城市废水是大量的低浓度流，需要适当的处理和处置，以确保公众和环境健康。本研究旨在以文献计量分析的形式对2010年代欧洲城市污水研究进行全面总结。这项工作以科学引文索引扩展版（科学网）为基础，并使用R包文献计量学数据分析软件和科学制图软件VOSviewer进行。分析了5645篇出版物的数据集，我们确定了最有影响力的期刊，国家，作者，机构和出版物，并绘制了合著和关键词共现网络。西班牙出版的出版物最多，而瑞士的每份出版物平均引用量最高。中国是欧洲以外最合作的国家。对引用最多的文章的分析揭示了欧洲城市污水研究中微污染物去除的流行。关键词分析显示了从污染物去除到资源回收和循环经济的范式转变。我们发现，目前从城市废水中回收资源的挑战来自技术和非技术（例如，环境、经济和社会）方面。我们还讨论了未来可以应对这些挑战的研究机会。
Municipal wastewaters are abundant low-strength streams that require adequate treatment and disposal to ensure public and environmental health. This study aims to provide a comprehensive summary of municipal wastewater research in Europe in the 2010s in the form of bibliometric analysis. The work was based on the Science Citation Index Expanded (Web of Science) and carried out using the R-package bibliometrix for bibliometric data analysis and the software VOSviewer for science mapping. Analysing a dataset of 5645 publications, we identified the most influential journals, countries, authors, institutions, and publications, and mapped the co-authorship and keyword co-occurrence networks. Spain had produced the most publications while Switzerland had the highest average citations per publication. China was the most collaborative country from outside of Europe. Analysis of the most cited articles revealed the popularity of micropollutant removal in European municipal wastewater research. The keyword analysis visualized a paradigm shift from pollutant removal towards resource recovery and circular economy. We found that current challenges of resource recovery from municipal wastewater come from both technical and non-technical (e.g., environmental, economic, and social) aspects. We also discussed future research opportunities that can tackle these challenges.
