摘要：Objective: Objective: attapulgite, as a kind of natural adsorption material with abundant reserves and friendly environment, has been widely concerned by mineral, environment, materials, chemistry and other disciplines.CiteSpace software was used to analyze the literatures about attapulgite adsorption application from 1987 to 2021 in CNKI database. Results: the amount of literature about attapulgite adsorption application showed an increasing trend year by year; The key words were: modification, kinetics, etc.; The core authors were: Shuang Ren, Mengfei Zhang, Bin Shuai etc.; The organization with the largest number of papers was the northwest Key Laboratory of plant nutrition and agricultural environment, Ministry of agriculture. Conclusion: this paper deeply analyzes the development status and current hot spots of attapulgite in the field of adsorption application research, and forecasts the future development trend, in order to promote the efficient utilization of attapulgite and provide reference for the next research.
