The invention discloses a method for improving safety of ignition paper preparation. The method comprises the following steps: determining the water contents of zirconium powder, barium chloride and potassium chromate, calculating the drying weights of the zirconium powder, the barium chloride and the potassium chromate, and respectively dissolving the barium chloride and the potassium chromate into distilled water so as to obtain a barium chloride solution and a potassium chromate solution; crushing loose asbestos paper into asbestos paper pulp, adding the zirconium powder, uniformly stirringto obtain a mixed solution, sequentially and slowly adding the potassium chromate solution and the barium chloride solution, transferring the mixture into a suction filtration device, standing, and drying to obtain ignition paper. According to the invention, the use safety of the zirconium powder can be effectively ensured, the barium chloride and the potassium chromate are directly used, the pre-treatment of dangerous raw materials is avoided, the contact time of operators and toxic and harmful chemical products is shortened, the production operation safety is improved, the working efficiency of an operator is improved, the energy consumption can be reduced, the preparation working time of each batch of ignition paper is reduced by 24 hours from 68 hours, the electric energy consumptionis reduced from 544 kW * h to 192 kW * h.
