Tecnologias aplicáveis ao tratamento de resíduos sólidos

Abstract

In the last decades the solid waste produced was three times bigger than the population growth and a large part does not receive adequate treatment, in view of this problem, the main steps in which the methods and techniques used in treatment of solid waste through the scientific, technological and market prospecting. The systematic review of literature was carried out in the Scopus (Elsevier) and BDTD database, in the bibliometrics the information was arranged according to institution, area of knowledge to which work belongs, year of publication, place of publication and, for finally, publication type and bibliographic portfolio were configured by technology and year. The state of the art was arranged with information from the systematic review of the literature. As for the market analysis, research was carried out in catalogs and manuals available on the websites of companies that produce and/or sell these technologies. For the preparation of the technological portfolio, patents made available by INPI were used. The bibliometric results pointed out as the most prominent authors on the subject: Kumar, S., Aquino L., Monteiro Filho, A. and Teixeira, A. In relation to the areas of knowledge of the scientific publications researched, we have: engineering, energy and environmental sciences, the years of greatest publications were between 2016 and 2018 and the most representative researches are theses and dissertations. The treatments frequently used are composting, anaerobic digestion and vermicomposting because they are economically viable technologies and have a greater availability of inputs and equipment for use, at the same time, the treatment technology with less demand is plasma since the costs for installation, operation and maintenance are exorbitant.
