The invention discloses a pre-enrichment heavy liquid for extracting aluminum, lithium and gallium from fly ash and a pretreatment method, and relates to the technical field of resource utilization ofsolid waste fly ash. The pre-enrichment heavy liquid comprises bromoform and ethanol, and the density of the prepared heavy liquid is 1.8-2.4g/cm3. The pretreatment method comprises the processes ofheavy liquid preparation, centrifugal separation, filtration, atmospheric distillation, heavy liquid recovery and fly ash drying. The invention provides the method that fly ash is subjected to floating-sinking pretreatment and the fly ash is divided into two density grades. The selected heavy liquid is easy to prepare and can be recycled, the cost is saved without causing pollution to surroundingenvironment, and the content of aluminum, lithium and gallium in the high-density fly ash obtained by sorting is greatly increased; and at the same time, the treatment amount in the extraction processis reduced, the reasonable and efficient utilization of the fly ash can be realized, the method can be used for the pretreatment process of the fly ash when aluminum, lithium and gallium are extracted from the fly ash, and the effective enrichment of aluminum, lithium and gallium elements can be carried out.
