The invention discloses a preparation method of a metal-base ceramic composite filter membrane. The method includes steps: firstly, uniformly coating powder on the surface of a porous matrix, and obtaining a porous metal membrane layer by means of sintering; secondly, soaking the porous metal membrane layer into electrolyte to be anodized and obtaining a transition layer; thirdly, adding oxide powder into dispersing agent to obtain coating liquid; fourthly, coating the coating liquid onto the transition layer and sintering the transition layer after the transition layer is dried; and fifthly,repeating the fourth step for a product after being sintered until a porous ceramic filtering membrane with the thickness ranging from 2mum to 80mum is obtained, and obtaining the metal-base ceramic composite filtering membrane. The problem that bonding is not firm enough when metal and ceramic are compounded is resolved, the effective transition layer is formed on the metal matrix, so that a ceramic layer is firmly bonded with the metal matrix, processability of the prepared composite filter membrane is good, and the composite filter membrane can be used for preparing filtering devices in various shapes, simultaneously, has excellent chemical attack resistance, is high in pressure resistance and stable in repeatability, and can be used as a key component for micro-nano filtering and separating.
