Abstract

Direct application of high-sulfur fuels and ores can cause environmental pollution (such as air pollution and acid rain) and, in serious cases, endanger human health and contribute to property damage. In the background of preserving the environment, microbial desulfurization technologies for high-sulfur fuels and ores are rapidly developed. This paper aims to reveal the progress of microbial desulfurization research on fuels and ores using bibliometric analysis. 910 publications on microbial desulfurization of fuels and ores from web core databases were collected in this work, spanning 39 years. Through 910 retrieved documents, collaborative networks of authors, institutions and countries were mapped by this work, the sources of highly cited articles and cited documents were statistically analyzed, and keyword development from different perspectives was discussed. The results of the study provide a reference for microbial desulfurization research and benefit environmental protection and energy green applications.
