Concentration Area of the Program (Master's and Doctorate): Development of Processes and Industrial Products
PROCESSES OF BIOMASS ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT - This line of research focuses on the
development of processes using biomass and waste to obtain energy and processes for the
development of studies aimed at preserving the environment, including the reuse of
industrial waste; treatment of urban and industrial effluents, control and remediation of
pollution in soil, water and atmosphere. Projects associated with this line of research operate
in energy generation, obtaining products via pyrolysis, reuse of urban and industrial waste,
waste treatment, treatment of liquid and gaseous effluents, biological treatment of various
wastes, adding value to waste and from a perspective of seeking sustainability in all its
aspects, through new approaches and strategies for development.
PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROCESSES - This line of research proposes the development,
modernization and optimization of physical processes, chemical processes and products,
within the principles of sustainability, the use of clean technologies and the search for the
use of raw materials from renewable sources. This line works with the development of
processes for obtaining and applying membranes for different uses, the development of
polymers, mixtures, composites and transformation processes, also making use of
nanotechnology, surface treatment, obtaining magnetic materials and sensors, and obtaining
biomaterials.
