A Global Perspective on the Use of Mine Tailings in Concrete: Developments and Trends through Bibliometric Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

This review utilizes bibliometric analysis to examine global research trends and the chronological development of studies on the incorporation of mine wastes and tailings in concrete. A total of 345 publications were extracted from the Web of Science (WOS) database, and their analysis revealed a clear upward trajectory in scientific output since 2000. Respectively, China, India, Canada, and the USA were identified as the countries contributing the most to this research area. Among the 1139 author keywords extracted from the collected papers, 103 keywords with a minimum of three occurrences were analyzed using the VOSviewer software. VOSviewer further supports identifying research gaps and emerging trends by visualizing relationships among authors, publications, and keywords, facilitating a deeper understanding of the dynamics within the field. The analysis of keyword occurrences shows convergence towards research that focuses on the development of sustainable and high-performance materials that equate environmental responsibility with industrial economy demands. The current review also uses Biblioshiny, a web-based tool that explores topic timelines. It reflects that, in recent years, research focuses have shifted toward more sustainability, advanced materials, and performance optimization in the use of mine tailings in concrete.
