Thermal catalytic cracking of buriti oil (Mauritia flexuosa L.) over LaSBA-15 mesoporous materials

Fuel Processing Technology, 2011
Abstract In order to obtain a fuel with properties similar to diesel, the thermal catalytic cracking (TCC) of buriti oil was accomplished over LaSBA-15 mesoporous materials. In function of the Lewis acid sites and the unidirectional pore system of the LaSBA-15, this material presented good deoxygenating activity for TCC of the oil, resulting in a ...

Fingerprint Analysis of Buriti (Mauritia flexuosa) Using Paper Spray Mass Spectrometry. [PDF]

J Mass Spectrom
ABSTRACT A straightforward and efficient approach using paper spray ionization mass spectrometry (PS‐MS) was employed to detect fixed constituents in all anatomical parts of buriti, a native Brazilian fruit. This ambient mass spectrometry technique requires minimal sample preparation and was applied in both positive and negative ion modes. In total, 61
