Abstract

Abstract

Based on the Dual Carbon background, this article analyzes the current status of carbon capture technology research in wastewater treatment and selects a total of 2654 relevant documents from the Web of Science. Through a comprehensive analysis of the year of publication, organization, author, and keyword map of the papers, it is concluded that there are three key frontiers in the current development of carbon capture technology in wastewater treatment. First of all, the selection and optimization of the carbon capture process is a major research field with great concern. This involves augmenting existing greenhouse gas mitigation technologies and fostering the development of novel, transformative low-carbon technologies. Secondly, the research on carbon capture products and the ways and extent of resource and energy utilization are also crucial research perspectives. Lastly, some studies are concerned with conducting dynamic life cycle assessment of the water environment under the framework of carbon neutrality, and the establishment of calculation models to estimate the carbon footprint and energy consumption potential of wastewater treatment plants, to inform sustainable development strategies. Future research directions will likely focus on the expansion and enhancement of mathematical modeling and non-technical analysis (such as socio-economic and environmental fundamentals) to provide a more nuanced understanding of the economic benefits and sustainability of carbon capture technologies. The research presented in this article employs CiteSpace software to conduct a rigorous and visual analysis of the existing research on carbon capture technologies in wastewater treatment, to provide a integrated understanding of the current state of knowledge in the field, and to identify potential challenges and opportunities for future development and innovation, thereby informing strategies for sustainable development and advancement in wastewater treatment industry.
