The invention discloses an attapulgite rod refrigerator deodorization particle and a preparation method, and belongs to the technical field of attapulgite. The particle is prepared from the following ingredients: high-viscosity attapulgite clay, pasty attapulgite clay, thermally modified attapulgite clay, activated carbon, white carbon black, folium artemisiae argyi, rhizoma atractylodis, licorice root, rhizome of acorus calamus, clove oil, tea tree essential oil and herba menthae essential oil. The preparation method comprises the following steps: weighing, smashing and mixing the traditional Chinese medicines to obtain a traditional Chinese medicine mixture, and extracting in a Soxhlet extractor to obtain extracting solution; mixing and evenly stirring the high-viscosity attapulgite clay, the pasty attapulgite clay, the thermally modified attapulgite clay and the activated carbon, then, adding the extracting solution and the essential oil into mixed materials, evenly stirring and applying ultrasound; adding the white carbon black into the mixture, drying after evenly mixing, and carrying out granulation to obtain the attapulgite refrigerator deodorization particle. The attapulgite refrigerator deodorization particle has an efficient deodorization effect and a certain sterilizing effect. The preparation method is simple and practicable, and has a good application value.
