Use of biodegradable polymer for development of environmental tracers: a bibliometric review

Abstract

Qualitative and quantitative measuring in water bodies, nuclear medicine, agriculture, and world oil production use tracers to monitor, evaluate and continuously improve their processes. The bibliometric information about the past and the future of artificial tracers, to monitor surface and groundwater by using sustainable biodegradable materials it will be important for future generation. To fulfil this purpose, bibliometric literature analysis has been considered as a solution to identify research areas that need to be improved. The results of this paper showed that even with the increase in research in biopolymers, and the use of artificial tracers, academic development is still not significant. The United States, China, and Germany are the top publishers in this field however, there is no country that constantly develops research in these areas concomitantly using biodegradable polymers. Because of that, this field could be further explored, globally using innovative techniques and materials for new tracers.

Control de filtrado de fluidos de perforación petrolero de bajo impacto ambiental mediante el uso de almidón de yuca

“…Para que los fluidos de perforación presenten un mínimo de filtración posible y se reduzca la invasión hacia la formación, se debe considerar que la tasa de filtración depende de la capacidad que tiene el fluido para formar el revoque en las secciones del pozo, por lo que es necesario añadir aditivos que mantengan las funciones del fluido de perforación, lo que permite el control efectiva de las pérdida del mismo por filtración [9,10].…”
