Researches

1. Catalytic and Bio catalytic processes

This research area aims to develop Works involving chemical and biochemical reaction systems, chemical/biochemical reactors, projects, simulation and control of real interest processes.

2. Organic and Inorganic Products

The research targets the synthesis and characterization of organic and inorganic products. Aims to contribute for the development of organic chemical inputs as nucleosides, nitrones, isoxazolidines and dihalocyclopropanes, polymers with controlled molecular architecture, chemical modification of natural polymers, adsorbent materials, hybrids and nanocomposites. Separation and purification of products/bio products are also included in this scientific research.

3. Biofuels

In the present research are developed methodologies for obtain biodiesel, including the studies of raw materials of second and third generation, as inedible vegetable and microbial oils besides the development and optimizations of transesterification/hydro esterification using specific catalysts. Alternative methods of the final product purification and characterization are also explored, emphasizing studies related to thermal and oxidative stability, using thermos analytical and colorimetric thecniques.
