The present invention relates to an applicable load-type catalyst for purifying air at room temperature using copper, manganese and cerium as active ingredients and nano-palygorskite or nano-sepiolite powder as carriers, wherein contents of the copper, manganese and cerium account for 15%-40% of the total mass with a molar ratio of 1: 1: 1-1: 2: 4; and preparation technology includes a ultrasonic dispersion step for 1 hour, a stirring step at 30-50 DEG C for 2-4 hours, drying and activating steps at 110-120 DEG C for 5-10 hours, a calcination step in a muffle furnace at 500-800 DEG C for 3-6 hours, and a grinding step until a fineness is equal to or less than 20 microns. The applicable load-type catalyst is super strong in adsorption capacity, can continuously and effectively remove benzene, toluene and xylene (BTX), formaldehyde, CO, NO, SO2 and other harmful gases in the air, is high in processing efficiency, low in cost and wide in economic applicability, does not produce secondary pollution, and is suitable for the removal of pollutants at home, offices, hotels, conference rooms, furniture shopping malls, building material markets and other space.
