The invention discloses a preparation method of a porous spherical compound humidifying agent, which comprises the following steps of: a, activating zeolite for 2-3h at a temperature of 450 DEG C to obtain activated zeolite; b, adding 30 parts by mass of polyacrylic acid into a sodium hydroxide solution prepared from 15 parts by mass of sodium hydroxide and 100 parts by mass of distilled water so that polyacrylic acid is neutralized, then adding 0.9-2.7 parts by mass of sodium carboxymethylcellulose, 3-6 parts by mass of activated zeolite and 0.3 part by mass of potassium persulfate into a container containing the solution, stirring for reaction at a temperature of 70-80 DEG C; 30min later, dissolving 0.3 part by mass of aluminium chloride in 10 parts by mass of distilled water to obtain a solution, adding the solution in the reactor; adding 0.3 part by mass of N,N-methylenebisacrylamide, continuously stirring for reaction for 0.5-1h till a gel effect happens; and c, adding 0.9 part by mass of sodium bicarbonate into the reactor to generate aluminium hydroxide and carbon dioxide, carrying out primary foaming, stirring for reaction for 0.5-1h to obtain a synthetic product; heating for 1-2h at a temperature of 150 DEG C so that the aluminium hydroxide is decomposed and water is evaporated, and carrying out secondary foaming and drying to obtain the porous spherical compound humidifying agent. The porous spherical compound humidifying agent has the advantages of high humidifying response speed, high moisture content and moisture capacity, good regulation stability, convenience in preparation, low cost, good effect, environmental friendliness and no pollution.
