Abstract：Due to the coupled effects of the properties of minerals and the advantages offered by composite materials,mineral-based composite materials have exhibited unique performances and attracted significant attention in the field of eco-environmental studies with extensive applications in improving water quality.This paper reviews various methods for enhancing the structure and properties of mineral-based composites materials,including acid/alkali etching,thermal activation modification,surface modification,and metal nanoparticle load modification.The mechanisms of these materials in effectively fixing/removing heavy metals,organic and inorganic pollutants in the aquatic environmental pollutants include adsorption,catalytic reactions,and synergistic effects with aquatic organisms such as microorganisms and aquatic plants.Mineral-based composite material plays a vital role in advancing biological ecological restoration,promoting the growth of aquatic plants,and enhancing microbial diversity.And the paper summarizes application cases of mineral-based composite materials in water environment restoration and management,and emphasizes the focus of future research on assessing their performance and long-term effects in different water quality environments,exploring best approaches of their joint application with other advanced techniques,and optimizing their manufacturing processes and material costs.
