Smart fluids are complex fluids that exhibit a change in their rheological properties upon the application of an external stimulus, which can be light, heat, electric field or magnetic field. Among them, electrorheological fluids and magnetorheological fluids are at the forefront of advance applications, such as soft robotics, fluidic valves, clutches, cleaning oil spills, etc. The success of these applications will rely fundamentally on the precise knowledge of the rheological properties of the smart fluids. However, […]

Student Seminar in Chemical Engineering (DEQ-FEUP)
Treatment of septicaemia is threatened by the bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Nucleic acid mimics (NAMs) able to inhibit bacterial genes are emerging as an alternative to traditional antibiotics. However, NAMs cannot passively permeate the multi-layered bacterial envelope. Therefore, liposomes were considered as possible carriers to facilitate the internalization of NAMs in bacteria. Locked nucleic acids (LNA) and 2´-OMethylRNA (2´OMe) were evaluated as model NAMs and formulated into DOTAP-DOPE liposomes, forming lipoplexes. To improve the colloidal stability of the lipoplexes, EGylated lipids […]
Yaidelin Manrique, Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM | November 28, 2019 – 17h00 | FEUP Sala B020 The supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) has an enormous interest; in this region, the physical properties promote the separation, the density is similar to the liquid, and the viscosity is in the same order of magnitude of that of gases. The supercritical fluid is widely used to extract solutes from the interior of solid matrices, and also for counter-current extraction of a liquid stream.
Cork corresponds to the bark of the cork oak (Quercus Suber L.), a hundred percent natural plant tissue, that is composed, in […]
A primeira edição do curso de educação contínua Tecnologia de Tintas e Revestimentos, que teve lugar no DEQ em setembro de 2019, foi divulgada pela BASF – a maior empresa química do mundo – como uma iniciativa de sucesso. Este curso foi uma ação conjunta do DEQ e da BASF, com a colaboração de quatro empresas de tintas: Arga, Barbot, CIN e Tintas 2000. O público alvo foram estudantes de Engenharia Química interessados em complementar a sua formação, adquirindo competências numa área relevante do contexto industrial Português, e profissionais que procuram aprofundar conhecimentos relevantes para o seu trabalho.
O DEQ tenciona […]
Nuno Garrido nasceu em São Pedro do Sul. A paixão pela Engenharia Química guiou-o até à FEUP onde acabou por se licenciar na área e por tirar um Doutoramento em Simulação Molecular, que lhe proporcionou experiências internacionais pela Europa, nos Estados Unidos e no Médio Oriente. Em 2011 chegou à Galp, onde desempenhou funções das áreas técnicas da refinação, funções de gestão e atualmente de liderança do projeto de transformação digital. Movido pelo desafio na vida profissional e pessoal, o Nuno é um fervoroso adepto do trekking e um dedicado pianista.
Elena Gómez Costas, Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM | November 21, 2019 – 17h00 | FEUP Sala B020 Flavonoids are components present on fruits and vegetables, which have several pharmacological properties, including anti-tumor, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, among others. The extraction and separation of flavonoids from natural products is, therefore, important to their future applications.
The conventional processes used in the extraction of flavonoids include techniques as solid-liquid, liquid-liquid or supercritical fluid extraction, the main process to obtain flavonoids for biotechnological applications is hydroalcoholic extraction, using different solvents such as methanol or ethanol, being the yield and purity low, and the consumption of solvents […]
Isabel Maria Martins, Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM | November 07, 2019 – 16h30 | FEUP Sala B024 The use of emergent technologies, such as microencapsulation, adds important gains and introduces new features and innovative properties in the products. The use of this methodology provides an important tool for several industries, enabling protection and controlled release of several active ingredients. The encapsulation of essential oils in a core-shell material or matrix has been investigated for various reasons, such as, protection from oxidative decomposition, evaporation or simply to support them. A large number of methods have been suggested for microcapsule’s production, in […]
A 6ª edição do Festival Aquaporto – ‘Planeta Água’ decorreu no Parque da Cidade do Porto entre entre os dias 11 e 13 outubro e contou com mais de 10 000 visitantes.
O Departamento de Engenharia Química da FEUP esteve presente com algumas demonstrações para ajudar a comunicar sobre : monitorização e processos de tratamento de águas.
