Treatment technologies for pharmaceutical effluents-A scientometric study

Knowledge map visualization of technology hotspots and development trends in China’s textile manufacturing industry

“…The time when each hotspot appears is the time when the research changes and is an important symbol of the dynamic development and evolution of the knowledge network. To more clearly know the continuation of the key research content in the textile manufacturing technology field in time, the time zone view is further drawn [28][29][30]. The time zone view focuses on analysing the evolution of knowledge from the time dimension, so that the update and mutual influence of literature can be more clearly displayed [31].…”

Acclimatized activated sludge for enhanced phenolic wastewater treatment using pinewood biochar

“…Biochar is a carbon-rich product of biomass pyrolysis at temperatures above 250°C under oxygen-free (or limited oxygen content) conditions [11]. This low-cost material that can satisfy the sustainability considerations by sequestrating carbon [12] has been recently employed in several areas, including as soil amendment to improve the soil properties [13] and crop production [14], and in wastewater treatment to adsorb inorganic pollutants such as heavy metals [15] and nutrients [16] or catalyse the degradation of various types of organic and inorganic pollutants via advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) [17]. In anaerobic wastewater treatment systems, the biochar (as a conductive material) furthermore can facilitate interspecies electron transfer between electron-donating bacteria and electron-accepting methanogens to promote anaerobic digestion processes [18].…”

Applicability of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the Sustainable Design of Commercial and Office Buildings. A Case Study from Tehran, Iran

“…The increasing trend of using of fossil fuels, together with the environmental consequences attributed to the use of conventional resources such as pollution and global warming, on one hand, along with population growth and the energy insecurity triggered by political and economic effects, are some of the most important related issues at global scale (Höök and Tang, 2013). Therefore, one of the most important goals of researchers has been to strive for environmental goals in energy production and moving towards sustainable development in various fields (Davarazar et al, 2019(Davarazar et al, , 2020Kamali et al, 2019;Zandi et al, 2019). Globally, more than 50% of the total population are living in the cities (Kullman et al, 2016).…”
