The invention discloses a purifying agent for oilfield 
sewage treatment and a preparation method of the purifying agent, and belongs to the technical field of 
sewage treatment. The purifying agent isprepared from the following components in parts by weight: 22-28 parts of modified expanded 
graphite, 5-8 parts of 
cobalt nitrate hexahydrate, 12-16 parts of 
zinc sulfate, 5.5-9 parts of a surfactant,3-5 parts of 
chitosan, 2.5-5 parts of methylacryloyloxyethyl trimethyl 
ammonium chloride and 40-50 parts of water. According to the invention, through organic combination of all the materials, the 
sewage purifying agent is prepared under a synergistic effect of all the components, and the purifying agent has a large specific surface area, a large micropore volume, a developed microporous structure, high capability of adsorbing impurities such as heavy 
metal ions and 
suspended matter, and remarkable oil removal and decontamination effects. The removal rate of 
chemical oxygen demand (COD) is larger than or equal to 96.6%, the removal rate of 
suspended solids is larger than or equal to 97.2%, the oil removal rate is larger than or equal to 98%, and the removal rate of the heavy 
metal ions islarger than or equal to 94.7%. 
Purified water is clear and transparent, and requirements for purification treatment of the oilfield sewage are met.
