Abstract: The present invention addresses to a CO2/CH4 separation process using enzyme carbonic anhydrase, by means of a system with contactor membranes and a vessel containing absorbent liquids that have high salinity, which maintains a specific pH range to promote the formation of carbonate salts, in a way integrated into the CO2 capture process. Such a process results in a more efficient separation with conversion of CO2 into products with greater added value or, alternatively, sequestering CO2 more permanently, thus avoiding its emission into the atmosphere. The present invention is applied to natural gas streams with CO2 contents, more particularly in offshore oil fields or onshore natural gas processing units, as well as biogas streams.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a working assembly for a painting system, containing a mobile platform and a crank and slider-type oscillating mechanism, which reproduces movements transmitted to a shaft and that guides a paint gun, mimicking the process performed by painters. Thus, the mobile platform and the oscillating mechanism were designed to move unidirectionally over the surface, being able to move in two orthogonal directions and also to rotate in order to keep the platform level.

Abstract: Naphthenate deposition is formed from tetraprotic naphthenic acids having aliphatic chains and high molecular weight, provided with four carboxylic terminations, sometimes called ARN acids. Obtaining these species from their matrix of origin requires the prior use of sample preparation methods aiming at an efficient extraction of naphthenic acids. Obtaining ARN acids from naphthenate deposits is advantageous in the potential for reusing waste and reducing environmental damage. The process also adds value to waste materials from the oil production and exploration process.
The present invention relates to the field of laboratory-scale sample preparation, which describes a methodology for the specific isolation of tetraprotic naphthenic acids, called ARN acids, from residual naphthenate deposits from petroleum production.
The method consists of cleaning the naphthenate deposit, converting the naphthenate salts to naphthenic acids and isolating the ARN acids from the other organic acids, using a silica-based sorbent material with aminopropyl functional groups, previously selected for an efficient elution of different functional groups and polarities.
The results of ESI(−)-FT-ICR MS showed that the methodology is promising because it provided an excellent separation by difference in polarity and as a function of different molecular weight ranges, thus reducing the complexity of the organic acid extract obtained from the naphthenate deposit. Furthermore, it allowed the separation of the different acidic species that were present in the sample. The results of ESI(−)-FT-ICR MS also indicated that one of the fractions concentrated into ARN acids, including discharged species and especially ARN acids in the form of monocharged ions. The ESI(−)-Orbitrap MS data corroborated those obtained by ES(−)-FT-ICR MS, making consistent the statement that the extract obtained from the naphthenate deposit contains a mixture of acids and that the fractionation developed provided the isolation of ARN acids from naphthenate deposits. Furthermore, the integrations of the 1H NMR spectra of acidic fractions as a function of molecular weight highlighted the expressive presence of alkyl compounds and absence of aromatic hydrogens in the fraction of interest.-

Abstract: The present invention describes a process for producing nanostructured material, produced from polymer waste doped with alkaline metals and/or alkaline earth metals, which is capable of capturing and storing CO2. The process for obtaining the material uses waste generated by the polymer industry and is therefore environmentally sustainable. The product produced, that is, the nanostructured material, shows high CO2 absorption capacity, being able to absorb up to 80% by weight in mass in CO2. In addition, the product produced shows low density, an important characteristic for application in vehicles. Therefore, the product obtained can be used for capturing and storing CO2 emitted by different emission sources, mainly mobile sources such as vehicles, but can also be used in industries such as the mining industry, oil industry, inter alia, in addition to the automotive industry.

Abstract: The present invention describes a method for refining highly polyaromatic and nitrogenated charges, such as LCO streams, comprising hydrotreating (HDT) as the first reaction stage, followed by the intermediate separation of gases generated in the HDT section, then by a second reaction stage consisting in moderate hydroconversion/hydrocracking and in a rectifying and/or fractionating section, thus allowing more flexible production of fuels. In the rectification mode, the claimed method yields a diesel oil fraction with higher cetane content, reduced density and volumetric yield increase of at least 111% relative to the process charge, thus minimising yield losses through naphtha overcracking and contributing to the optimisation of the required hydrogen consumption. In the fractionating mode, different cuts and their compositions can be produced, such as naphtha, kerosene and diesel.
