Development of integrated strategies using non-recombinant yeast for 2G ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2023-01-31)
The viability of second-generation (2G) ethanol production still requires overcoming some bottlenecks, such as the underutilization of the hemicellulosic fraction of biomass and process improvements to reach higher ...
Estudos sobre a produção de nanofibras de PVA via electrospinning e sua aplicação em filtração de nanoaerossóis
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2022-09-30)
Poly(vinyl alcohol) nanofibers for air filtration were produced by electrospinning using citric acid and different concentrations of Triton X-100 surfactant. Filtration tests with nanoparticles (5.94–224.7 nm) and tests ...
Electrochemical desalination using polyglycerol activated carbon: electrode, cell, and process development
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2022-11-18)
Capacitive deionization (CDI) has emerged as a promising electrochemical technology for the desalination of brackish water, which promotes the electrosorption of ions in the electrical double layer. In recent years, there ...
Catalisadores de Au/ZrO2 e Au/In2O3/ZrO2: Efeito das propriedades eletrônicas e estruturais na atividade para desidrogenação do etanol e hidrogenação de CO2
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2022-10-28)
Au/ZrO2 and Au/In2O3/ZrO2 catalysts were developed for CO2 hydrogenation reaction and Au/ZrO2 for ethanol dehydrogenation. The monometallic gold catalysts supported on ZrO2 with different contents (0.3 to 5.0%w/w) were ...
Estudo do desempenho de eliminadores de névoa na fermentação alcoólica extrativa
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2021-08-27)
The ethanol removal by gas stripping with CO2 offers a potential way to minimize the inhibitory effects of ethanol on yeast cells during the alcoholic fermentation, allowing higher ethanol volumetric productivity compared ...
Liquid-solid fluidized bed dynamics: experimental and computational analysis
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2023-11-06)
The liquid-solid fluidization is a simple process intensification strategy. The method remains underexplored, in part, due to the lack of predictability. It is not trivial to assess its internal dynamics without a robust ...
Avaliação da fermentação alcoólica extrativa em diferentes temperaturas com remoção de etanol por arraste com CO2
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2023-02-23)
By reducing the fermentation temperature, the inhibitory effect of ethanol is also reduced, resulting in wines with higher ethanol contents, but with a significant decrease in ethanol productivity, due to the negative ...
Encapsulamento de Trichoderma harzianum em matrizes à base de nanocelulose e carboximetilcelulose para aplicação na agricultura
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2023-06-21)
Microbial inoculants are a sustainable alternative to increase agricultural productivity and reduce environmental and health problems caused by the exacerbated use of agrochemicals. These bio-based products are formulations ...
Borra de café: análise da caracterização termoquímica, do processo de elutriação, secagem, peletização e da mistura com outros resíduos
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2023-04-27)
For the reuse of the spent coffee grounds, this thesis has two main strategies, the first is to evaluate its granulometry as a function of the thermal degradation behavior, the elutriation, drying process, pelletization ...
Utilização do CO2 em substituição ao O2 na ativação de Cu-MAZ na oxidação do metano a metanol
(Universidade Federal de São Carlos, 2022-10-27)
Converting methane to methanol has been a challenge for decades due to the high reactivity of methanol compared to methane. One of the challenges of this reaction to take it to an industrial scale was to find a safer oxidant ...
