Thermochemical Processes (GPT)

Catalysis and Carbonaceous Nanomaterials: the main lines of research are: i) Synthesis and characterization of metal catalysts supported on biomass-derived carbon; ii) Development of catalysts for CO2 methanation; iii) Development of catalysts for selective dehydrogenation of bioethanol to acetaldehyde; iv) Production of hydrogen and carbonaceous nanomaterials (e. g. carbon nanotubes or graphene), by catalytic decomposition of light hydrocarbons; v) Catalytic gasification of biomass-derived carbonaceous residues; vi) Kinetic modeling and design and design of catalytic decomposition of light hydrocarbons; vii) Catalytic gasification of biomass-derived carbonaceous residues. g. carbon nanotubes or graphene), by catalytic decomposition of light hydrocarbons; v) Catalytic gasification of carbonaceous residues derived from biomass; vi) Kinetic modeling and design and optimization of structured catalytic reactors.
