Estudo cienciométrico sobre os tipo de abordagem na publicaçoes sobre o tratamento dos efluentes no Brasil

Abstract

Planet Earth has two thirds of its surface occupied by water, considered the universal solvent of the biosphere. In order to preserve the condition of drinking water, care must be taken with disposal into the environment, especially effluents, since the sewage that is discharged results in water and soil contamination. The aim of this study was to verify global trends in knowledge about different types of approaches in publications on effluent treatments in Brazil that guarantee the quality of effluents returned to the environment. For this, documents prepared between the period 2015 - 2021 were considered, based on a survey carried out in Scielo, for the construction of the database. Of 318 articles were found and 38 were selected, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. It was observed that scientific production fluctuates in the period, that the regions of greatest production were the Southeast and South, and that the main approach found in the publications was on the production of sludge, its disposal and how it can be used in other zone.
