Trend of mine-used gel research based on CiteSpace

In order to systematically summarize the research results in the field of mine-used gel in China and analyze the future development trend of mining gel, the literature in the field of mine-used gel from 2000 to 2021 in the database of CNKI was searched, and the graphical analysis and outlook of mine-used gel research were conducted with the help of CiteSpace visualization software. The results show that: universities such as China University of Mining and Technology and Xi’an University of Science and Technology are the more active institutions in the research of mine-used gel and play a leading role in the development and application of gel; the keyword clustering can be divided into three aspects of gel types, performance research and practical applications, showing the basic knowledge framework in this field; the research hotspots focus on “graft copolymerization, cross-linking” polymer gel modification technology; biomass gel fire prevention technology will be the future development trend of mine-used gel.
