Global research trends in petrochemical wastewater treatment from 2000 to 2021

Abstract

Petrochemical wastewater (PWW) is a huge industrial contaminant that generates a wide range of resistive and poisonous organic pollutants that harm animals and plants in natural water bodies when discharged untreated or partially treated. Therefore, it is vital to develop technologies that are simple, e cient, and pro table for the treatment of oily wastewater. Although, much study has been undertaken on the treatment of PWW, there hasn't been any recent work on bibliometrics analysis of global research trends on this issue. A bibliometric analysis will help current and future researchers gure out where the gaps are and how to ll them. The present study's focus is to examine the characteristics and trends of research on oily wastewater treatment with an emphasis on the treatment of PWW. This research was performed on ve important aspects, including characterization of research publications; countries' performances and collaborations; an analysis of the best papers with the most citations; keyword analysis (including frequency distribution of the keyword analysis; the transformation of the keyword combination across time; and exploration of changes in rank over time); and journal analysis, according to the 2457 papers in the Science Citation Index Expanded using the Web of Science (WoS) database from 2000 to 2021. For further analysis, the contingency matrix, bump diagram, and inter-temporal network stream were employed.

Magnetic activated carbon derived from pine fruit waste: efficient adsorbent for tetracycline (TC) and paracetamol (PC) removal from aqueous solution

“…Population growth and rapid industrialization of societies are serious problems of pollution all over the world 1 . Soil and water are directly affected by the sewage of different sectors such as chemical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, food and petrochemical industries, which creates severe risks for the environment [2][3][4][5][6][7] . Among the newly emerging pollutants, we can mention the pharmaceutical residues that are constantly released in the hospital wastewater environment 8 .…”
