Abstract:

As a non-metallic mineral material,attapulgite has abundant reserves and special structure.Due to its good adsorp-tion performance and catalytic performance,it is commonly used as catalyst or catalyst carrier.In order to better understand and make full use of attapulgite resources,the basic properties of attapulgite and the influence of different modification meth-ods including acid modification and alkali modification on the properties of attapulgite were briefly introduced.And the cur-rent application of attapulgite composite materials in the field of photocatalysis,gas phase catalysis,electrocatalysis,and other catalysis fields were mainly described.Through comparison,the attapulgite composite material was found to exhibit higher ap-plication value in catalysis fields,especially the photocatalysis field.Finally,the advantage and the further application of the attapulgite composite materials in the treatment of wastewater by photocatalysis were summarized and prospected.

Key words: attapulgite, composite materials, photocatalysis, gas phase catalysis, electrocatalysis
