A Bibliometric Study of Wollastonite as a New Natural Material in Cement-based Construction Materials-A Review

Abstract

We tried to collect all publications based on Scopus for 24 years in English for the keyword Wollastonite. We analyzed the most popular journals, top authors, top-cited papers, and the role of top countries in the world on the usage of Wollastonite in construction. Moreover, a comprehensive examination of literature and patent data pertaining to the production and utilisation of wollastonite and materials derived from wollastonite was conducted. We then consolidated and presented our findings about Wollastonite’s characteristics. We demonstrated the theoretical possibility of using recycled wollastonite in some areas of cement-based construction materials and product manufacture. Our research results shows that the number of available articles on Wollastonite-mineral as a fibre and aggregate is less than that on other areas. In addition, the research enables us to discover potential deficiencies in the utilization of Wollastonite in situations where there is currently no available published literature.
