Due to the unique pore structure and excellent performance,porous ceramics have broad application in moisture sensitivity,gas sensitivity,filtration,sound absorption,heat insulation and catalytic carrier,especially in the field of environmental catalysis.Compared with catalyst powder alone,the supported porous ceramic catalysts have the advantages of large specific surface area,high catalytic activity,easy recovery,high carrier strength and corrosion resistance,which has become a research focus in recent years.The research progress of porous ceramics in catalytic treatment of volatile organic compounds,automobile exhaust gas,flue gas,printing and dyeing wastewater,and other organic wastewater degradation was reviewed,and the problems and development trends were prospected.
