Prof. Dr. Nelson Rubens Nascimento Del’Antonio | Environmental Engineering | Best Researcher Award

Federal Institute of Education | Brazil

Prof. Dr. Nelson Rubens Nascimento Del’Antonio’s research focuses on environmental engineering with emphasis on water treatment, effluent management, and pulp and paper industry sustainability. His studies contribute significantly to improving industrial wastewater quality through the application of activated carbon and sequencing batch reactors in treating kraft pulp mill effluents. Nelson’s work explores the reduction of chronic toxicity and estrogenicity in pulp mill discharges, promoting environmentally safer industrial practices. His investigations into the influence of process variables—such as acid leaching of wood chips and maintenance shutdowns—highlight the relationship between production efficiency and environmental performance. Through multiple collaborations with experts like Cláudio Mudadu Silva and Jorge Luiz Colodette, Nelson integrates applied chemistry, hydrology, and industrial ecology to enhance effluent biodegradability and optimize pulp bleaching processes. His scholarly output in leading journals such as Chemosphere, Nordic Pulp & Paper Research Journal, and International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology demonstrates technical depth and practical impact in environmental sustainability. In addition to his research, Nelson’s professional experience includes teaching and technical leadership roles in environmental regulation, hydrological management, and industrial sanitation, providing him a holistic understanding of environmental systems and policy frameworks. His academic trajectory reflects a continuous commitment to developing eco-efficient technologies and advancing environmental quality standards within the forest-based and manufacturing sectors. Nelson Rubens Nascimento Del’Antonio has achieved substantial recognition through his multidisciplinary approach, integrating science, engineering, and environmental management to contribute toward sustainable industrial development and improved water resource protection.
