Modificação de meios filtrantes com nanomateriais para controle de bioaerossóis
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2018-06-15)
People are increasingly wasting their time in indoors environments, in these locations there is a risk of contagion from diseases transmitted by the airways, due to low rates of air exchange. Thus, the number of causative ...
Modelagem e simulação de aspectos hidrodinâmicos e cinéticos do processo de gaseificação de biomassa utilizando CFD
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2017-06-28)
One of the major problems faced by humanity nowadays is the issue of preserving the environment. In recent years, progress has been accelerated, having a direct influence on the environmental impacts caused by several kinds ...
Sobre a estabilidade de catalisadores de cobalto suportados durante a reforma do etanol
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2012-06-11)
Cobalt-based catalysts supported on γ-alumina and magnesium aluminate modified with lanthanum and cerium have been applied to various conditions of reforming of ethanol. The initial challenge was to control the rate ...
Assesment of alternative routes for sugarcane-based ethanol recovery: exergy and economic analysis
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2018-02-28)
The aim of this thesis was to develop a methodological approach that can systematically guide process simulation for better understanding of bioethanol production process. In the present work, the ethanol production process ...
Estudo da produção de bioetanol e biobutanol a partir da palha de cana-de-açúcar
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2019-02-18)
The present thesis studied the hydrolysis and fermentation steps of the hydrothermally pretreated sugarcane straw (cellulosic fraction), aiming bioethanol and biobutanol production. In regards to the hydrolysis step, it ...
Avaliação de adsorventes obtidos a partir de resíduos agroindustriais para a remoção dos inibidores gerados no pré-tratamento da biomassa lignocelulósica
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2019-02-26)
The pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass generates phenolic compounds and furaldehydes that inhibit the enzymes and yeast used in the process of hydrolysis of cellulose and alcoholic fermentation. In this context, the ...
Desenvolvimento de reator eletroquímico de leito particulado para processo hidrometalúrgico de produção de cobre
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2014-08-22)
Typical hydrometallurgical processes for metal production such as zinc, copper, nickel and cobalt, among others, are carried out in huge electrochemical tankhouses since only low current densities can be applied in order ...
Particle image velocimetry and computational fluid dynamics applied to study the effect of hydrodynamics forces on animal cells cultivated in Taylor vortex bioreactor
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2016-03-28)
Taylor-Vortex reactor (TVB) is fast becoming the next bioreactor to culture animal cells due to milder shear and homogeneous flow structures through-out the bioreactor in comparison to the traditional stirred vessels. ...
Soybean biorefinery with residues exploitation : process assessment
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2016-06-27)
Soybean seed is a renewable feedstock and the production process of soybean meal and
soybean refined oil generates residues that can be exploited, in such a way that the biorefinery
concept can be applied to this production ...
