Analyzing the development in China’s landfill technology research ranges from 1997 to 2020 at the aspects of chronological distribution

high-yield journals

high-yield research institutions and keyword hotspot through Histcite

which sets landfill relevant studies in Web of Science as statistical samples. The result indicates: 1) The engineering application of landfill has declined

but the interest in landfill academic research has increased per year. 2) Although China’s landfill technology is globally highly researched

the depth and recognition of research need to be further improved from the facets of cited times. 3) Landfill articles published in JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS have the highest impact factor and better recognition. 4) Tongji University is the critical institute of landfill technology research. 5) The research hotspots in recent 24 years are leachate treatment methods

leachate composition analysis

landfill gas treatment and oxidation repair technology

etc.
