Abstract: Background: The ceramic industry demand a high amount of heat, or thermal energy to perform its process. In this system, the kiln is the main responsible in this matter. The equipment consumes around half of the fuel used in the wet grind process. Due to this, the energy efficiency in the sector depends on the efficiency of this process.. (10)
Materials and Methods: This bibliometric study evaluate what is being researched about efficiency in ceramic kilns. It was used the site Periódicos CAPES, witch concatenate many databases to look for articles. To narrow down the search key words.it was used the advanced research tool inserting a sequence of words and evaluating the number of results. The....
