Abstract: Irgasan, ibuprofen, amoxicillin, and paracetamol have increased their use due to the pandemic. However, organic residues emerge as a viable treatment for their removal from wastewater. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate bibliometric-statistical analysis of scientific publications to stablish this potential use. Bibliometric (keywords co-occurrence) analysis used scientific publications (2010-2022) from Scopus database where keywords with highest occurrence were related to “adsorption” and “activated carbon”. Systematic-statistical analysis used articles from different scientific platforms and showed that research on the topic increased, where ibuprofen removal was the most studied (38.6%). The highest adsorption capacity of organic residues according to biomass type is obtained for herbaceous and agricultural biomass. Finally, the correlation analysis established that the main variable influencing the removal is the surface area.
