Green chemistry and water remediation: bibliometric study and research applications

Abstract This chapter analyzes research studies on water remediation within the framework of 12 principles of green chemistry, bibliometric features, and characteristics of related research papers. Bibliometric analysis will be performed on the literature cited in the Web of Science from 1999 to 2018. The bibliometric analysis covers mainly year-wise and geographical-wise distribution, authorship pattern and citation, etc. All these data will be organized, analyzed, tabulated, and presented by using simple statistical methods. Readers will find a recent research application on water remediation with supporting statistical data.
