The invention discloses a purifying material for treating sewage and a preparation process thereof. The purifying material contains the following materials in parts by weight: 33-41 parts of vermiculite, 7-15 parts of manganese acetate, 3-7 parts of citral, 15-25 parts of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, 5-9 parts of guar gum and 0.5-1.2 parts of sodium fluoride. The preparation process comprises the following steps: crushing the vermiculite, mixing with sodium fluoride solution, heating and stirring, centrifugally separating to take precipitates, drying and calcining to obtain a material A; mixing the guar gum and citral solution, sealing, heating and stirring, then mixing with the material A, adding manganese acetate, stirring to be dry, adding the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and deionized water, carrying out ultrasonic treatment, stirring to be dry, and calcining to obtain the purifying material. The purifying material and the preparation process disclosed by the invention have the advantages that the biochemical oxygen demand, the chemical oxygen demand, the permanganate index, the total phosphorus and the total nitrogen in a polluted water body can be obviously reduced, heavy metals and toxic substances such as fluoride, cadmium and arsenic in the water body also can be effectively reduced, the sewage treating speed is high, the effect is good, and the environment-friendly and non-toxic effects are achieved and the like, so that the purifying material and the preparation process are suitable for industrial production.
