The invention relates to crosslinked graphene oxide aerogel for wastewater treatment and a preparation method of the crosslinked graphene oxide aerogel. According to the technical scheme, graphene oxide is prepared from flaky graphite with a chemical oxidation method (Hummers method), then epoxy groups are introduced into graphene oxide, amino-containing substances are introduced into graphene oxide, graphene oxide is crosslinked, sizing and drying treatment are performed finally, and the crosslinked graphene oxide aerogel is prepared. The preparation method is simple, the process is simple and convenient, the adopted raw materials are cheap and widely sourced, and the prepared aerogel has good economical efficiency; by introducing amino groups, adsorption sites can be increased, adsorption efficiency of an adsorbent can be improved, the adsorbent is easy to remove from a wastewater system, secondary pollution to water is avoided, and the crosslinked graphene oxide aerogel has great application prospect.
