APRESENTAÇÃO

Prezados Colegas,

O Congresso Brasileiro de Engenharia Química – COBEQ é o evento de maior relevância nacional em Engenharia Química. Estabelece bianualmente um ambiente de encontro para profissionais da academia e indústria apresentarem e discutirem temáticas proeminentes e atuais, relacionadas à pesquisa e aplicação da engenharia química no Brasil e no mundo.

Em 2018, o COBEQ volta ao seu local de origem, onde a primeira e a segunda edição do congresso foram realizadas: São Paulo, capital do estado e berço da industrialização brasileira. Além disto, assim como na primeira e segunda edição do evento, realizadas em 1976 e 1977, o COBEQ 2018 será organizado pelo Departamento de Engenharia Química da Escola Politécnica da USP, um dos cursos pioneiros de engenharia química no Brasil, criado em 1925.

As temáticas educacionais são objeto de outro evento integrado ao COBEQ, o ENBEQ – Encontro Brasileiro sobre o Ensino de Engenharia Química, que propicia uma rica troca de experiências sobre formação no âmbito da graduação e pós-graduação, envolvendo instituições de ensino públicas e privadas. O ENBEQ foi importante para estabelecer o formato atual dos cursos no país e, em anos recentes, tem induzido mecanismos de melhoria contínua na formação dos engenheiros químicos.

O COBEQ e o ENBEQ são realizações da Associação Brasileira de Engenharia Química – ABEQ, entidade de abrangência nacional que congrega profissionais da academia e da indústria.

Na edição de 2018, o 22º COBEQ será realizado 23 a 26 de setembro no Hotel Maksoud Plaza, enquanto o 17º ENBEQ terá lugar dias 27 e 28 na Universidade de São Paulo.

Esperamos contar novamente com a participação de todos!!!

Comissão científica por área temática

CONVIDADOS INTERNACIONAIS

Agilio Padua

I am a distinguished professor of physical chemistry at Université Clermont Auvergne and a senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France.

The central concept of my research is that of designer liquid: a solvent, a reaction or separation medium, an electrolyte, a lubricant, etc. that is tailored in view of specific properties. I follow a materials-science approach: starting from an understanding of the molecular interactions and ordering at a fundamental level, I seek to establish structure-property relations enabling a rational design for applications in sustainable chemical processes and in devices.

I have authored over 130 papers that were cited more than 8000 times in the literature (h-index 45). One of my papers was cited more than 1000 times, four more than 400 times and thirteen more than 100 times. I work in the Molecular Thermodynamics of Ionic Liquids group, a collaborative team within the Institute of Chemistry of Clermont-Ferrand, a research unit of the CNRS and the University of Clermont Auvergne. During the 2014-15 academic year I was a visiting scholar at MIT’s Department of Chemical Engineering. My research in collaboration with the Blankschtein group is about exfoliation of two-dimensional nanomaterials. I am an editor of The Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics.

I founded and headed the CNRS Network (Groupement de Recherches) on Molecular and Process Thermodynamics that brings together 30 research groups in France on this discipline between physical chemistry and chemical engineering.
