Waste From Pruning Of Azadirachta Indica: Literature Review

The Azadirachta Indica is a plant of the Meliaceae family, species originating in Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent, commonly used in several Brazilian municipalities for afforestation. The rising generation of municipal waste requires that there are alternatives to circumvent/ minimize environmental problems. One of the possibilities to circumvent this problem is the reuse of solid waste from the pruning of trees as biomass for power generation, where through the briquetting, you can compress the waste and transform them into a renewable energy source. It developed the present bibliographical research with the objective of analyzing in official documents, books, theses, dissertations, in addition to articles published in scientific journals, in the interval of time 1983-2018, the concepts of the Azadirachta Indica, for both addressed the following themes: Solid Waste, Biomass, Pruning of Trees, Azadirachta Indica and Briquettes. In the face of the information submitted, it can be said that the process of pruning of the Azadirachta Indica generates residue and the improper disposal of these causes environmental pollution, and the production of biofuel solid, in the form of briquettes, a viable alternative to the reutilization of biomass, considering a practice that encompasses three pillars: environmental, economic and social development.
