Abstract

Gas explosions are one of the common forms of accidents in the process industries, posing significant risks to the safe and sustainable development of industrial enterprises. To understand the current research trends and the current state of prevention and control technologies, a bibliometric analysis was conducted in this paper. The results show that “Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries”, “Process Safety and Environmental Protection” and “Fuel” are the main source journals in gas explosion research. Gas explosions research is multidisciplinary, with knowledge bases including accident analysis and method research, general understanding of gas explosions, and explosion control technology. Five main research hotspots were identified: methane explosion research, explosion characteristics research, explosion venting research, explosion suppression materials research and accident risk assessment analysis. Regional analysis reveals Asia focuses on coal mine explosions, Europe on structural impact, while North America emphasizes process safety and simulation. Intelligent sensing and rapid suppression of gas explosions are among the challenges facing current research.

绘制过程工业瓦斯爆炸研究的知识域，促进安全发展

瓦斯爆炸是过程工业中常见的事故形式之一，对工业企业的安全和可持续发展构成重大威胁。为了了解目前的研究趋势和防治技术的现状，本文进行了文献计量学分析。结果表明：《过程工业损失预防》、《过程安全与环境保护》和《燃料》是瓦斯爆炸研究的主要来源期刊；瓦斯爆炸研究是一门多学科的研究，其知识基础包括事故分析和方法研究、瓦斯爆炸的一般认识和爆炸控制技术。确定了甲烷爆炸研究、爆炸特性研究、爆炸排气研究、爆炸抑制材料研究和事故风险评估分析五大研究热点。区域分析显示，亚洲侧重于煤矿爆炸，欧洲侧重于结构影响，而北美侧重于过程安全性和模拟。瓦斯爆炸的智能传感和快速抑制是当前研究面临的挑战之一。

期刊介绍： The broad scope of the journal is process safety. Process safety is defined as the prevention and mitigation of process-related injuries and damage arising from process incidents involving fire, explosion and toxic release. Such undesired events occur in the process industries during the use, storage, manufacture, handling, and transportation of highly hazardous chemicals.
