A disclosed preparation method for cassava 
starch modified by combining three kinds of modification processes is characterized by comprising: taking 
starch as a 
raw material, employing a wet-process crosslinking-oxidation-esterification 
chemical modification technological 
route, specifically, performing a crosslinking reaction and an oxidation reaction on an active 
starch slurry at the same time, then adding a pretreated composite esterification 
reagent to perform 
esterification reaction, and adjusting the pH value of the starch 
slurry to 5.0-6.5, so as to finish combined modification of cassava starch, filtering to obtain wet starch with the 
water content of 35% or less, then adding 
polyethylene glycol, mixing uniformly, and performing 
drying, cooling, crushing and sieving, so as to obtain the cassava starch modified by combining three kinds of modification processes. Only one time of post-
processing process comprising washing, 
centrifugation, 
drying and the like is performed, the technological process is continuous and automatic, energy and reaction time are saved; and the product is low in gelatinization temperature, good in 
formability, improved in permeability, 
caking property, film forming ability and anti-
ageing property, and is suitable for being used as a 
coating adhesive and a surface 
sizing agent in 
papermaking industry, a 
sizing agent in weaving industry, an industrial binder and the like.
