“…In recent years, the concern about environmental pollution due to antibiotics and other emerging contaminants has clearly increased (Conde-Cid et al, 2018;Jechalke et al, 2014;Lou et al, 2018;Paolotti et al, 2016;Ramírez-Malule et al, 2020;Rasheed et al, 2019).…”

“…Despite not containing any journal or author of French origin, it is remarkable that CNRS Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique is included in this table. Even so, as observed in its values, it has the lowest number of total citations (787), average of citations (14.57) and h-index (16). It is remarkable that 9 out of the 10 most prolific authors belong to the institutions appearing in the first, fourth, eighth and ninth positions.…”

Water pollution is a worldwide problem. Water consumption increases at a faster rate than population and this leads to a higher pollution rate. Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) include proposals aimed at ensuring the availability of clean water and its sustainable management (Goal 6), as well as the conservation and sustainable use of oceans and seas. The current trend consists in trying to reconcile economic growth with sustainability, avoiding the negative externalities for the environment generated by human activity. More specifically, the objective of this article is to present the evolution of the research regarding the removal of polluting pharmaceuticals that are discharged into wastewater. To do that, a bibliometric analysis of 2938 articles comprising the period 1979–2020 has been carried out. This analysis includes productivity indicators in the scientific field: journals, authors, research institutions and countries. In addition, keyword analysis allows the identification of four main axes of the research regarding the removal of pharmaceutical residues found in wastewater. The first group of articles is aimed at identifying the pharmaceuticals present in polluting effluents. The second and third groups of articles focus on presenting the procedures that enable the treatment of emerging contaminants, either from a biological point of view (second group) or a physicochemical point of view (third group). The fourth group refers to water quality and its possibilities to be reused. Finally, there is a growing trend of worldwide scientific publications, which justifies the importance of polluting residues management, especially those of pharmaceutical origin, in order to achieve a more sustainable society.

“…These compounds have the potential to impose hazardous effects on both ecosystem and human health (Meffe and de Bustamante, 2014). A large body of evidences highlights that different concentrations of ECs ranging from ng/L to mg/L are found in water sources and wastewater effluents (Petrie et al, 2015;Taheran et al, 2018;Shah et al, 2020;Ramírez-Malule et al, 2020;Hartmann et al, 2019;Luo et al, 2014;Hartmann et al, 2020;Rout et al, 2021;Houtman et al, 2014). ECs can be subdivided into the different groups of contaminants including pesticides, endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), industrial compounds, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical compounds (PCs) (Gogoi et al, 2018).…”

A novel sol-gel method was employed in this study to efficiently synthesize SnO 2 nanoparticles to catalyze the ozonation of acetaminophen (ACT) from aqueous solutions. The influence of various parameters including Sn source, type of capping and alkaline agents, and calcination temperature on the catalytic activity of the SnO 2 preparations was investigated. The SnO 2 nanoparticles prepared by tin tetrachloride as Sn source, NaOH as gelatin agent, CTAB as capping agent and at calcination temperature of 550 • C (SnNaC-550) exhibited the maximum performance in the catalysis of ACT. The optimized catalyst (SnNaC-550) had spherical-homogeneous and cubic-shaped nanocrystalline particles with 5.5 nm mean particle size and a BET surface area of 81 m 2 /g, which resulted in 98% degradation and 84% mineralization of 50 mg/L ACT at 20 and 30 min reaction time, respectively when combined with ozonation (COP). Based on the radical scavenger experiments, • OH was the major oxidizing agent involved in the removal of ACT. LC/MS analysis showed that short-chain carboxylic acids were the main intermediates. Furthermore, the SnNaC-550 catalytic activity was preserved after four successive cycles. Collectively, the new method has the potential to efficiently synthesize stable and reusable SnO 2 nanoparticles to catalyze the ozonation of ACT from aquatic environments.
