A method for forming ceramic hollow spheres. Ceramic micropowder, pore forming agent, sintering aid, dispersant and calcium salt are formulated into a uniform slurry in a certain proportion, and sodium alginate is precisely controlled by a precision peristaltic pump under heating and stirring in a water bath. The solution is added dropwise to solidify the slurry into balls. After all the slurry is formed into balls, it is filtered, dried, and then sintered into ceramic balls. The size of the obtained ceramic balls is controllable, the gap is adjustable, the roundness is good, and the quality is close to isostatic pressing. Technology, less equipment investment, easy operation, low cost, suitable for various ceramic materials into balls.
