INTEGRATION OF EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING: INNOVATIVE PERSPECTIVES FOR EFFICIENCY AND SUSTAINABILITY IN INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES

Abstract

A documentary review was carried out on the production and publication of research papers related to the study of the variables Emerging Technologies, Chemical Engineering and Industrial Processes. The purpose of the bibliometric analysis proposed in this document was to know the main characteristics of the volume of publications registered in the Scopus database during the period 2018-2023 with respect to the study of the aforementioned variables, achieving the identification of 78 publications in total. The information provided by this platform was organized through graphs and figures categorizing the information by Year of Publication, Country of Origin, Area of Knowledge and Type of Publication. Once these characteristics have been described, the position of different authors regarding the proposed theme is referenced through a qualitative analysis. Among the main findings made through this research, it is found that China, with 17 publications, was the country with the highest scientific production registered in the name of authors affiliated with institutions in that nation. The Area of Knowledge that made the greatest contribution to the construction of bibliographic material related to the study of Emerging Technologies, Chemical Engineering and Industrial Processes was Chemical Engineering with 29 published documents, and the Type of Publication that was most used during the period indicated above was the Review Article, which represents 54% of the total scientific production.
