molecules. Due to the number of sequential steps, many separation and purification operations are required in these processes. To overcome this problem, the single-step synthesis of multifunctional catalysts is a current and quite relevant challenge, since it reduces the number of operations, reducing residue levels and inc…
Biodiesel have been much studied in the last years because of the necessity of alternatives to fossil fuels. Actually, homogeneous catalytic processes are used to produce this biofuel; these processes demand purification and separation steps to remove the soluble catalyst. In this sense, many heterogeneous catalysts are studied to provide the substitution of homogeneous processes, highlig…
Biodiesel production has an important role in the current energetic scenario that seeks to diversify the ways of fuel obtaining and to reduce the use of fossils fuels. The transesterification reaction is the main way of biodiesel production. This reaction is catalyzed by a strong base, generally caustic soda, soluble in reaction medium, what turns the process more expensive due to the pur…

Zeolites are aluminosilicates that can show Brønsted acidity when in protonic form. As the microporous structure of the zeolite is formed, its total acidity becomes greater. However, in parallel, there is a confinement of acidic sites inside the zeolite structure, reducing its accessibility. In this sense, less crystallized materials can present, in various reactions, greater catalytic ac…
