The invention discloses a method for preparing super absorbent resin with high potassium content by using carboxymethyl potato starch as the raw material, which comprises the following main processes: carrying out neutralization reaction between a potassium hydroxide (potassium carbonate) solution and acrylic acid from which polymerization inhibitor is removed under the cooling of ice-water bath;mixing carboxymethyl potato starch with de-ionized water; mixing the prepared acrylic acid and the sylvite solution thereof with the carboxymethyl potato starch solution; adding an evocating agent persulfate and a cross-linking agent N,'- methylene-bisacrylamide; stirring the mixture under room temperature; heating the mixture by water bath to rise the temperature to rise to ensure that the carboxymethyl potato starch and the acrylic acid and the sylvite thereof generate graft copolymerization reaction under the protection of nitrogen; keeping the temperature of the reaction; drying and crashing to obtain the super absorbent resin with high potassium content by using carboxymethyl potato starch as the raw material. Compared with the similar products, the water absorption of the super absorbent resin is greatly enhanced; the super absorbent resin contains higher content of potassium nutrition element and greatly improves the preparation process by not pasting the carboxymethyl potato starch. The super absorbent resin has great effect on the water conservation, the desert control, the plant growth promotion and the like of soil in dry regions.
