The invention provides a method for preparing ferronickel byproduct active smelting electric furnace grain slag through red mud and nickel laterite ore. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps that 1, proportioning is carried out, specifically, raw materials include the red mud, the nickel laterite ore, coke powder and lime; and 2, reduction smelting of a smelting electric furnace is carried out, specifically, clusters formed through the raw materials prepared in the step 1 are conveyed into the smelting electric furnace for reduction smelting, slag and iron separation is completed through slag pre-making, melting and reduction, a furnace slag layer is formed, the furnace slag is discharged out of a slag opening regularly and subjected to water quenching or air-cooling pelletization, and the active smelting electric furnace grain slag is obtained. The smelting electric furnace grain slag prepared through the method can serve as a mixed material applied in the cement production process, the cement performance is improved, the variety and labels of cement products are adjusted, and the production cost is reduced; and meanwhile, the slag can be used for producing a concrete admixture independently or by being combined with other raw concrete admixture materials, and the resource utilization of the ferronickel byproduct active smelting electric furnace grain slag prepared through the red mud and the nickel laterite ore is effectively achieved.
