The invention discloses a degradable gemini 
quaternary ammonium salt bactericide and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises steps as follows: Step one, N,N-dimethyl 
glycine, long-chain 
fatty alcohol (
carbon atom numbers are 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18) and 
benzyl alcohol have an 
esterification reaction in the presence of a 
coupling reagent to produce corresponding N,N-dimethyl 
glycine ester; Step two, the obtained N,N-dimethyl 
glycine ester and 
hydrogen chloride, 
hydrogen bromide or 
hydrogen iodide react to produce corresponding salt; Step three, products obtained in previous two steps and 
epichlorohydrin are subjected to quaternization, and degradable gemini 
quaternary ammonium salt is obtained. The gemini 
quaternary ammonium salt is more beneficial to adsorption of bacterium surfaces by bactericide molecules due to the 
electrostatic interaction of two quaternary 
nitrogen ions contained in molecules and the induction of carbonyl groups in ester groups, so that 
bacteria are broken through change of permeability of 
cell walls; hydrophilic groups and hydrophobic groups extend into lipoid 
layers and 
protein layers of bacterium cells more conveniently to cause 
protein denaturation and 
enzyme deactivation. The bactericide has higher bactericidal ability under the synergistic effect. The gemini quaternary ammonium salt bactericide is efficient, low in 
toxicity, easily degradable and environment-friendly.
