Tratamiento de aguas residuales mediante electrocoagulación: Análisis bibliométrico de publicaciones científicas y revisión de resultados
Summary
This review presents a bibliometric analysis of 3,146 scientific articles on electrocoagulation for wastewater treatment published from 1975 to 2024, identifying eight research clusters encompassing reactor configurations, electrode materials, and contaminant removal efficiency in both domestic and industrial wastewater applications.
Este artículo de revisión presenta un análisis bibliométrico de 3146 artículos científicos extraídos de la base de datos Scopus, utilizando las palabras clave "Wastewater Electrocoagulation". La selección abarcó publicaciones desde 1975 hasta 2024, distribuidas en 715 fuentes y con la colaboración de 7876 autores. Para llevar a cabo el análisis, se emplearon los programas VosViewer y Bibliometrics. En VosViewer, se utilizó un umbral mínimo de 12 ocurrencias por palabra clave, seleccionando 133 de las 4994 palabras clave registradas mediante el método de asociación normalizada. Estos 133 términos fueron organizados en 8 clústeres, cada uno analizado según los avances recientes en configuraciones de reactores de electrocoagulación, tipos de materiales de electrodos, y la eficiencia en la eliminación de contaminantes tanto en aguas residuales domésticas como industriales. El estudio se enfocó en analizar la evolución de las publicaciones sobre electrocoagulación y en destacar los avances recientes en la remoción de contaminantes utilizando esta tecnología. A través del análisis de los clústeres, se obtuvo una visión integral de las investigaciones actuales, lo que permitió identificar las áreas más innovadoras y emergentes de esta tecnología. Además, se evaluaron distintos métodos y materiales para mejorar la eficiencia del proceso.
