Abstract: This article provides a systematic review of the current research status and latest progress in the field of mine ecological restoration. Using the SCI literature indexed by the Web of Science database as the data source, the research status and hotspots in the field of mine ecological restoration are displayed through the visual analysis of CiteSpace and the progress of mine ecological restoration technology this year is systematically summarized. Through a comprehensive review of existing technological methods, it is found that whether it is physical, chemical, biological restoration, or combined restoration technology, there are respective advantages, disadvantages, and application limitations. Physical remediation is a pretreatment, chemical remediation is prone to secondary pollution, while the sustainability shown by bioremediation makes it dominant in the of mine ecological remediation, but it has a long cycle and there is a risk of heavy metals that are accumulated by plants re-entering the biosphere through the food chain. Combined remediation can integrate the advantages of different restoration technologies and is the trend for the future development of mine ecological restoration. In the future, we should further promote technological innovation, perfect monitoring and evaluation technology, and promote informatization, scientization, and the effective implementation of mine ecological restoration, to achieve the ecological restoration and sustainable development of the mine area.
