Industrial factory waste frequently discharges hazardous chemicals and neurotoxic dyes, such as Rhodamine B, which cause health problems including infections of the eyes, skin, digestive tract, and respiratory system. Cellulose-based materials, including an iron oxide and cellulose composite, have shown the capacity to achieve nearly complete removal and decolorisation of Rhodamine B. To understand the wider research landscape regarding this degradation mechanism, a bibliometric analysis evaluated 124 documents published between 2008 and 2023 indexed in the Scopus database. China was identified as the leading country in publication volume with 77 documents. Network and co-occurrence evaluations indicated that cellulose, degradation, and Rhodamine B were the most prominent keywords, helping outline the current research trends and potential trajectories for related treatment studies.
Discharge of toxic industrial dyes poses severe hazards to human health and natural ecosystems. Cellulose-based composites offer an effective method for removing harmful compounds such as Rhodamine B. By mapping fifteen years of academic publications, this analysis highlights global research trends and key knowledge clusters, guiding future efforts to refine sustainable water treatment solutions.
This research is at an early conceptual and literature-mapping stage, providing a bibliometric overview rather than a commercial development plan. While it notes that iron oxide and cellulose composites can achieve near-total dye removal, the abstract does not indicate a specific application pathway, end user, or timeline for real-world deployment.

Environmental pollution is one of the serious problems. One of the biggest contributors to environmental pollution comes from factory waste. Factory waste generally contains harmful chemicals and microorganisms. Neurotoxic dyes are chemicals that can be contained in factory waste. Waste containing neurotoxic dyes in the form of Rhodamine B is very dangerous for living things because it causes infections in the eyes, skin, digestive tract, and respiratory tract. However, there is a Fe3O4 composite with cellulose that successfully regulates the decolorization process of Rhodamine B and it was found that almost 100% removal of Rhodamine B. Further exploration is needed regarding the degradation mechanism of Rhodamine B using cellulose-based materials. Therefore, bibliometric analysis is needed to present the relationship between Rhodamine B degradation and cellulose with data collection from 2008 to 2023. The database obtained from Scopus shows that there are a total of 124 documents. From the data obtained, the country with the highest number of publications is China with a total of 77 documents. Co-authorship mapping and network co-occurrence, keywords were analyzed using VOSviewer software. The results showed that the keyword “cellulose” ranked highest with 89 documents followed by the keywords “degradation” and “Rhodamine B”. The VOSviewers app illustrates the overall degradation of Rhodamine B using cellulose-based materials, it can help direct similar and relevant studies and predict future directions.
