In 20 years we are expected to reach the Natural Gas Golden Age, when methane will play a leading role as primary industrial feedstock. Hence, this proposal aims to develop fundamental and applied knowledge for the catalytic conversion of CH4 by oxidative routes, as well as the utilization of CO2 a greenhouse gas present in natural gas (and also by product of methane reforming). It is pro…

Mixed oxides based on vanadium and molybdenum are prominent catalysts for performing oxidation reactions due to the oxidative potential of vanadium in these structures. Catalytic oxidation is under constant study and the mechanism is primarily due to the redox cycle: creation of surface vacancies of oxygen and consequent rearrangement of oxygen atoms through the oxide structure to provide…
This new century has been characterized by intense research on the use of renewable sources for the production of base chemical compounds, such as conversion of ethanol, biodiesel, glycerol and lignino cellulosic materials and also in the preservation of the environment with the conversion of NOx and CO2 into products with low environmental impact. However, there is a need for extensive r…
The biodiesel production, which occurs by means of the transesterification of triglyceride molecules with methanol and in the presence of a basic catalyst, is growing annually. This reaction coproduces more than 10 wt.% of glycerol, which also stays in growth. Consequently, the supply of glycerol is much greater than the demand. Therefore, the current challenge is to convert glycerol into…

Ethanol to hydrocarbons (ETH) reactions have received special attention due to the environmental problems caused by the use of fossil fuels. Its potential can be especially explored in the Brazilian scenario, where the production of ethanol from renewable sources is consolidated. These reactions can be carried out via heterogeneous catalysis by protonic zeolites, especially H-ZSM-5. In th…
In this project, acid catalysts based on the FAU structure will be used. These zeolites present adjustable micro-mesoporosity and variations of the hydrophobic-hydrophilic balance depending on their chemical composition. In a few two-phase reaction systems, the issue of phase immiscibility can be a problem for the overall performance of the process, so the choice of catalysts that favor p…
The conversion of methanol to olefins is often carried out in zeolites of Chabazite structure and the main obstacle of this technology is the obtaining of the zeolitic catalyst, as it involves the use of an aqueous reaction mixture containing an organic structure directing agent, in addition to the longtime of synthesis and high temperatures. As a strategy to overcome the limitations aris…
The two-dimensional zeolites are molecular sieves little studied in the literature yet. However,their peculiarities like presence of micro and mesopores and possibility of modification post synthesis justify the increasing the 2D zeolites area. In this perspective, the material two-dimensional lamellar ITQ-2, which has a disorganized structure of sheets and shows a superior catalytic acti…
Propylene is an important raw material and has been suffering with high demand and low supply in the global market. Propylene production by propane dehydrogenation (DHP) has been used to try to fill this gap, but this reaction suffers from severe deactivation and is an endothermic reaction, which makes it very costly energetically. A promising alternative to DHP has been found in the oxid…

The production of propylene, an essential organic chemical used in the manufacturing of various industrial products, is currently facing a demand-supply gap due to the switch from naphtha cracking to shale gas cracking. To overcome this issue, oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODHP) has emerged as a promising alternative to the dehydrogenation of propane (DHP), which is the commonly u…
This BEPE project intends to carry out the complete acid characterization of FAU catalysts, micro-mesoporous and with varied hydrophilicity, used in the ketalization reaction of glycerol with acetone. The reaction takes place via acid catalysis in a two-phase liquid-liquid system. A set of five catalysts showed that the porosity and affinity of the catalyst with the two phases play an imp…
Utilization of zeolites has been a strategic focus in converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into industrial chemicals because CO2 is one of the main greenhouse gases and has high concentration in atmosphere. Zeolites are microporous crystalline aluminosilicates widely employed in several catalytic reactions due to their selectivity, well-defined microporous structure, high specific area, high t…
Zeolites are an important class of materials with many applications, among them the use in basic or acidic heterogeneous catalysis, depending on the control of the physical and chemical properties during or after their synthesissyntheses. Several modifications have already been extensively made in the zeolites, such as syntheses of crystals of nanometric dimensions and zeolitic slides obt…
