Abstract

Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) are increasingly applied to chemical industry wastewater because they generate reactive radical species capable of degrading refractory and toxic organic pollutants that conventional biological treatment cannot fully remove. However, the development, knowledge structure, and emerging directions of this specific research field remain insufficiently mapped. This study aims to analyze the scientific landscape, research evolution, and thematic trends of AOP-based treatment for chemical industry wastewater through bibliometric mapping, and to identify the specific knowledge gaps that distinguish this sectoral focus from prior, more broadly scoped bibliometric reviews. An initial pool of 2,017 records was retrieved from the Web of Science database using keyword combinations related to wastewater, chemical industries, and AOPs, then screened and refined to 1,000 documents for analysis. Bibliometrix, VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and OriginLab were used to examine publication trends, collaboration networks, keyword co-occurrence, citation and co-citation patterns, thematic evolution, and conceptual structures. The findings show a marked increase in publications since 2017, with China as the leading contributor in publication output and international collaboration. Dominant themes include pollutant degradation, photocatalysis, ozonation, electrochemical oxidation, and radical-based mechanisms, while emerging topics involve persulfate activation, carbon-based materials, nanocatalysts, and emerging contaminants such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products. The field remains grounded in radical chemistry while shifting toward integrated, hybrid wastewater treatment systems. This study provides a structured, sector-specific overview of research gaps and future directions to support the sustainable, economically feasible implementation of AOPs in chemical industry wastewater treatment.

Abstract

The Socio-economic transformation of communities adjacent to mines is indeterminate, necessitating this study amid the rapid expansion of mining activities in mineral-endowed areas. This paper identified the contribution of mining activities to the socio-economic transformation of people living adjacent to mining sites in Tanzania, specifically in Patamela, Saza, Maleza, and Mbangala villages of Songwe District in Songwe Region. A cross-sectional design and mixed-methods approach were adopted, while random and purposive sampling were used. Household questionnaires, key informant interviews, and observation were used to obtain data, while SPSS and content analysis were used for qualitative and quantitative data analysis, respectively. Communities adjacent to mining centers have generated income, replaced low-quality housing, and met livelihood needs. Through mining activities, households have also acquired natural, financial, and human capital. Nevertheless, environmental pollution, disease outbreaks, damage to houses and infrastructure, and soil and land degradation are more prevalent in these areas. To improve livelihood transformation in these mining-adjacent communities, it is essential to provide financial education, establish environmental restoration programs, facilitate diversified income sources, create local employment and self-employment opportunities, and strengthen local supply chains.
