Adsorption, Bio-based Polymers, Pharmaceutical Residues, Synthetic Polymers, Wastewater TreatmentAbstract
Residu farmasi merupakan kontaminan emergen yang semakin terdeteksi pada air limbah dan perairan permukaan, menimbulkan risiko ekologis dan resistensi antimikroba meskipun keterbatasan pengolahan konvensional. Penelitian ini bertujuan memetakan tren riset penghilangan residu farmasi melalui adsorpsi menggunakan polimer sintetik dan bio-based via systematic literature review dikombinasikan analisis bibliometrik. Menggunakan pendekatan mixed-methods kualitatif, populasi mencakup publikasi 1977-2026 dari Scopus, Google Scholar, dan ScienceDirect lewat Publish or Perish, menghasilkan 100 rekam bibliometrik dan 20 artikel SLR terpilih per pedoman PRISMA. Instrumen meliputi VOSviewer untuk jaringan kata kunci, overlay, dan density visualization, dengan teknik metrik sitasi dan sintesis tematik. Hasil mengungkap tema sentral adsorption, wastewater treatment, sustainable materials; polimer sintetik unggul stabilitas dan selektivitas (komposit, MIP), sementara bio-based seperti chitosan ramah lingkungan. Overlay (2021-2025) tunjukkan pergeseran ke keberlanjutan dan fokus pharmaceuticals. Kesimpulannya, adsorben polimer majukan polishing air limbah, merekomendasikan chitosan-komposit untuk IPAL skala nyata dan pengembangan lokal bio-based di Indonesia.
