Influência da contaminação combinada de dextrana e amido na cristalização do açúcar
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2014-10-08)
Introduced during the colonial period in Brazil, nowadays sugar cane is one of the main crops of the country's economy, generating more than 2 billion dollars per year in the Brazilian trade balance. Despite the benefits ...
Melhoria do cetano em óleo diesel : abertura do ciclo da decalina sobre catalisadores de Pt, Ir ou Rh suportados em zeólitas FAU e BEA
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2011-06-08)
Environmental laws and stricter quality specifications have driven the development of technologies for improving the cetane number in diesel fuel. In addition to the saturation of (poly)aromatic compounds, responsible for ...
Otimização da produção de etanol 2G a partir de hexoses e pentoses
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2014-02-27)
The industrial production of fuel ethanol and sugar generates the main byproduct of sugarcane bagasse, which is burned in boilers for power generation. However, as a lignocellulosic material (consisting basically of three ...
Formação de mesoporosidade em zeólitas ZSM-5: avaliação do método de preparação e do potencial como catalisador ácido através do craqueamento de cicloexano
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2012-04-27)
Due to their potential as acid catalyst and hydrothermal stability, USY, ZSM-5 and modernite zeolites are widely used in several processes of petroleum refining and petrochemical industries. With the discovery of new ...
Síntese de titanatos alcalinos e avaliação na transesterificação catalítica
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2012-06-11)
Three methods for the synthesis of sodium titanates were investigated: solid state treatment (800 oC), hydrothermal treatment (110 oC) and sol-gel method (55 oC). The titanium oxide was used as starting compound for ...
Secagem de sólidos porosos granulares
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2014-07-18)
In the present work, an experimental study about heat and mass transfer phenomena was carried out during drying of porous media when subjected to an upward flow of heated air. The cylindrical porous media consisted of ...
