The invention specifically relates to a mullite lightweight heat-insulating brick and a preparation method thereof. The technical solution is: the raw material and content of the mullite lightweight heat-insulating brick are: 40-48wt% of coke gemstone, 14-38wt% of kyanite, 6-16wt% of clay, α-Al 2 o 3 The micro powder is 14-24wt%; the binder is 15-20wt% of the raw material, and the pore-forming agent is 45-60wt% of the raw material. According to the content of the above-mentioned raw materials, binders and pore-forming agents, the α-Al 2 o 3 Mix micropowder with pore-forming agent, wet mill for 8-10 hours to obtain homogeneous mud; then stir homogeneous mud, burnt gemstone, kyanite, clay and binder evenly, trap material, shape, bake, Keep warm for 3~5h under the condition of ℃ to get mullite lightweight insulation brick. The invention saves resources, has a simple process and is environmentally friendly, and the prepared mullite lightweight heat-insulating brick has good thermal stability, low thermal conductivity, small bulk density, low linear shrinkage after firing, high compressive strength and heat insulation. The effect is good.
