Dr. Antonio Carlos S. C. Teixeira (Ms., 1993, Ph.D., 1998, University of Sao Paulo) is Assistant Professor at the Chemical Engineering Department, University of São Paulo, Brazil, since 2005, and member of the Chemical Systems Engineering Center (CESQ) and of the National Institute of Science and Technology for Environmental Studies (INCT-EMA). He is lecturing of Chemical Reactor Engineering, Mass and Energy Conservation, and Advanced Oxidation Processes Engineering. He has supervised 20 M.Sc., 11 Ph.D. students and 6 post-doc fellows. He is currently supervising 3 post doctoral fellow, 5 Ph.D., 1 M.Sc., and 6 undergraduate students. He holds as author and co-author of 95 refereed journal papers, 280 communications in scientific meetings, one patent and 9 book chapters. He is the coordinator of the Research Group in Advanced Oxidation Processes (AdOx). His research interests include: development of advanced processes for the treatment of liquid and gaseous effluents; advanced oxidative processes; photochemical processes; degradation of micropollutants (drugs and pesticides) in water and wastewater; photoinduced degradation of micropollutants in aqueous matrices; development of microstructured photoreactors by 3D printing; homogeneous and heterogeneous photocatalysis; removal of VOCs by means of photocatalytic processes in fluidized bed in gas phase.

Micro-pollutants of emerging concern have imposed a major technological challenge: pesticides, drugs and other anthropogenic substances are increasingly found in aquatic ecosystems and even in water supply, being related to adverse effects on biota and human health. Overcoming this challenge requires understanding the behavior of these species in the environment and the development of tec…
Micropollutants of emerging concern have become an important technological challenge to be faced by 21st century engineers. Pesticides, pharmaceuticals, hormones, surfactants, personal care products and other anthropogenic substances are evermore present in aquatic ecosystems and even in water supplies, and have been related to adverse effects to the biota and to human health. To overcome…

Pesticides have been intensively used around the world to control pests in agriculture, raising environmental concerns associated with the toxicity of these compounds to humans and other organisms. Particularly, metribuzin (MTZ), classified as an emerging contaminant of environmental concern, is toxic to the environment. Added to this problem is the presence of microplastics in surface wa…
The presence of emerging contaminants, such as antibiotics, in the environment has caused growing worldwide concern. Once in surface waters and other environmental matrices, such compounds can drive the spread of bacterial resistance, particularly in situations of large increase in drug consumption, such as pandemic health emergencies. The appearance of emerging contaminants in the enviro…
The presence of antidepressants in water has been a factor of environmental concern. Limited monitoring and potential risks to aquatic biota and human health allow us to consider such compounds as contaminants of emerging concern. Among antidepressants, fluoxetine hydrochloride was chosen as a model pollutant due to its high prescription and detection in water. Therefore, it is evident th…

Conventional wastewater treatment processes are not able to efficiently remove many pollutants of emerging concern. Advanced oxidative processes are very promising in this regard, especially those based on heterogeneous photocatalysis. In this context, new photocatalytic materials have been studied as an alternative to commercial titanium dioxide, whose main disadvantage is the very limit…
The maintenance of air quality standards is paramount for the health of human beings living in urban centers and industrial areas. For this reason, the development of novel technologies for the treatment of gaseous emissions is a field of intense research, the goal of which is to convert toxic pollutants into harmless molecules. In this context, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are known…
Nowadays, the presence of endocrine disruptors (ED) in waterbodies represents one of the most important environmental concerns. In Brazil, these pollutants are usually detected at concentrations higher than those reported worldwide, especially for the hormone 17B-estradiol. This is mainly associated with its resistance to conventional sewage treatment technologies, which makes necessary t…

Photocatalysis presents a unique advantage by allowing for the use of sunlight as an energy source to drive chemical transformations, thus reducing operation costs significantly in comparison with conventional thermochemistry. Photocatalytic (and Photochemical) reactors, however, are remarkably different from conventional chemical reactors, requiring additional mathematical efforts to pro…
The water contamination by residual pharmaceuticals is frequently reported in the literature. The effects of such residues in humans are not well elucidated, however, breast, testicular and prostate and reduced male fertility are diseases which are related to these contaminants. Thus, it is necessary to study processes that promote degradation of these emerging contaminants. In this resea…
