The invention discloses a method for preparing pigment-grade chromium oxide green directly from chromic hydroxide. The method comprises the steps of grinding and mixing chromic hydroxide and a certain quantity of additives, activating and sintering a mixture for 0.5 to 3 hours at a temperature between 800 and 1,100 DEG C, washing, drying and grading the mixture so as to obtain the pigment-grade chromium oxide green, wherein the chromic hydroxide can be obtained from the prior industrial production and various types of waste (waste residue and wastewater), or can be obtained by a low-temperature hydrogen reduction method in a patent (application number: 200510089010.8), and the additives are silicon compounds, titanium compounds, boron compounds, phosphorus compounds, aluminum compounds, barium compounds, zinc compounds and other compounds, such as SiO2, K2SiO3, Na2SiO3, TiO2, K2TiO3, B2O3, H2BO3, H3PO4, P2O3, Al2O3, Al(OH)3, Al2(SO4)3, AlCl3, Al(NO3)3, BaO, Ba(OH)2, BaSO4, BaCl2, Ba(NO3)2, ZnO, ZnCl2, ZnSO4, Zn(NO)3, Sb2O3, NiO, Ni(OH)2, CoO, Co(OH)2 and other substances. After the chromic hydroxide is activated and sintered at a temperature between 700 and 1,300 DEG C in an air atmosphere, the alkali-metal content of obtained chromium oxide is less than 0.3 percent, and cannot influence the properties of the pigment-grade chromium oxide green.
