Abstract
Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a promising process with applications in various industries, including soil improvement, bioremediation, and concrete repair. However, comprehensive bibliometric analyses focusing on MICP research in hydrodynamics are lacking. This study analyses 1098 articles from the Scopus database (1999–2024) using VOSviewer and R Studio, identifying information on publications, citations, authors, countries, journals, keyword hotspots, and research terms. Global participation from 66 countries is noted, with China and the United States leading in terms of contributions. The top-cited papers discuss the utilisation of ureolytic microorganisms to enhance soil properties, MICP mechanisms, concrete deterioration mitigation, soil and groundwater flow enhancement, biomineral distribution, and MICP treatment effects on soil hydraulic properties under varying conditions. Keywords like calcium carbonate, permeability, and Sporosarcina pasteurii are pivotal in MICP research. The co-occurrence analysis reveals thematic clusters like microbial cementation and geological properties, advancing our understanding of MICP’s interdisciplinary nature and its role in addressing environmental challenges.
