The invention relates to a method for producing a building material from solid wastes, in particular to a method for producing a porous shale sintering brick from crystal solid waste shale coal gangue. According to the method, crystal solid waste shale is used, coal gangue tailings are added in proportion, the mixture is crushed and strongly stirred, crystal wastewater is added during stirring and uniformly mixed, raw materials are sent into a storage chamber for plasticity treatment and can be sent into a strong stirrer by a grab machine and a conveyor and then sent into a hard-plastic extruder after being stirred to form various porous building blocks, the building blocks are sent into a special drying kiln by a ferry vehicle to be preheated, the mixture forms a porous brick, and the porous brick enters a calcining kiln to be calcined after being dried. The porous shale sintering brick has high strength, good durability, standard size, complete outline, uniform color and luster and as well as primitive, plain and natural appearance, can be used for a dry wall, and can also be used for any external decoration. Thus, the porous shale sintering brick replacing a clay brick is an upgraded new building material product with great development prospect.
