The invention discloses a preparation method of hollow rod-like calcium carbonate. The preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, accurately weighing calcium oxide, dissolving the calcium oxide in water, carrying out heating, stirring and standing digesting, carrying out screening, removing residues, and concentrating the product to obtain raw material calcium hydroxide slurry, S2, transferring the prepared calcium hydroxide slurry into a reaction kettle, adding sodium D-gluconate into the prepared calcium hydroxide slurry according to the concentration molar ratio of the calcium hydroxide slurry, controlling the temperature and the rotating speed of the mixed solution, and introducing CO2 gas for reaction to obtain product slurry, and S3, carrying out suction filtration and washing on the product slurry, separating a solid product, carrying out vacuum drying on the separated solid product, taking out the product and grinding the product into powder to obtain hollow rod-likecalcium carbonate. The method has the advantages of easy control of reaction conditions, high yield, low production cost, novel morphology, narrow particle size range, stable quality, good product dispersibility, simple production equipment, environmental protection, strong operability and the like, is suitable for industrial production, and can be widely popularized and applied.
