The invention relates to 
silicon smelting waste residue foam 
microcrystalline glass and a preparation method thereof. The glass takes 
silicon smelting waste residue as a main 
raw material, and takes SiO2, CaCO3, Na2CO3, ZnO, K2CO3 and other additives and clarifying agents as auxiliary materials. The preparation method comprises the following steps: uniformly mixing the cold 
silicon residue and the auxiliary materials in a mixer, and melting at a high temperature in a 
melting furnace to obtain a qualified glass solution; cooling the glass solution to obtain base glass; smashing the base glass, and thoroughly mixing with a 
foaming agent, a foam stabilizer and regulation components to form a 
sintering batch; and feeding the 
sintering batch into a combined mold, then integrally transferring the 
sintering batch into a heat treatment 
kiln together with the mold, firing, annealing, cooling, and demolding to obtain the foam 
microcrystalline glass. According to the invention, the foam 
microcrystalline glass is light in weight and resistant to wear and acid / alkali 
corrosion, can keep warm, has favorable 
machinability, and can be widely used for heat insulation and warm keeping of pipelines, storage tanks and heat exchange systems in the fields of 
chemical industry, 
metallurgy, architectural decoration, 
petroleum, mines, machinery and the like as well as composite heat insulation systems and sound insulation / absorption systems working under special conditions.
