“…The length between the nodes in the network can reflect the relationship of the subject content, which in turn demonstrates the structural changes in the research field [46]. In order to objectively analyze the research hotspots of algal-bacterial symbiosis in wastewater treatment, CiteSpace, a kind of citation visualization software, was used to construct the scientific knowledge mapping from two aspects of burst detection and timezone view [47].…”

In recent years, the algae-bacteria symbiotic system has played a significant role in the sustainable development of wastewater treatment. With the continuous expansion of research outputs, publications related to wastewater treatment via algal-bacterial consortia appear to be on the rise. Based on SCI-EXPANDED database, this study investigated the research activities and tendencies of algae-bacteria symbiotic wastewater treatment technology by bibliometric method from 1998 to 2017. The results indicated that environmental sciences and ecology was the most productive subject categories, followed by engineering. Bioresource Technology was the most prominent journal in this field with considerable academic influence. China (146), USA (139) and Spain (76) had the largest amount of publications. Among them, USA was in a leading position in international cooperation, with the highest h-index (67) in 79 countries/territories. The cooperation between China and USA was the closest. The cooperative publishing rate of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was 83.33%, but most of them were in cooperation with domestic institutions, while international cooperation was relatively limited. Methane production, biofuel production, and extracellular polymeric substance were future focal frontiers of research, and this field had gradually become a multi-perspective and inter-disciplinary approach combining biological, environmental and energy technologies.

“…However, raw Kaol exhibit relatively low sorption capacity due to the low reactivity and specific surface area. Researchers have approved that nanomaterials and nanotechnologies have been shaping the wastewater treatment process unprecedentedly [ 11 – 14 ]. In order to increase the reactivity and specific surface area of Kaol, various methods such as organic modification, acid or alkaline activation, delamination, and exfoliation were developed [ 15 – 18 ].…”

Kaolinite nanospheres with hierarchical structures were synthesized via dehydration—rehydration technique through calcined—hydrothermal route. The microstructure of samples were characterized and analyzed by diverse techniques. The results show that after hydrothermal treatment, the layered pseudo-hexagonal kaolinite particles transformed to hierarchical structure nanospheres. The hierarchical structures exhibit large specific surface area of 157.1 m2 g−1 and narrow mesoporous size distribution. The adsorption properties of kaolinite nanospheres were systematically investigated by the removal of methylene blue (MB) from water. It was found that the nanospheres can rapidly adsorb MB with a higher adsorption capacity (184.9 mg/g), and adsorption data followed Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Furthermore, the adsorbent can be regenerated by washing with methanol-HCl solution and shown removal efficiency of more than 95% up to 4 cycles.

“…Other scientometric studies were developed about the following themes: (a) groundwater remediation research (Chen et al, 2019), (b) authorship pattern of rain water harvesting research management publications (Pu & Raja, 2019), and (c) the role of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies in wastewater treatment (Jiang et al, 2018). Chen et al (2019) studied groundwater research based on 2867 journal articles published from January 1950 to September 2018 from the Science Citation Index Expanded database with CiteSpace software.…”

The knowledge of the tendencies of the drinking water treatments was changing through the previous decades and it is necessary to improve it for the benefit of the human beings. In this sense, the purpose of the study was to develop a scientometric study about the drinking water treatments in the period 2010-2020 for providing the state of art of the studies about the drinking water treatments in diverse knowledge areas and new orientations for future research. For this purpose, a search of the information was performed both in the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases, and all articles and reviews related to the field of water treatment or chemistry were included. The results showed that China, the USA and the Netherlands have the majority of the most cited publications and various related multidisciplinary topics, such as infrastructure, technologies and pollution. Therefore, the study allows concluding that there is a need for research on different technologies that contribute positively to obtaining quality water for consumption and for the use of routine activities, being the combination and integration of the different treatment processes a challenge for future studies.
