In order to understand China's research situation in membrane bioreactor(MBR)process for sewage treatment in the past ten years,CiteSpace,a visualization analysis tool,is used together with bibliometrics to draw keyword clustering maps and keyword emergence maps through taking the core journals collected by CNKI from 2013 to 2023 as the data source.It is indicated from the results that in the past ten years,MBR sewage treatment field has been widely concerned by scholars,and the number of articles published and cited frequency has remained at a high level.The research about application of MBR process in sewage treatment field mainly focuses on the principle,application and existing problems of MBR technology.It is suggested that the hot research directions in the future will emphasize on solving the existing problems of MBR process,the optimal combination scheme of sewage treatment technology and novel MBR.
