The invention relates to a preparation method of high 
flame retardant expansible 
graphite, which comprises the following steps: dissolving the 
graphite into a mixing solution of 
perchloric acid and concentrated 
nitric acid, wherein the dosage of the solution is 100-600% of the 
mass of the solution; oxidizing the 
graphite by using 
solid oxidant of which the dosage is 0.5-50% of the 
mass of the oxidant to obtain the primary expansible graphite, wherein the temperature of the expansible graphite is 20-80 DEG C, and the reaction time is 20-300min; dissolving tripolycyanamide or the derivants thereof and the 
solid oxidant into 
phosphoric acid of which the 
mass fraction is 85+ / -10% to form a 
phosphoric acid solution, wherein the dosage of the 
solid oxidant is 0.5-50% of the mass thereof, and the mass concentration of the tripolycyanamide or the derivants thereof of the formed 
phosphoric acid solution is 0.02-2g / ml; carrying out reaction of the primary expansible graphite and the phosphoric acid solution at the temperature of 20-80 DEG C for 20-300min to prepare the high 
flame retardant expansible graphite. The method has the advantages that the tripolycyanamide or the derivants thereof are inserted between the expansible graphite 
layers, thereby improving the expansibility, start expansion temperature and 
fire resistance of the expansible graphite, and can be widely used for the 
flame retardant of multiple materials such as plastic, rubber, paint, foam and the like.
