ABSTRACT
Bioremediation is a potential technology that utilizes microorganisms for water treatment wasted by textile effluents, nutrients, dyes and lipids. Microalgae are used for bioremediation in wastewater treatment through two ways: consumption of effluent as carbon source and adsorbents as biosorbents. This chapter presents bibliometric features and characteristics of the research papers related to water remediation. The bibliometrics was identified as ‘the application of mathematical and statistical methods to books and other communication medium’ by A. Pritchard. The methods of bibliometric are used to analyze, authorship, citation and publication pattern, and the relationship within scientific domains and research communities and to structure of specific fields. The information used to build the bibliometric study was composed of scientific research papers indexed in Science Citation Index, Science Citation Index Expanded, Journal Citation Reports and Engineering Index.
