ABSTRACT

Biogas, a by-product of effluent treatment, is increasingly no longer seen as a passive, taking on the role of an asset. This work carried out a bibliometric study of the world production of biogas from domestic wastewater, focusing on the evolution of knowledge over the decades. For this purpose, a search for scientific articles was carried out in the Scopus database and, from the documents obtained, a review of literature was developed to access information and reveal quantification patterns. The analysis of the graphs and networks generated proved efficient in the exploratory study of the scientific and technological evolution of biogas from domestic sewage, making it possible to observe a highlight for the recovery of dissolved methane, as well as for the gains in reducing emissions of GHG from biogas reuse, in addition to the focus on nutrient and energy recovery, which underscores the importance of anaerobic processes for obtaining energy and nutrient conservation, as well as their potential contribution to achieving the goals related to the Sustainable Development Goals.
