Research progress of photosynthetic bacteria wastewater treatment technology based on bibliometric analysis
Wastewater resource recovery has become a hot research topic in wastewater treatment.Photosynthetic bacterial wastewater treatment and resource recovery technology is one of the most promising methods,which can not only treat pollutants in wastewater efficiently,but also produce high value-added products such as proteins,coenzyme Q10,5-aminolevulinic acid,carotenoids and polyhydroxyalkanoates.This study reviewed the relevant literature on photosynthetic bacterial wastewater treatment and systematically sorted and analyzed it through bibliometrics.The results showed that the number of publications on photosynthetic bacterial wastewater treatment showed a growing trend from 1994 to 2023,and China and the United States are the top two countries in terms of the number of publications,and the current research hotspots were mainly focused on ammonia and nitrogen removal,biomass,and the recovery of high-value-added substances,etc.In the future,the research would be focused on the screening of high-efficiency bacterial strains,the design and construction of photobioreactors,and the isolation,recovery,purification,etc.of high-value-added products.The future research would focus on the screening of efficient bacteria,the design and construction of photobioreactors and the separation,recovery and purification of high-value products.
