Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are a promising alternative for the degradation of organic compounds; however, these technologies have been limited mainly by high operating costs and, in some cases, by forming byproducts, which can be more hazardous than the original pollutants. Activated carbon (AC) is a porous material that can be combined with AOP systems in various ways, given its adsorbent and catalytic characteristics. In addition, AC is a flexible, adaptable, and low-cost material. This article presents a bibliometric analysis of AOPs incorporating CA in scientific research and patents; the Scopus database was used to obtain patents and Orbit Express for patents. The most investigated AOPs incorporating AC are photocatalysis processes, Fenton processes, persulfate-based AOP, electrochemical processes, and ozonation. However, it is the persulfate-based AOP that has seen the greatest growth in scientific publications in recent years; this great interest can be related to the synergy that the process has with AC, allowing the degradation of contaminants via radical and non-radical. According to the maturity analysis of scientific publications, photocatalysis, Fenton, electrochemistry, ozonation, and persulfate technologies are in a growth stage and will reach maturity in 2034, 2042, 2040, 2034, and 2035, respectively; these technologies coupled with AC are expected to generate a greater number of patents when they reach maturity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11356-023-31120-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,23]],"date-time":"2023-12-23T13:02:19Z","timestamp":1703336539000},"page":"10623-10639","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Analysis of scientific and technological trends in the incorporation of activated carbon in advanced oxidation processes\u2014a bibliometric study"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"32","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2726-5821","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diego","family":"Montenegro-Apraez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fiderman","family":"Machuca-Mart\u00ednez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"31120_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"146138","DOI":"10.1016\/j.scitotenv.2021.146138","volume":"777","author":"M Alameddine","year":"2021","unstructured":"Alameddine M, Siraki A, Tonoyan L, Gamal E-D (2021) Treatment of a mixture of pharmaceuticals, herbicides and perfluorinated compounds by powdered activated carbon and ozone: synergy, catalysis and insights into non-free [rad]OH contingent mechanisms.
