Biography

 Prof. Dr. Eder Claudio Lima is an Associate Professor from the Institute of Chemistry of Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil. He has been working with removal of toxic compounds from aqueous effluents, using the most varied kind of adsorbents. Now his research group's is broadly focused on use of biomass in native form and/or chemically modified for removal of toxic species from industrial effluents; also the development of new adsorbent materials such as: organo-functionalized silica and silicates; celluloses; carbon nanotubes and production of new activated carbons derived from renewable sources. His projects have traditionally been centered around aspects of adsorption mechanisms based on different analytical techniques, such as FTIR, TGA, SEM, etc. In addition, computational simulation is used to help the elucidation of adsorption mechanism. Also, the kinetics of adsorption is studied based on new kinetic adsorption models that were recently published. He has coauthored and published many research articles in various prestigious scientific journals.
