The invention belongs to the field of mineral-based composite materials, and particularly relates to a laminated composite material of anatase and montmorillonite obtained from the process of regulating montmorillonite micro layer recombination by means of an acid-base environment, and a preparation method thereof. Firstly, a titanium-containing precursor slurry with the pH value of 6-10 is dropped into an alkaline dispersion liquid of sodium-modified montmorillonite, then the pH value of the system is adjusted to be 3-6, a hydrothermal reaction is conducted at 120-220 DEG C so as to realize the crystallization of titanium oxide and the laminated and alternated assembly of montmorillonite microlayers and anatase, and the obtained composite has excellent catalytic and adsorption functions. The method has the advantages that the process is simple, raw materials are cheap, no organic additive or organic titanium source is used, calcination is not needed, the environmental cost is low, the cost performance of the product is high, large-scale industrial production can be realized, and the obtained product has broad application prospects in the fields like catalysis, adsorption and sewage treatment.
