Abstract
The calcium looping reaction ( CaL ) is a reversible reaction between CaO and CO2, this reaction is an promising method for the removal of CO2 from exhaust gases, due to the low energy penalties imposed on power plants. Current studies indicate the CaL process is being inserted to improve syngas, to increase energy content of fuel gases, therefore its study is necessary worldwide. However, little is known about Brazil's participation in this research area. The objective of the article is to carry out a bibliometric review, to observe the role and position of Brazil in this research area. For that the database “scopus” was used and connectors and keywords were used, such as: “Calcium Looping” OR “Ca Looping” AND “Fluidized bed” AND “Reactor design”. The results indicate that in the last 5 years (2019-2023), 20 articles have been published, and the three countries that most published were: China, United States and Germany. Although the subject CaL is a current topic, articles considering reactor design are restricted. The annual average of publications is 3 articles, and the impact of articles measured by their citations, indicate that they have an average of 13 citations per year. For the other side, that reactor design began to have more impact from 2020, because its was associated with issues such as: 1) the use of heat stores for solar energy and 2) calcium looping processes associated with the use of biomass for energy improvement of fuel gases using biomass. Although the study of calcium looping is associated with the use of biomass in the energy sector and considering the potential of Brazil in the use of biomass, it has no publications about it yet, being a field to be greatly explored in the coming years.
