    Capture of CO2 by vermiculite impregnated with CaO.
    (2022) Pereira, Matheus Henrique Simplício; Santos, Cláudio Gouvêa dos; Lima, Geraldo Magela de; Bruziquesi, Carlos Giovani Oliveira; Oliveira, Victor de Alvarenga
    Vermiculite samples were impregnated with different amounts of calcium oxide by the con- ventional thermal heating technique and subject to CO2 capture experiments in thermal analysis equipment. The amount of CO2 captured by calcium oxide increased from 13 g of CO2 per mol of CaO to 16.8 g of CO2 per mol of CaO when the experiments were carried out with pure calcium oxide and vermiculite impregnated with CaO (1:1), respectively. Integral isoconversional methods of Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) and Osawa-Flynn-Wall (OFW) were used for the kinetic study of the process and good correlation coefficients were achieved. The apparent activation energy values showed that for low conversions (a < 0.3) the controlling step of the process is a mixed step where the chemical reaction and the dif- fusion of the reagents into the vermiculite have rates of the same order of magnitude (20 kJ < Ea < 40 kJ). For higher conversions values (a > 0.3) the apparent activation energy values suggest that the slow step is a chemical step (Ea> 40 kJ).

    Effect of briquetting and coal moisture control processes on coke quality.
    (2018) Carias, Marina do Carmo; Silva, Guilherme Liziero Ruggio da; Assis, Paulo Santos; Santos, Cláudio Gouvêa dos
    Recently issues faced by cokemakers connected with availability of resources, coal quality and price, and environmental concerns have led to the development of coal pre-treatment. Aiming the use of semi-coking coal, technologies for increasing bulk density have been applied such as briquetting and coal moisture control (CMC) which have proved their benefits on manufacturing of a strong metallurgical coke. This work showed coke with high quality regarding bulk density, CSR, DI and coke % > 25 mm was produced from addition of briquettes 20% in the coal blend. For those cokes produced from CMC, coke containing moisture 4% in coal blend presented better properties than cokes with excessive moisture. It was disclosed the effect of briquettes 20% on coke quality is equivalent to produce coke with moisture 4%.

    Hidrogéis superabsorventes a base de acetato de celulose modificado por dianidrido 3, 3’, 4, 4’ benzofenona tetracarboxílico (BTDA) : síntese, caracterização e estudos físico-químicos de absorção.
    (2009) Botaro, Vagner Roberto; Santos, Cláudio Gouvêa dos; Oliveira, Víctor de Andrade Alvarenga
    Este trabalho descreve as sínteses de hidrogéis superabsorventes a base de acetato de celulose (AC), com grau de substituição 2.5, reticulado com dianidrido 3, 3’, 4, 4’ benzofenona tetracarboxílico (BTDA). As caracterizações das matérias primas foram realizadas por análises térmicas (TG/DTG) e espectroscopia na região do infravermelho (FTIR). O grau de substituição do acetato de celulose foi determinado por via úmida. A confirmação da reação de esterificação foi possível a partir da técnica de FTIR, espectroscopia UV-vis e análises térmicas (TG/DTG). A presença de poros no novo material foi analisada por microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) e porosimetria (BET). A influência da concentração de dianidrido no meio reacional foi investigada, bem como a influência do aumento no grau de reticulação no comportamento térmico do material. Foram obtidas isotermas de absorção de água em diferentes temperaturas para os hidrogéis com diferentes graus de reticulação. Os coeficientes de difusão dos géis foram determinados, juntamente com a energia de ativação para o processo de inchamento usando a equação de Arrhenius. A entalpia de mistura do sistema gel-água foi determinada pela medida da quantidade máxima de água absorvida no equilíbrio a diferentes temperaturas, empregando a equação de Gibbs/Helmholtz.

    Chemical modification of lignocellulosic materials by irradiation with Nd-YAG pulsed laser.
    (Applied Surface Science, 2001) Botaro, Vagner Roberto; Santos, Cláudio Gouvêa dos; Arantes Júnior, Gilberto; Costa, Adilson Rodrigues da
    Most reports about modification of lignocellulosics are mainly based on chemical modifications such as specific reactions on hydroxyl groups of cellulose. In this work, we describe the irradiation of Whatman 5 filter paper, microcrystalline cellulose and organosolv lignin with Nd-YAG laser pulses at 1064 nm. The chemical and structural properties of the degraded products were investigated by using FTIR and UV spectroscopies, conductimetrical and SEC analyses. While irradiation affects molar mass and polydispersity of lignin, no detrimental effects caused by Nd-YAG laser treatments were observed for cellulose samples. These results demonstrate that Nd-YAG laser can be used as a practical and selective degradation tool, opening a new field for obtaining surface modified natural fibers.
