“…Two to five authors accounted for 19811 articles (75.2 %) and 848 articles (3.2 %) had one author, and the maximum number of authors per article was 31 [which was published on corrosion science named ''effect of the marine environment on reinforced concrete durability in Iberoamerican countries: DURACON project/ CYTED'' (Trocónis De Rincón et al 2007)]. The 26,330 articles contained a total of 208,848 pages, and the maximum number of pages per article was 98 [which was a review of the research literature published in 2010 dealing with physico-chemical processes used for water and wastewater treatment (Afzal et al 2011)], and the minimum number was one. Six to eight pages (12,212; 46.4 %) were the most frequent number of pages (Table 1).…”

“…Therefore, more efficient and cost-saving wastewater treatment technologies are vital to satisfy the ever-increasing requirements of human beings. Generally, wastewater treatment is carried out by the conventional wastewater treatment process (Grady Jr et al 2011;Afzal et al 2011), such as, physicalchemical methods and biological methods. However, it is difficult to degrade the complex refractory organic pollutant in the wastewater by biological methods.…”

“…However, it is difficult to degrade the complex refractory organic pollutant in the wastewater by biological methods. In addition, physical-chemical methods are not always effective due to the unreacted chemicals and sludge treatment (Feng et al 2003;Afzal et al 2011). Nowadays, electrochemical technology, which was applied to water and wastewater treatment, has attracted great attention for its environmental compatibility, high removal efficiency, and potential cost effectiveness.…”

It is difficult to completely degrade wastewater containing refractory pollutants without secondary pollution by biological treatment, as well as physical-chemical process. Therefore, electrochemical technology has attracted much attention for its environmental compatibility, high removal efficiency, and potential cost effectiveness, especially on the industrial wastewater treatment. An effective bibliometric analysis based on the Science Citation Index Core Collection database was conducted to evaluate electrochemical technology for water and wastewater treatment related research from 1994 to 2013. The amount of publications significantly increased in the last two decades. Journal of the Electrochemical Society published the most articles in this field with a top h-index of 90, taking 5.8 % of all, followed by Electrochimica Acta and Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry. The researchers focused on categories of chemistry, electrochemistry, and materials science. China and Chinese Academy of Sciences were the most productive country and institution, respectively, while the USA, with the most international collaborative articles and highest h-index of 130, was the major collaborator with 15 other countries in top 20 most productive countries. Moreover, based on the analysis of author keywords, title, abstract, and 'KeyWords Plus', a new method named ''word cluster analysis'' was successfully applied to trace the research hotspot. Nowadays, researchers mainly focused on novel anodic electrode, especially on its physiochemical and electrochemical properties.

Bench to full-scale enhanced primary treatment of municipal wastewater under wet weather flow for minimized pollution load: evaluation of chemical addition and process control indicators

The enhanced primary treatment of municipal primary influent under wet weather conditions was studied through a comprehensive approach from bench to full scale. The study delivered a practical solution for managing seasonal fluctuations in the influent wastewater by determining the most effective operation conditions for coagulation/flocculation. Three metal-based coagulants were tested through a series of jar tests. Alum outperformed other coagulants since 1 mg of Al added as alum with low mixing was able to remove 22 NTUs, 19 mg COD and 0.8 mg ortho-P. Three-factor ANOVA indicated that TSS removal depended mostly on rapid mixing while COD and ortho-P removals depended on slow mixing and coagulant dose. In bench and full-scale operations, the addition of polymer did not lead to any pronounced improvements. Finally, turbidity and percent ultraviolet transmittance showed good correlation with TSS and ortho-P which evokes their use as surrogates for micropollutants removal and online process control.
