A Thermo-Catalytic Pyrolysis of Polystyrene Waste Review: A Systematic, Statistical, and Bibliometric Approach

Leer artículo

 

 

Global polystyrene (PS) production has been influenced by the lightness and heat resistance this material offers in different applications, such as construction and packaging. However, population growth and the lack of PS recycling lead to a large waste generation, affecting the environment. Pyrolysis has been recognized as an effective recycling method, converting PS waste into valuable products in the chemical industry. The present work addresses a systematic, bibliometric, and statistical analysis of results carried out from 2015 to 2022, making an extensive critique of the most influential operation parameters in the thermo-catalytic pyrolysis of PS and its waste. The systematic study showed that the conversion of PS into a liquid with high aromatic content (84.75% of styrene) can be achieved by pyrolysis. Discussion of PS as fuel is described compared to commercial fuels. In addition, PS favors the production of liquid fuel when subjected to co-pyrolysis with biomass, improving its properties such as viscosity and energy content. A statistical analysis of the data compilation was also discussed, evaluating the influence of temperature, reactor design, and catalysts on product yield.

Leer artículo

 

 

Faced with contemporary dynamic, it is important to assess the scenario and assumptions of the organizations in the budget process for the continuity of the entity. Several scientific studies have attempted to analyze this theme, however, they present a gap in the sample specifically involving the postgraduate studies in the stricto sensu. Thus, this article aimed to analyze the current bibliometric profile of Brazilian scientific production on the budget topic, using the CAPES Bank of Theses and Dissertations as a data source. This work is characterized as a descriptive research and uses the quantitative approach to measure, through bibliometric analysis, characteristics of academic production on the theme Budget in the stricto sensu courses from 2012 to 2018. This work contributes to the accounting literature by filling the existing gap and analyzing a sample that has been responsible for the growth of Brazilian scientific production. The analysis of the 48 productions sought to identify aspects methodological and content, in addition to the level of production by institution. The results show: the southeast region as the most prolific; predominance of the quantitative approach and thematic area aimed at public administration; majority use of survey and archive/documentary methods; predominant use of national literature as a reference; and topic approach on the interviewees’ perception of the budget process or evaluation of aspects related to management, such as budget efficiency and execution. There was also an increase in the average annual production in the period analyzed for periods previously studied.

The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) emerged in the world in the 1950s and in Brazil from the 1980s onto the 1980s. It assumes that companies have direct responsibility for the impacts on society and have a duty to work together for balanced development. This study had as general objective to analyze the evolution of scientific production in the area of Corporate Social Responsibility, specifically in the areas of Applied Social Sciences, present in the Scopus database and produce bibliometric indicators, as well as to analyze the interdisciplinarity of CSR among other areas, in the time space from 2000 to 2019. Through bibliographical research it was possible to observe a great change in the conception by individuals and organizations, in principle the bias of CSR was seen only as philanthropy, the changes went beyond what the organization could gain from the inclusion of CSR. The bibliometric research demonstrated the evolution of studies on CSR in the 21st century, where an average growth of 31% was observed, from 18 publications in 2000 to 1,491 in 2019, it was also observed that when analyzing the impact of publications and keywords, it was found that 21% of the most cited studies deal with issues related to Stakeholder Theory. In general, this study exposed the macro profile of scientific production on CSR, the theme studied remains evolving and in the process of consolidation given the number of theories existing within CSR.
