Remediation of Heavy Metals Contaminated Soils: A bibliometric Network Analysis

Abstract

With the acceleration of industrialization, heavy metal pollution, as one of the major types of soil pollution, is more and more serious. Therefore, the remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil has become a hotspot. This study explored the global scientific literature on the remediation of heavy metal contaminated soils, and conducted statistical and bibliometric analysis of 5733 documents in the core collection of Web of Science. The topics searched are: "Soil", Heavy metal" and "Remediation". The relationship among keywords, authors, countries, and publications for the remediation of heavy metal contaminated soils were showed in the knowledge map. Furthermore, the research hotspot evolution path of soil heavy metal remediation, the research status and development trend of related remediation technologies were analyzed. These results visualize the research results through bibliometrics, examine the research in this field from the perspective of the knowledge graph, and provide references for future development.

Assessment of Effects of Amended Bioremediation of Toxic Metal-polluted Soil using Organic Composites and Bacillus sp on Plant Growth Parameters

“…The majority of metals may be treated using bioremediation procedures, which are also inexpensive and environmentally safe. Because of this, biologically based remediation strategies are gaining a lot of attention among other accessible options [11]. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possible impacts of employing composites of cow dung and chicken wastes along with Bacillus sp.…”
