Automated Bibliometrics
Application of bibliometrics and knowledge mining to support technical requirements for reusing ornamental stone processing residues.
Automated bibliometrics and reuse of ornamental stone residues
This project (2019–2021) investigated automated bibliometrics and artificial intelligence techniques for organizing scientific, technical, and regulatory knowledge on residues from ornamental stone processing in Espírito Santo, Brazil.
The proposal considered whether processing sludge could be used as a material input in ceramic manufacturing. Such applications require evidence on material characterization, treatment, industrial uses, and environmental licensing requirements, while distinguishing industrial waste from potential coproducts under the relevant legal and technical criteria.
The research proposed examining academic literature, technical documents, standards, and patents to inform requirements and a possible technical regulatory proposal concerning the handling and storage of these materials. Available sources do not establish that a regulation was enacted or that industrial operations were licensed as a result of the project.
Historical project documentation records support from FAPES. An earlier estimate of annual sludge generation was omitted because its source and reference period were not established.
