The invention relates to a zircon mullite brick for a cement kiln and a preparation method thereof. According to the technical scheme, by weight, 58-75% of particles, 3-20% of zircon mullite fine powder, 3-10% of Guangxi white clay fine powder, 1-3% of Ti3AlC2/Ti3SiC2 composite powder, 2-7% of monatomic silicon fine powder, 3-15% of raw bauxite micro powder and 0.5-1.0% of zirconium boride fine powder are adopted as a raw material A, cerium chloride accounting for 0.5-2% of the raw material A by weight and sulfite lye accounting for 3-8% of the raw material A by weight are additionally added,stirring, forming and drying are performed, the temperature of 1,400-1,600 DEG C is kept constant for 2-8 h, and the zircon mullite brick for the cement kiln is obtained. According to the particles, kyanite tailing fine powder or gangue fine powder are adopted as a raw material B, yttrium oxide fine powder accounting for 0.5-2% of the raw material B by weight and sulfite lye accounting for 4-6% ofthe raw material B by weight are additionally added, uniform mixing, forming and drying are performed, the temperature of 1,300-1,500 DEG C is kept constant for 3-9 h, and cooling and breaking are performed to obtain the particles. The cost is low, and the prepared zircon mullite brick for the cement kiln is good in abrasion resistance, low in heat conductivity coefficient, good in thermal shockresistance and good in corrosion resistance.
