The invention relates to a building material and a preparation process thereof, and in particular relates to a heat insulation brick containing ceramsites and a preparation method thereof. The technical scheme of the invention is as follows: a ceramsite heat insulation brick is provided. The ceramsite heat insulation brick comprises the following raw material in parts by weight: 20-40 parts of ceramsite, 20-40 parts of steel furnace slag, 5-10 parts of fluorite tailings, 8-9 parts of coal ash, 5-10 parts of white mud and 1-3 parts of activating agent. The ceramsite heat insulation brick has the beneficial effects that 1, if the brick disclosed by the invention is used in a building to build a wall body, the self-weight of the building is reduced by about 30% as compared with the traditional clay brick, basic building cost of a foundation is reduced, and project cost is reduced; 2, compression strength is high; 3, heat insulation, heat isolation and sound isolation properties are good;4, the brick has fire-resistant and seismic performance and is good in durability; and 5, the brick does not crack and is good in frost resisting property. The heat insulation brick is strong in practicability when in use; and because the heat insulation brick is light and high in strength, construction efficiency is high, and the heat insulation brick is suitable for various building structures.
