Abstract

This study presents a brief bibliometric investigation of thermogravimetric pyrolysis of carnauba biomass ( Copernicia prunifera ), a palm tree native to northeastern Brazil belonging to the Arecaceae family. The objective was to analyze the scientific production and methods used to evaluate the kinetic parameters of biomass pyrolysis. An analysis was conducted using the Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science databases, and VOSviewer and Bibliometrix software. The methodology allows the generation of clusters and tables of scientific production, including authors, co-authors, affiliations, institutions, journals, and keywords. The search yielded 1983 articles, and after the application of exclusion criteria, 919 articles were retained, forming the basis for the bibliometric analysis. It provided an overview of thermogravimetric pyrolysis of carnauba research and identified areas that require further study. It also identified which universities and researchers have devoted the most effort to this area of research, the key findings, and areas that require further investment to complement existing research. Additionally, the study indicated the suitability of the Friedman method for determining kinetic parameters in biomass pyrolysis.
