  PhD researcher, Interdisciplinary Centre of Energy and Environment The research project focuses on proposing a heterogeneous catalyst by the combustion reaction method and evaluated it in gasification of eucalyptus wood chips in supercritical water to produce hydrogen with high yields and decreasing the formation of tar.- Experimental tests of eucalyptus wood chips gasification under supercritical water conditions were performed in a batch reactor at different operating conditions (temperature, catalyst, residence time);- The gas, bio-oil products and the solid residue formed during the reactions were characterized (GC-TCD/FID, GC-MS, TOC, CHNO);- Carbon balance; - Synthesis of a heterogeneous catalyst by combustion method;- Characterization of fresh and used catalyst (XRD, TPR, BET, EDX, TGA, MEV, CHNO);- Contribution to scientific articles: 3 official publications (at Energies, Fuel Journal and at REDE:Revista Eletrônica do Prodema), 2 publications in International Conference/Congress and 1 publication at Brazilian Congress Show less

  A proposal was applied and approved allowing me to join as BRISK2 visitors to Aston University. During the time as a BRISK2 visiting researcher, experiment and analytical analyses were performed at the European Bioenergy Research Institute. - Supercritical water gasification of eucalyptus wood chips was performed with and without the heterogenous catalyst previously synthetized; - Experimental tests were carried out in a batch reactor at different conditions of temperature, amount of catalyst and residence time; -The gases formed were identified and quantified by GC-TCD/FID; - A semi-quantitative analysis of each the organic fraction (bio-oil) was carried out by GC-MS Show less
