“…Waste management technology assessment and/or selection is another identified subarea. A substantial part of the studies concerns wastewater treatment technology selection (Ilangkumaran et al, 2013;Fetanat et al, 2021;Aydiner et al, 2016;Sadr et al, 2013;Meerholz & Brent, 2013;Salamirad et al, 2021 ) with the use of MCA methods. Some authors address problems of waste disposal technology selection (Jiang et al, 2015;Govind Kharat et al, 2019), biowaste treatment technology (Mpanang' ombe et al, 2018) or food waste technology (Chadderton et al, 2017).…”

Technology assessment and selection problems have gained importance in recent decades as the used technology often determines the enterprises’ competitive advantage. Due to the extensive catalogue of criteria that should be considered and, on the other hand, the extensive catalogue of available technologies and solutions, the decision-making process of choosing a technology becomes a significant challenge for organisations and individuals. This study aims to identify the main research directions and trends in the scientific literature on applying multi-criteria analysis (MCA) in the context of technology assessment and/or technology selection. The author conducted a bibliometric analysis of publications indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The methodology of this study also included identifying the most productive authors, countries, organisations, and journals and analysing the occurrence and co-occurrence of terms. Final analyses included 380 publications retrieved from the Scopus database and 311 documents retrieved from the Web of Science repository. The analysis of the occurrence of terms and keywords allowed distinguishing two main research directions in using MCA methods in assessing and selecting industrial and health and medicine-related technologies. Some sub-areas have also been distinguished within these two areas: energy and renewable energy technologies, waste management, biomedical and medical technologies, and drug production technologies.

“…Air pollution, pollution of receiving water sources, creating unpleasant smells, degradation of the environment's appearance, the spread of diseases, and the water crisis result from improper wastewater management that put the lives of humans at risk. 45 Moreover, wastewater treatment has the ability to provide algal farms with a large source of non-drinking water, which does not compete with conventional agricultural requirements, thereby lowering water stress. Providing water, nitrogen, and some salts and metals for algal biomass growth is a significant challenge in a biorefinery platform, especially when the unbalanced competition between the water demands in domestic and industrial applications and inadequate available water trigger water insecurity.…”

“…Nevertheless, the vast majority employ systems with sand filters, coagulation processes, flocculation, and membrane bioreactors . Technologies have also been used with chemical oxidation processes employing calcium or sodium hypochlorite, chlorine gas, ozone, and treatment with ultraviolet radiation . In this setting, a process that deserves to be highlighted and that has been widely studied and employed recently in the effluent treatment to generate drinking water is the EC process, followed by separation processes by membranes ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis. , These systems have become indispensable in many operations related to drinking water treatment.…”

Electrocoagulation (EC) is an efficient treatment method that involves the electrodissolution of anodes, the formation of coagulants in situ, and the production of hydrogen at the cathode, facilitating the removal of pollutants by flotation. Industry in general aims to reduce the contaminant load, expressed as chemical oxygen demand (COD), and EC effluent treatment is particularly effective in this process. The development of EC processes has been an efficient alternative for the treatment of effluents with high pollutant loads, such as tannery, pulp and paper, textile, beverage, and food industries, and many demonstrate the potential for application in car wash effluent. This study presents a review of the use of EC for the treatment of various effluents containing COD, OGs, surfactants, color, and turbidity, but with a greater focus on the vehicle washing sector. It also discusses the factors that influence the efficiency of EC and the main discussions of the authors. Presently, the investigations of studies already carried out show that the performance of the EC process is dependent on many relationships and factors, such as the type of material constituting the electrode, the electric potential difference, the electric current density, the distance between electrodes, the surface area of the electrodes, the pH, the initial concentration of contaminants, the conductivity and the treatment time. The review demonstrated that the EC process has been employed in the treatment of many types of effluents and with relatively high efficiency rates, in general, between 60.0% and up to 90.0%, aiming at the reduction of the COD indexes, the reduction from 60.0% up to 99.0% of color content, the 87.0% reduction of chromium. In turn, for turbidity, it varied on average from 44.0 to 99.0%. For other parameters such as MBAS and OGs, in most studies, the reduction exceeded 90.0%.
