Abstract
ABSTRACT Chitosan-based polymer hydrogels have emerged as promising materials for water treatment applications due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and adsorption properties. In this review, we conducted a comprehensive search on latest development and a bibliometric approach to analyse current research trends and advancements in chitosan-based hydrogels for water treatment process. The analysis includes valuable insights into research patterns, key authors, network collaboration and co-citation clusters understanding the role of chitosan-based hydrogels in advancing water treatment technologies. Employing the bibliometric strategy, new insights were obtained from the reported research using Scopus database from 1960 to 2024. The data indicates a consistent increase in number of publications. China and India are the leading countries at the forefront of research output. The ‘International Journal of Biological Macromolecules’ was identified as the most cited journal for chitosan-based hydrogels in waste water treatment. This study offers key thematic and descriptive insights into the use of chitosan-based hydrogels in the field of water treatment applications. Future work should concentrate on developing new hydrogel synthesis methods and improving their adsorption efficiency.
