Abstract:
The construction sector is the largest consumer of natural resources, generating waste that pollutes soil and water. The cement industry is responsible for significant CO₂ emissions. Substituting components with solid waste, such as agroindustrial waste, in mortar, stands out as a promising alternative to mitigate environmental impacts. The use of ash derived from these wastes as a pozzolanic material can improve properties and reduce the extraction of raw materials. The article aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis regarding the use of ash from agroindustrial waste as a pozzolanic agent in cement-based materials. When analyzing the records by year, stability is observed until 2017, with six publications or less each year. From 2018 onwards, there has been a significant increase in the number of publications on the subject, especially in 2022, with 35 publications, indicating a growing interest in the topic. India leads the countries with the most publications, with 55 records, followed by Malaysia and Nigeria, with 23 and 12 records, respectively. Despite being an agricultural powerhouse and having a growing cement industry, Brazil has limited presence in bibliographic production on the subject.
