The invention relates to a synthetic method of anionic polyacrylamide, which comprises the steps of adding distilled water, an acrylamide monomer, an acrylic monomer and sodium hydroxide powder to a reaction device in sequence, stirring uniformly until completely dissolving to form a monomer aqueous solution, adding appropriate solubilizer, chelating agent and initiator to the monomer aqueous solution, stirring uniformly, filling high-purity nitrogen into the reaction device, exhausting air in the reaction device, sealing the reaction device, placing in an ultraviolet light reaction device, initiating a polymerization reaction under the irradiation of ultraviolet light with certain wavelength, generating an anionic polyacrylamide colloid, purifying, washing and refining the colloid, drying in a vacuum drying oven, grinding, and obtaining anionic polyacrylamide. The method is simple in process, short in production cycle and few in procedure; the polymerization reaction is more stable, and easy to control; prepared polyacrylamide is large in molecular weight, high in conversion rate and solid content, good in dissolvability, and stable; and anionic polyacrylamide is high in DEHP (Di-2-Ethyl Hexyl Phthalate) removal rate.
