Membrane-Assisted Technologies for Treating Pulp and Paper Industry Wastewater Richa Aggrawal, Jitender Dhiman, Anshu, Shrutikona Das, Kumar Anupam, Ashwani Kumar Dixit Green Technologies for Industrial Contaminants, 2025 The pulp and paper industry (PPI) is a water-intensive industry. It utilizes billions of cubic meters of water in the papermaking process. After that it produces an enormous amount of wastewater enriched with various contaminants, including biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, turbidity, color, heavy metal ions, etc. Eliminating these contaminants from PPI wastewater is necessary to meet the norms of various regulatory authorities to preserve the environment and human health. Literature suggests that these water pollutants from PPI can be treated using various technologies such as filtration, adsorption, precipitation, electrodialysis, coagulation, flocculation, floatation, ion-exchange, etc. Nevertheless, these techniques have several de-merits, like the massive requirement of physicochemical reagents, non-uniform pollutant removing capacity, generation of secondary hazardous solid waste, etc. Though these methods can sufficiently treat the above-mentioned impurities from PPI wastewater, the membrane technologies are known for a higher level of performance either implemented individually (reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, and nanofiltration) or in hybrid configuration (reverse osmosis + ultrafiltration + nanofiltration, membrane + adsorption, membrane distillation, etc.). This chapter aims to present an anthology of different membrane-based techniques; operating parameters; and types, configuration, and characterization of membranes used for evaluation of membrane-based processes concerning the PPI wastewater treatment.
Bibliometric mapping of theme and trends of augmented reality in the field of education Shilpi Harnal, Gaurav Sharma, Anupriya, Anand Muni Mishra, Deepak Bagga, Nikhil Saini, Pankaj Kumar Goley, Kumar Anupam Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024 BackgroundAn innovative and interactive real‐world environment can be presented with augmented reality (AR) that comprises digital visual elements, audio, or other sensory information delivered via technology to enhance one's experience. AR has numerous potential applications in various everyday fields. The education sector is one such arena where AR has been implemented prominently globally. AR in education can impact active students' learning to memorize effectively and can persuade them to engage in a meaningful process of learning.ObjectivesThis article presents a bibliometric analysis of some recent applications of AR, emphasizing the potential effects, challenges, and trends of AR in the education sector for the past 15 years.MethodsA total of 3909 documents published during 2006–2020 were retrieved from the Scopus database for analysis. The bibliometric analysis included document types, subject categorization, document growth, as well as top contributing sources, countries, authors, and funding sponsors. It also analyses keywords, abstracts, titles, and characteristics of the most cited documents. Additionally, it provides a brief account of the challenges for AR adaptation in education.Results and conclusionsThe findings uncover an increased use of AR to promote enhanced learning in the education field. This work will provide the survey, limitations, and drawbacks, as well as open usability and technical issues that may represent new challenges for future research in this field.
