The invention discloses gray iron casting moulding sand which is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 250-280 parts by weight of quartz sand, 40-45 parts by weight of sepiolite, 160-170 parts by weight of loess, 30-35 parts by weight of shell powder, 20-25 parts by weight of titanium dioxide, 40-45 parts by weight of grass meal, 2-3 parts by weight of acrylic emulsion, 30-40 parts by weight of silicon carbide, 10-15 parts by weight of pulverized coal, 50-60 parts by weight of gypsum, 3-4 parts by weight of zinc stearate, 10-15 parts by weight of bentonite, 3-4 parts by weight of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, 4-5 parts by weight of sodium bicarbonate, 2-3 parts by weight of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, 4-6 parts by weight of urea, 10-12 parts by weight of flour, 40-45 parts by weight of wood-bamboo powder and a proper amount of water. The sepiolite, the loess, the bentonite and the like are calcined, thus the gray iron casting moulding sand has excellent plasticity and caking property; by using the shell powder, the grass meal, the wood-bamboo powder and the like, the air permeability is increased; by using the titanium dioxide, the dispersity is increased and the high-temperature collapsibility is good; by using the pulverized coal, the surface of a casting is bright. The yield of the casting is increased.
