Abstract

The growing demand for sustainable wastewater treatment emphasizes the need for eco-friendly and cost-effective solutions. This study addresses a gap in the literature by examining the role of cellulose-based materials in adsorbing pollutants such as heavy metals, synthetic dyes, and organic compounds. A bibliometric analysis was performed using VOSviewer on 730 research articles published between 2014 and 2024, sourced from the Scopus database. The analysis focused on citation patterns, bibliographic coupling, and co-occurrence mapping to identify trends in pollutant removal mechanisms, factors affecting treatment efficiency, and the application of cotton-waste adsorbents. The findings reveal three primary research clusters and highlight the significant potential of cellulose-based adsorbents for wastewater treatment. The cellulose-based materials not only offer a more sustainable solution but also contribute to reducing costs and promoting the circular economy through the repurposing of cotton or fabric waste. The study establishes cellulose-derived adsorbents as promising alternatives to conventional materials, offering a pathway for improving environmental sustainability, reducing the burden on landfills, and advancing waste management practices. It also highlights the related technologies in addressing global pollution challenges.

期刊介绍： Cellulose is an international journal devoted to the dissemination of research and scientific and technological progress in the field of cellulose and related naturally occurring polymers. The journal is concerned with the pure and applied science of cellulose and related materials, and also with the development of relevant new technologies. This includes the chemistry, biochemistry, physics and materials science of cellulose and its sources, including wood and other biomass resources, and their derivatives. Coverage extends to the conversion of these polymers and resources into manufactured goods, such as pulp, paper, textiles, and manufactured as well natural fibers, and to the chemistry of materials used in their processing. Cellulose publishes review articles, research papers, and technical notes.
