Abstract: The problem of environmental pollution is one of the most important challenges for mankind in the 21st century. The treatment of environmental pollutions has become an extremely urgent and challenging task. Environmental catalysis technology has been regarded as one of the most effective ways to solve the serious environmental pollution problems that we are facing. In this paper, the present status for the developing of environmental catalysis in recent years was summarized from the standpoint of purifying different pollutants. The challenges of environmental catalysis research were discussed and its future developments were also proposed. Finally, the application prospect of environmental catalysis was outlooked.

Key words: environmental catalysis, pollutants, catalytic purification, research status, prospect
