“…WoS is the first broad-scope international bibliographic database and was previously known as Web of Knowledge and established by Eugene Garfield during the 1960s; and then later, in 1992, the Thompson Reuters company acquired it and changed its name to WoS. Since 2016, WoS has belonged to the Clarivate Company [ 57 , 58 ]. It is used for the selection of journals, evaluation of research articles, bibliometric analysis, and other tasks.…”

Due to their simple synthesis method and excellent properties, such as superior adsorption and regeneration capabilities, with a large surface area and tunable pores, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a suitable option for wastewater treatment. Although an exponential growth in MOF literature has been observed in recent years, conducting a quantitative literature analysis of MOF application in wastewater treatment is a novelty. To fill this gap, a total of 1187 relevant publications were extracted from the Web of Science, published during the last 50 years, and analyzed using bibliometric and content analysis techniques. A bibliometric analysis was conducted to reveal growing publication trends, leading journals, prolific countries, and organizations; whereas, a content analysis was used to highlight key research themes and hot topics in this field. The analyses revealed that there is a strong international collaboration among authors, countries, and organizations. Chemical Engineering Journal, Journal of Hazardous Materials, and Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering are the most prolific journals in this field. Furthermore, the use of MOFs for removing antibiotics from wastewater was identified as a recent hot topic. In addition, performance enhancements of MOFs, in terms of a higher adsorption capacity and water stability, were identified as topics of great interest. To cater to these issues, the application of graphene, graphene oxides, nanoparticles, and quantum dots was also observed in the research fronts in this field.

“…It is done by removing salt as well as other mineral components from seawater. There are many types of desalination process, but among all of these processes, the desalination technologies used in industrial scale are Reverse Osmosis (RO), Multi Effect Distillation (MED), and Multi Stage Flash Distillation (MSFD) (Naseer et al, 2022). Despite its significant advantages in converting seawater into clean water, desalination technology is still perceived as financially burdensome (Lin et al, 2021;Mohammadi et al, 2020).…”

Activated carbon or activated charcoal is one of the best materials that can be used as a constituent of CDI electrodes, not only because of its various advantageous properties but also because it can be sourced abundantly from plant waste. This research aims to determine the effect of the thickness of the candlenut shell activated charcoal electrode and the particle size of the activated carbon used on the capacitive deionization (CDI) performance in seawater desalination. Candlenut shell-based activated charcoal is obtained in three stages, namely preparation, carbonization, and activation. The carbonization stage was done by using a pyrolysis reactor at a temperature of 400°C for 8 hours. The activation was done with the activator of H3PO4 67%. The variation of thickness was 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, and 15 mm while the variation of particle size was 60 mesh, 80 mesh, 100 mesh, and 200 mesh. The results showed that the higher capacitance was obtained with the thinner electrodes, where the best value was the thinnest electrode, 6 mm, which produced the highest capacitance, 122.96 nF. For the desalination of seawater, it is shown that the finest particle/smallest particle size will result in the best desalination performance, where 200 mesh particle size will result in the decrease of salinity from 34% to 4%. That is 88.23% decrease in salinity. Therefore, the using of candlenut shell-based activated carbon as the electrode in CDI is proven to be able to obtain good performance in seawater desalination.

Simulation and Optimization of Renewable Energy-Powered Desalination: A Bibliometric Analysis and Highlights of Recent Research

Seawater desalination is emerging as one of the preferred systems for dealing with the problems of freshwater scarcity, which makes it necessary to redouble efforts to obtain an optimal and competent production process. For this reason, the coupling of water desalination and renewable energy systems is not surprising. This study applied a bibliometric analysis to evaluate the research trends on desalination systems and renewable energies from an engineering approach using optimizations or simulation techniques. The Scopus database was used for this study, selecting articles published between 2009 and 2022. A general analysis was carried out regarding trends in the number of articles produced, number of citations, subject area, journals, countries, institutes, and authors. Further, a more specific analysis was then performed in terms of renewable energy technologies used and preferred optimization/simulation methods and software used. The results also revealed that the field is growing, based on the number of articles published and the increase in citations. On the other hand, it was found that the most studied renewable energies, in coupling with desalination systems and from an optimization/simulation approach, are solar and wind.
