The invention discloses a cordierite compound ceramic filter element. The cordierite compound ceramic filter element is characterized by being prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 13-15 parts of cordierite, 9-11 parts of mullite, 6-8 parts of silochrom, 4-7 parts of smectite, 8-10 parts of activated alumina, 3-5 parts of calcium sulfate, 2-3 parts of dimethyl silicon oil, 3-4 parts of sodium alginate, 3-5 parts of palm fibers, 2-3 parts of urea, 5-7 parts of modifying coconut active charcoal, and the defined amount of water. The cordierite compound ceramic filter element provided by the invention has the advantages that the silochrom is added, so that the adsorptive property and heat stability are good, the chemical property is stable, and the mechanical strength is high; the palm fibers are added, so that the tenacity of the filter element is added, meanwhile, the cordierite compound ceramic filter element has a porous property, and the filtering adsorptive property is improved; the modifying coconut active charcoal is added, so that the gap structure is developed, the adsorptive property is good, the intensity is high, the regeneration is easy, and the cordierite compound ceramic filter element is economical and durable, is long in service life, is corrosion-proof and can be used for air adsorption filtration.
