The invention relates to a balling method using medium- and low-grade phosphate rocks or ground phosphate rocks. The method comprises the following steps: S1, preparing materials, namely A, 85-100 parts of 60-120-mesh medium-grade and low-grade phosphate rocks or ground phosphate rocks, B, 1-10 parts of water or aqueous liquor of phosphoric acid, C, 2-8 parts of coke powder with the granularity of 60-120 meshes and D, 1-8 parts of one or more of phosphate fire clay, kaolin, sodium silicate, sodium carbonate, calcium carbonate and serpentine; S2, stirring, namely after uniformly mixing the raw materials, pressing the mixture into balls by use of a dry powder ball press machine, after pre-drying, delivering the mixture to a vertical calcining kiln, using purified yellow phosphorus tail gas, heating to 850-950 DEG C; starting roasting to obtain a finished product. The method is free from binders and low in cost, and the medium-grade and low-grade phosphate rocks are not hardened. The value of the medium-grade and low-grade phosphate rocks can be improved, and the ground phosphate rock of a mine can be fully utilized. The phosphate rock balls prepared are suitable for production of yellow phosphorus or calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizers.
