Abstract: Based on the Citespace tool, the literature of mine ecological restoration in China under the background of carbon neutrality was visualized and analyzed by knowledge graph. The relevant literatures in China from 2000 to 2022 were retrieved from CNKI and Web of Science websites. Citespace 5.8 R3 software was used to draw and analyze the knowledge map of authors, institutions and keywords. The results showed that 844 Chinese and 75 English literatures were included, with 765 researchers, represented by Shou Liyong et al. The research institutes were represented by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The key words with the highest frequency were ecological restoration. The key words showed that abandoned mines were the focus of attention, and the carbon neutrality was the important background of mine ecological restoration, and green mine was one of the goals of mine restoration in the future. Keyword time map indicated that mine ecological restoration was a sustainable battle, which is based on local conditions and cooperation between government and enterprises to achieve a win-win cycle. The improvement of laws and policies in mine ecological restoration, the joining of government enterprises, the innovation of science and technology and the strengthening of people’s consciousness are the future research trends.
