Water pollution with fluoride can cause dental fluorosis, skeletal deformities, and other diseases, posing serious harm to human health. To understand the development status, research hotspots, and frontier trends in fluoride-containing wastewater (FCW) treatment, this study employed bibliometric methods to visually analyze 2840 publications related to FCW treatment from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database. The "bibliometrix" package in R language, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace visualization software were utilized for the analysis. The results revealed a fluctuating upward trend in the annual number of publications, indicating ongoing deepening and development of research in this field. India and China exhibited the strongest research capacity, forming a cooperation network centered around these two countries. High-impact journals such as Desalination and Water Treatment, Journal of Hazardous Materials, and Chemical Engineering Journal frequently publish research related to FCW treatment. Keyword co-occurrence and burst analysis revealed that the current research hotspots in FCW treatment primarily focus on treatment methods (ion exchange, chemical coagulation/precipitation, adsorption, electrochemical, membrane separation, and fluidized bed crystallization), adsorption mechanism, and adsorbent design and optimization. Future research will likely focus on developing efficient treatment technologies and adsorption materials for FCW, as well as the recovery of fluoride resources from FCW, highlighting a dual approach to environmental sustainability and resource management. By employing bibliometrics, this study outlines the development status of FCW treatment and predicts the field's future trends, providing insights for understanding the development trajectory of this field.
氟污染水体可导致氟斑牙、骨骼畸形等疾病，对人体健康造成严重危害。为了解含氟废水（FCW）处理的发展现状、研究热点和前沿趋势，本研究采用文献计量学方法，对来自科学网核心合集（WOSCC）数据库的2840篇有关FCW处理的出版物进行可视化分析。利用R语言中的“bibliometrix”包、VOSviewer和CiteSpace可视化软件进行分析。结果显示，出版物年数量呈波动上升趋势，表明该领域研究在不断深入和发展。印度和中国的研究能力最强，形成了以这两个国家为中心的合作网络。《脱盐与水处理》《危险材料杂志》和《化学工程杂志》等高影响力期刊经常发表与FCW处理相关的研究。关键词共现和突发分析表明，当前FCW处理的研究热点主要集中在处理方法（离子交换、化学混凝/沉淀、吸附、电化学、膜分离和流化床结晶）、吸附机理以及吸附剂的设计与优化。未来的研究可能会集中在开发高效的FCW处理技术和吸附材料，以及从FCW中回收氟资源，突出环境可持续性和资源管理的双重方法。通过文献计量学，本研究概述了FCW处理的发展现状并预测了该领域的未来趋势，为了解该领域的发展轨迹提供了见解。
