Abstract: In order to fully grasp the current situation and development trend of mine emergency rescue research in China, based on China National Knowledge Infrastructure database, VOSviewer and CiteSpace were used to conduct bibliometric visualization analysis from multiple perspectives such as the number of publications, research institutions, researchers, journal sources and keywords, and the evolution process of emergency rescue research hotspots was analyzed from three aspects: management, technology and equipment. The results show that the research on mine emergency rescue in China has mainly experienced three stages of development: initial germination, rapid development and high fluctuation, and the number of published papers is on the rise. Research institutions are dominated by universities. The research team is distinctive, but the cooperation needs to be strengthened. At present, the research hotspots focus on emergency plan, emergency command, emergency communication, emergency drill, rescue equipment and IoT monitoring. Information technology plays an increasingly important role in mine disaster perception, transmission, evaluation, decision-making and command. Intelligence, informatization and integration have become the main development trend of mine emergency rescue in the future.
