The present invention relates to a modified starch flucculant which has an adjustable cationic degree, has dual functions of agglomeration and flocculation and is used for fine particles, and a synthesizing method thereof. The flucculant uses corn, tuber crops and other soluble starch as backing material. Under the function of ammonium ceric nitrate/nitrate initiator, the methacrylatoethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride and acrylamide are respectively grafted on the molecular chain of starch through aqueous solution polymerization for synthesizing a cationic degree adjustable dual-function type starch flocculant. The starch flocculant of the invention has the advantages of adjustable cationic degree, capacity for simultaneously exerting the dual functions of charge neutralization and flocculation bridging, simple technique, short reaction period, moderate synthesizing condition and high grafting efficiency. Furthermore the starch flocculant of the invention has the characteristics of high flocculating setting speed, high light transmittance of supernate, degradable capability, low price, innocuity, etc. The starch flucculant can be widely used for the waste water disposal and sludge dewatering with high fine particle content in the industries of papermaking, dyeing and printing, coal floatation, petrifaction, etc.
