    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    A Novel UV-C/XOH(X=Na or K) Based Highly Alkaline Advanced Oxidation Process (HA-AOP) for Degradation of Emerging Micropollutants

    Herein, a novel and comprehensible approach has been suggested to degrade the emerging micropollutants such as synthetic dyes. In this study, a continuous UV-C irradiation has been used to treat the aqueous matrix of synthetic pollutant dyes under highly alkaline environment (pH &gt;13.0). In this HA-AOP, the treatment rate and degradation efficiency are primarily found to be affected by the type of pollutant dye present in the matrix, concentration of XOH or pH and UV-C fluence rate. In addition, the kinetic study indicates that HA-AOP or UV-C/XOH(X=Na or K) process follows zero order reaction kinetics during the degradation of parent pollutant species. The explored approach is quite auspicious due to its tremendous potential to handle versatile aqueous matrices containing natural organic materials, inorganic salts, fatty matters, surfactants and many more things. Overall, unlike other AOPs, this novel UV-C/XOH(X=Na or K) based HA-AOP could be highly utilized for the effective treatment of various alkaline wastewater streams.</jats:p

    Herein, a novel and comprehensible approach has been suggested to degrade the emerging micropollutants such as synthetic dyes. In this study, a continuous UV-C irradiation has been used to treat the aqueous matrix of synthetic pollutant dyes under highly alkaline environment (pH >13.0). In this HA-AOP, the treatment rate and degradation efficiency are primarily found to be affected by the type of pollutant dye present in the matrix, concentration of XOH or pH and UV-C fluence rate.
