Abstract
Microbial remediation technology has received much attention as a green, ecological, and inexpensive technology, and there is great potential for the application of microbial remediation technology for heavy metals (HMs) contaminated soil alone and in conjunction with other technologies in environmental remediation. To gain an in-depth understanding of the latest research progress, research hotspots, and development trends on microbial remediation of HMs-contaminated soil, and to objectively reflect the scientific contributions and impacts of relevant countries/regions, institutions, and individuals of this field, in this manuscript, ISI Web of Knowledge’s Web of Science™ core collection database, data visualization, and analysis software Bibliometrix, VOSviewer, and HistCite Pro were used to collect and analyze the relevant literature from 2000 to 2022, and 1409 publications were subjected to scientometric analyses. It involved 327 journals, 5150 authors, 75 countries/regions, and 2740 keywords. The current progress and hotspots on microbial remediation of HMs-contaminated soil since the twenty-first century were analyzed in terms of the top 10 most productive countries (regions), high-yielding authors, source journals, important research institutions, and hotspots of research directions. Over the past 22 years, China, India, and the USA have been the countries with the most articles. The institution and author with the most publications are the Chinese Acad Sci and Zhu YG, respectively. Journal of Hazardous Materials is the most productive journal. The keywords showed 6 co-occurrence clusters. These findings revealed the research hotspots, knowledge gaps, and future exploration trends related to microbial remediation of HMs-contaminated soil.
