Protein precipitation relies on a supersaturation driving force generated by a change in the system, which promotes protein aggregation and sedimentation. It is a unit operation often used at the beginning of protein recovery and purification processes. Crystallization (formation of a solid phase with a well-defined tridimensional shape) also used on bioproduct downstream processing, reli…
This proposal intends to face technological challenges put forth by a new conception of integrated biorefinery, taking advantage of synergies between the production processes of the two most important biofuels in the Brazilian context: 1st and 2nd generation bioethanol from sugarcane, and biodiesel from vegetable oils and of microbial origin. With this purpose, researchers with large expe…
Oleaginous yeast produce oils with a similar lipid profile to edible vegetable oils. However, low yield of lipid synthesis from carbohydrates results in raw material high cost. To overcome this drawback, hemicellulosic hydrolysates can be used as low cost carbon source for viable economical production of oil in these yeasts aiming biodiesel production in biorefineries. Another drawback o…

Fructooligosaccharides are prebiotics belonging to the class of fructose oligomers, which are not produced in Brazil. Despite several researches aimed at their production, there is a lack of economic feasibility studies of the processes under development. In this context, this project aims to carry out the modeling, simulation, and technical-economic analysis of a packed bed bioreactor wi…
The postdoctoral researcher (PD) will work on the topic of synthesis, optimization and reverese technical-economic analysis integrated to the simulation of the biorefinery biodiesel-bioethanol 1G-2G. The PD will develop and update models using the EMSO platform. It should then simulate cases of biorefinery in relation to subprocesses of production of high value products. Emphasis will be …

The challenging of increasing bioethanol production in Brazil requires research action in all fronts of the business: agricultural, industrial, energy, and sustainability. In the industrial front, process development aiming production of the second generation of bioethanol is one of most studied topics. In this direction, fermentation, recovery, and partial purification of the enzymatic c…
