The invention relates to a preparation method of eggplant stalk activated carbon, comprising the following steps of: cleaning, drying and crushing eggplant stalks, carbonizing for 30-40 minutes at the temperature of 450-650 DEG C, activating for 80-100 minutes at the temperature of 650-700 DEG C with an activating agent, cooling to room temperature, and then taking out the eggplant stalks; then soaking the activated eggplant stalks into hydrochloric acid, stirring for 1-2 hours at the temperature of 55-65 DEG C, washing to be neutral with distilled water, drying, and screening to the size of 200 meshes, so that powdery eggplant stalk activated carbon is obtained, wherein the weight ratio of the activating agent to the eggplant stalks is (2-4): 1. The prepared method provided by the invention is simple and effective, raw materials are widely available, cost is low, corrosivity is low, pollution to the environment is less, iodine adsorption value and methylene blue adsorption value of the eggplant stalk activated carbon are far higher than the standard values of the national wood water purification primary activated carbon, and a new raw material is developed for manufacturing of the activated carbon.
