The invention discloses a 
porous carbon preform for reactive 
sintering, as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The 
porous carbon preform is obtained by taking 
charcoal powder as a 
carbon source, taking lignocellulose as a pore-forming agent, taking a modified 
polyester type high molecular compound as a dispersant, taking 
camphene as a dispersion medium, adding a certain amount of ethyl 
ether, performing constant-temperature ball milling at the temperature of 55 DEG C to obtain material 
slurry, performing vacuum degassing, then pouring and forming the material 
slurry at 
room temperature, subliming till constant weight, and carrying out biscuit firing at the temperature of 900-1550 DEG C for 0.5-2h. The 
porous carbon preform prepared by the method disclosed by the invention has the advantages of controllable density and 
porosity, uniform pore structure, no defects and the like, and has great reactive 
sintering performance; reaction sintered 
silicon carbide generated by high-temperature 
silicon impregnation reaction has no black cores, 
cracking, 
delamination and other defects, and has good mechanical properties.
