Recuperação de resíduos de embalagens cartonadas através da pirólise: um estudo bibliométrico

Abstract

Bibliometric analysis is a method that possible to quantitatively evaluate academic production through the analysis of existing documents. This article aimed to analyze the characteristics of publications related to the theme of carton packages waste recovery through pyrolysis. The research was carried out in the Web of Science (WOS) database of Clarivate Analytics. Initially, a search was made for articles that contain the word “Pyrolysis” in its topic, subsequently the articles were refined by adding the term “Carton Packages” and “Tetra Pak”. To perform the analyzes, the tool “Analyze results” was used provided by the Web of Science (WOS), allowing to generate information related to the number of publications, countries, research areas and types of publications, in addition to the VOSviewer and CiteSpace software enabling the creation of networks for organization co-authorship, country co-authorship, author co-authorship, reference co-citation, journal co-citation and keyword co-occurrence and finally, a SWOT Matrix (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) was performed. From the term “Pyrolysis” 101.368 publications were found, 8.974 of which were in the last year. Among the countries with the largest number of publications on the topic can highlight China and the United States. Adding the terms “Carton Packages” and “Tetra Pak”, 23 publications were found, the largest number being found in the year 2018. In addition, Brazil is the country with the largest number of publications. This shows that in recent years, numerous researches have been carried out on the theme carton packages waste recovery through Pyrolysis, with the objective of improving the efficiency of the processes and allowing expanding the production scales. The increase in interest is due to the need to search solutions to reduce the environmental impact and management of solid waste, caused by its inadequate disposal. Furthermore to the economic point of view, enabling the generation of products with high added value.

A mini-review on the use of waste in the production of sustainable Portland cement composites

“…Each node represents an author, and the lines and distances reflect the relationship between them. The distance between two nodes indicates the strength of the relationship, which means that when two nodes are closer together, they tend to have a strong relationship ( Mantegazini et al, 2020 ). Figure 4 is divided into three clusters and highlighted by the researcher Gonzalo Martinez-Barrera, having a total of four documents used in this research.…”

“…The recovery of residues from Tetra Pak packaging is an alternative used to reduce the environmental impact resulting from the inadequate disposal of these modern residues in landfills. In addition, recycling allows the recovery of high value-added materials and reduces the amount of energy used in the extraction of aluminium from bauxite ore (Mantegazini et al, 2020). Each type of academic network has its use and can bring a variety of perspectives to the study of research interactions and academic communications.…”
