Abstract
The use of electro-technology for the biological treatment systems for wastewater represents a significant innovation in treatment efficiency and offers multiple advantages. This is a study of the methods, basic structures and progress of electrically enhanced biological treatment of wastewater. This study uses bibliometric analysis tools to search for 2,929 relevant papers in the Web of Science database from 2000 to 2023, to determine the evolution of knowledge structure in the field of electro-enhanced wastewater biological treatment (EEWBT). The research focus has shifted from basic wastewater treatments to the development of cutting-edge technologies that promote synchronous treatment and resource recovery. Future studies should focus on the optimization of bioreactors, in-depth mechanism studies and large-scale expansion of practical applications.
