Bibliometric insights into wood waste utilization for adsorption in wastewater treatment processes: a review

ABSTRACT

A comprehensive bibliometric analysis is conducted in this study to examine the utilization of wood waste for adsorption in wastewater treatment processes. Through the analysis of publication trends, authorship patterns, citation metrics, and keyword co-occurrence networks, insights into the current state of research in this field are provided, and emerging trends and future directions are identified. The analysis reveals a growing interest in sustainable wastewater treatment practices and the integration of wood waste-based adsorbents. Key findings include the prominence of specific journals, the emergence of novel adsorbent materials, and the importance of modeling techniques in understanding adsorption processes. These insights are significant to researchers, practitioners, and policymakers developing innovative solutions for wastewater treatment and environmental sustainability.
