The invention belongs to the technical field of polyether synthesis, and discloses a preparation method of low-
odor polyether. The preparation method comprises the following steps: adding an
alcohol initiator and a catalyst into a reaction kettle, heating, and adding
epoxide for reaction to prepare a polyether crude product; adding the polyether crude product into a post-treatment kettle, adding acid and an adsorbent for treatment, and filtering to obtain refined polyether; and adding the refined polyether and steam without air into a deodorizing kettle at the same time, and performing deodorizing treatment to obtain the low-
odor polyether. The
odor of the polyether can be effectively reduced, the content of
formaldehyde is lower than 0.1 ppm, the content of
acetaldehyde is lower than 0.3 ppm, the content of
propionaldehyde is lower than 1.0 ppm, the content of
acrolein is lower than 0.05 ppm, the content of
acetone is lower than 0.5 ppm, and the odor grade is 1; and the preparation method is simple, and the odor removal time can be greatly shortened.
