The invention relates to a preparation method of a high-strength 
air filter paper. The method includes: mixing a 
fiber material with water, conducting full defibering and diluting in a defibering device to obtain a base 
fiber suspension, and then carrying out molding and suction to obtain base molded wet paper; adding a carbon nano-material into a surfactant solution, and carrying out 
ultrasonic dispersion to obtain a carbon nano-material dispersion; mixing the carbon nano-material dispersion with an 
adhesive, and then adding water to prepare a mixed 
diluent; soaking the molded wet paper in the mixed 
diluent, maintaining the state for 30-40min, then taking the molded wet paper out, conducting suction and 
drying, and then carrying out 
sizing and 
drying to obtain the 
air filter paper. The method provided by the invention overcomes the defects in the prior art, is high in filtering efficiency and low in filtering resistance through the 
air filter paper containing the carbon nano material,can filter particle pollutants, and can also remove chemical pollutants and viruses in air; and under the action of current and 
high voltage, a 
porous film is formed on the surface of the raw paper,so that the 
flame-retardant effect of the air 
filter paper can be improved.
