The invention provides a PM2.5 adsorbent. The PM2.5 adsorbent is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 80-90 parts of activated carbon, 3-4 parts of sodium silicate, 0.2-0.3 part of potassium permanganate, 3-4 parts of siderite powder, 1.5-2 parts of shaddock peel powder, 1-2 parts of polyacrylate emulsion, 2-3 parts of nano zinc oxide, 1-2 parts of lactic acid, 1-2 parts of strontium carbonate, 7-11 parts of bentonite, 1-2 parts of pore-enlarging agent, 130-150 parts of 1Mol / L sodium hydroxide solution, 140-160 parts of 1Mol / L calcium chloride solution, a proper amount of water and 3-5 parts of auxiliary. The adsorbent has good adsorbability and good air purification effects, has good adsorption effects on bacteria, formaldehyde and PM2.5 in the air, can achieve the effect of catalytically oxidizing harmful substances, such as formaldehyde and the like by using nano zinc oxide, and can achieve the effect of sterilization. By using the auxiliary, skin allergy can be prevented, refreshment can be achieved, and the filtration performance can be improved.
