Natural porous minerals have special and excellent characteristics due to their pore structure，adsorptioncharacteristics，ion exchangecharacteristics，catalytic properties and micro-solubilityeffects，which can effectively improve soil microenvironment and remediate contaminated soil. This paper introduce the application and research progress of natural porous minerals and their modified materials in the fields of soil improvement and soil environmentalremediation and describe the detail about their environmentalproperties，structural chemicalproperties，applications in soilimprovement，remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil，remediations of organic contaminated soil and remediation ofviral contaminated soil. Natural porous minerals have resource and environmental properties，which is very suitable for the application conditions of soil environment improvement and restoration in China. The application of natural porous minerals in soil improvement and restoration has important research and economic significance.
