This review aims to carry out a scientific review of the current status of aluminum can recycling processes over the last 15 years, seeking to find sustainable applications for its destination. Thus, the research topics were defined by the identification of the structure of the scientific field of research and the relationship of aluminum recycling, casting processes, and formation of aluminum-based alloys, as well as their applications. Therefore, three topics were studied: the state of the art of aluminum recycling practices; processes being performed and aluminum casting techniques and methods; and the current state of formation of secondary aluminum-based alloys, the alloy elements being used, and their applications after the formation of alloys. Based on the above three topics, the research topics include (A) aluminum recycling, (B) casting processes, and (C) the formation of aluminum-based alloys and their applications. For bibliometric analysis, the software SciMAT was applied. Through the overlaid map and the evolution map, it was possible to detect the temporal evolution of the scientific field in the researched area. Cluster analysis allowed us to identify the motor words. Through the connections network, keywords connected to the motor themes were verified that indicated the connection areas of the research field and the main authors. The simulation models were factors of innovation in the area, as well as the software packages ANSYS and ProCAST. In the area of alloy formation, the liquid metal cleaning analyzer technique was highlighted in the production of high-quality alloys. The important connections to aluminum recycling feasibility are presented in this review.

再生铝处理的可持续应用：使用 SciMAT 软件的系统文献回顾

本次审查旨在对过去 15 年铝罐回收过程的现状进行科学审查，寻求为其目的地寻找可持续的应用。因此，研究主题是通过确定研究领域的结构以及铝回收、铸造工艺和铝基合金的形成及其应用之间的关系来确定的。因此，研究了三个主题：铝回收实践的现状；正在执行的工艺和铝铸造技术和方法；再生铝基合金的形成现状、所使用的合金元素及其在合金形成后的应用。基于以上三个课题，研究课题包括（A）铝回收，(B) 铸造工艺，和 (C) 铝基合金的形成及其应用。对于文献计量分析，应用了 SciMAT 软件。通过叠加图和演化图，可以检测出研究区域内科学领域的时间演化。聚类分析使我们能够识别运动词。通过连接网络，验证了与电机主题相关的关键词，表明了研究领域和主要作者的连接区域。仿真模型以及软件包 ANSYS 和 ProCAST 是该领域的创新因素。在合金形成领域，液态金属清洗分析仪技术在高质量合金生产中得到了突出体现。
