The invention discloses a chemical foaming method for preparing foamed concrete, which belongs to the technical field of building thermal insulation materials. The raw material composition and weight percentage of foam concrete are: cement 20-80wt%, ore powder 1-5wt%, fly ash 5-30wt%, foaming agent 1-6wt%, water 10-70wt%, modifier 0.2- 1.5wt%, fiber 0.2-1wt%, auxiliary material 1-8wt%. Its preparation method is to pour water into the container first, then put a certain amount of cement, ore powder, fly ash, and additives into the water, stir evenly with a stirrer, pour in foaming agent to mix and stir, and then quickly transfer After leaving the mixer, the foaming is completed within 30 minutes, and the strength is reached after 24 hours, and the formed foam concrete is obtained after 28 days of curing. The foamed concrete obtained by the invention has good water resistance, low thermal conductivity, low dry density, high strength, strong durability, simple formula and convenient construction; it can partially replace polystyrene board, extruded plastic board and rubber powder in the external wall insulation system Polystyrene particles and other organic insulation materials.
