The invention relates to a light-weight block prepared by taking 'phosphorus solid waste' as a raw material and a preparation method of the light-weight block. The light-weight block and the method solve the problems of complicated technology, high energy consumption, long production period, low production cost and low waste utilization rate of the existing light-weight block preparation. The light-weight block is prepared by taking 55-65 parts of phosphorus tailing, 10-15 parts of carbide slag, 10-20 parts of salic active mineral admixture, 2-3 parts of phosphogypsum, 6-8 parts of cement and 3-5 parts of additive as raw materials, and carrying out crushing, wet ball milling, stirring, forming, gas forming, trimming, and steam pressing. The block is simple to construct, has a high waste utilization rate, can effectively stimulate potential activity of phosphorus tailings, saves energy, reduces consumption, and is environmentally friendly, low in production cost, low in cost, and outstanding in performance, and the raw materials are not required to be pre-dried, and are easy to obtain.
