Avaliação de sustentabilidade para estações de tratamento de esgoto: uma revisão bibliométrica

Abstract

The 2030 Agenda adopted as one of its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): "ensuring the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all". This is a claim that requires the involvement of actors, managers, researchers, private sector, and civil society. Science can be engaged in this agenda through the production of knowledge and subsidies to managers. The present study aims to perform a bibliometric analysis of publications related to sustainability in the treatment of effluents from 2015 to 2020. For this, the Scopus database was used, seeking to characterize the publications with the themes “sustainability”, “wastewater treatment” and “assessment”, considering the quantity, year, main authors, magazines, main countries, keywords and main articles. The study identified an increasing number of publications on the topic and some important methodologies such as Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and Multicriteria Analysis. In addition, it was concluded that, although there are several publications on the subject, in some articles and methodologies, not all pillars of sustainability are addressed.
