The invention discloses a preparation method of special talc powder for a coating pigment, and belongs to the technical field of pigment additives. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly heating, carrying out pressurization and stirring the talc powder, phospholipid and water, and then performing filtering, washing, drying and calcination to obtain pretreated talc powder; carrying out ball-milling and mixing the pretreated talc powder and an inorganic strong acid solution to obtain a ball abrasive, filtering the ball abrasive, and performing washing and drying to obtainball-mill modified talcum powder; and ultrasonically dispersing the ball-milled modified talc powder, polyvinylpyrrolidone and water to obtain dispersion liquid, dropwise adding tetraethyl orthosilicate to the dispersion liquid under stirring, after dropwise adding tetraethyl orthosilicate, continuously stirring, discharging, filtering, washing and drying to obtain coated modified talcum powder; calcining the obtained coated modified talc powder, cooling with a furnace, and discharging, thereby obtaining the special talcum powder for the coating pigment. The special talc powder for the coatingpigment prepared by the technical scheme of the invention has the characteristics of low viscosity and high wettability.
