Water is a highly crucial natural resource, and its quality is one of humanity's most significant concerns. The anthropogenic pollution of water resources with metal ions has generated catastrophic effects for humans and the environment, resulting in a continuous search for efficient and sustainable methods of removing these metallic contaminants. This interdisciplinary project involves d…
The proposed plan seeks to foster collaborations between Prof. Pedro Fardim, who currently leads the European Polysaccharide Network of Excellence (EPNOE), and the Macromolecular Materials and Lignocellulosic Fibers Group, led by the proponent, to conduct research projects of shared interest. The project will also involve the participation of Prof. Sergio P. Campana Filho, students, and p…

Water conservation and the recovery of critical resources are challenges to promoting a sustainable future and quality of life for new generations. Metals such as Cr6+, Cu2+, Mn2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+ are examples of these resources whose potential for contamination of water resources motivates the constant search for efficient and environmentally friendly methods to remove and recover them. I…
The use of lignocellulosic biomass as an input for the production of different materials meets the expectations regarding the use of renewable resources as raw materials for the production of new materials. Lignocellulosic fibers are mainly composed of cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin, with cellulose being the most abundant vegetal polymer in nature. In the present project will be sy…
This project aims at valuing lignocellulosic fibers by using them to produce fermentable sugars (which may generate ethanol) as well as bio-based materials. Sisal and coconut fibers were initially selected. The motivation of this choice was due to the fact that both of them are widely available in the country and present a different composition and morphology. Sisal has high cellulose con…
This project aims at perform the depolymerization of sisal cellulose, via acidic and enzymatic hydrolysis, what should result in fermentable sugars that are needed for ethanol production, also called cellulosic ethanol or bioethanol, in order to differentiate from that obtained via the petrochemical route. The sisal starting pulp has been chosen due to the short growing cycle of the resp…

Solar cells are an important alternative for generating clean and sustainable electricity. Cellulose acetate is a low-cost cellulose derivative that possesses, among other characteristics, stability, a surface rich in functional groups, uniformity, and the possibility of producing flexible, conformable and fine devices. In the present project, it is intended to use cellulose acetate, zinc…
Macromolecule derived from agriculture industries, such as lignin and cellulose, as well as soybean and castor oils, among other, by having large amount of hydroxyl groups will be used in the preparation of polyurethanes (PU). Blends of these polyols will also be considered in the preparation of PU. It is also proposed in this work to replace the synthetic diisocyanate by a lipid derivati…
Up to the present moment, syntheses of sisal cellulose esters were explored, as well as the preparation of films (reinforced or not with sisal cellulose) from these esters. These will be the starting materials for the study that will be developed, ie, films prepared from cellulose esters [different chain lengths and degree of substitution (DS)] solutions and biocomposites-type films prepa…
