The invention discloses a luminescent material of aluminate and a process for preparation. The material employs ionic water to prepare chloridate solution of Al and aqua fortis solution of Eu and Dy, mixes NH4HCO3 solution to deposit, after being heated and stirred, forms gel, scours and separates the gel and adds analytical pure SrO, after ultrasonically vibrating, stirring and hydrothermal reaction, mixing in H3BO3 solution , after drying sintering, luminescent material is obtained. The general formula is M (4-x-y), OmAl14 O25: Eux, REy, wherein x=0.001-0.08, y=0.001-0.08, M is strontium and RE is dysprosium. Compared with the prior art, the luminescent material of aluminate of the invention has the advantages of high luminous efficiency, long afterglow time, low energy consumption and short preparing circle, besides, the sintering of high temperature method is not serious, the particles are small and uniform. Compared with luminescence by co-precipitation method, the luminous efficiency is high, the afterglow time is long and the crystalling phase is pure.
