VOSviewer, pellet boilers, literature reviewAbstract
The research focuses on the implementation of a bibliometric network visualization software called VOSviewer, where the records obtained in the scientific literature are processed, identifying the recent advances in small-scale biomass boilers (case study: pellets), applying a methodology in network analysis and monitoring of databases, developing networks with keywords, co-authorship and bibliographic coupling, graphs that allow trends to be visualized and highlight the behavior of the academic community on a given topic. The most relevant authors recommend the addition of kaolin in biomass, being able to reduce polluting emissions. Also, they highlight the implementation of technologies that control the flow of primary and secondary air in combustion, resulting in an improvement in efficiency, all this, with the continuous extraction of ashes without having to stop or affect the combustion process and the use filters for particulate matter.
