The invention relates to a preparation method of an activated carbon filter. The preparation method includes the steps: (1) preparing raw materials: putting powdered activated carbon and powdered activated zeolite into a raw material pool, putting an adhesive into the raw material pool, injecting water according to a weight ratio, then putting a synthetic fiber into the raw material pool, stirring, and wrapping a porous plastic pipe with a two-layer non-woven fabric; (2) adopting a suction molding method: allowing the raw materials in a tank to gather on the porous plastic pipe, and eventually filling fully a whole suction and injection device; and (3) adopting an injection molding method: making the raw materials gather in an injection metal mold with the porous plastic pipe as the axle center, and eventually filling fully the whole injection metal mold. The beneficial effects are that the activated carbon filter can effectively remove peculiar smell and free organic compounds in water, and also can remove trace heavy metals such as cadmium, lead, chromium and the like in a liquid; no activated carbon and other adsorption media fall off, and thus secondary pollution is effectively avoided; through a precise mesh-number matching of activated carbon, the removal rate of cryptosporidium is high; and the liquid flow rate is increased, and the resistance is decreased.
