The invention discloses a preparation method of a vanadium-doped tailings inorganic-foam thermal-insulation material for buildings, which comprises the following steps of dispersing vanadium tailings powder, polypropylene fibers, fly ash, common Portland cement, calcium stearate and triethanolamine in water so as to obtain non-foamed slurry; and adding hydrogen peroxide with a mass concentration of 30% into the non-foamed slurry, molding obtained pre-formed slurry by casting, and carrying out maintenance, demoulding and cutting on the obtained product so as to obtain the vanadium-doped tailings inorganic-foam thermal-insulation material for buildings. The heat transfer capability of the thermal-insulation material for buildings is reduced by over 100% in comparison with common wall bodies, so that the total thickness and total weight of a wall body can both be reduced by over 60%, thereby solving a bottleneck problem that current materials for wall bodies for housing industrialization are inconvenient to install. According to the invention, by controlling the adding amount and stirring time and strength of the hydrogen peroxide, the foaming effect is controlled, the coefficient of thermal conductivity is reduced, and the heat preservation effect is enhanced; by taking an early strength agent and an accelerator as anti-collapse agents, the rejection rate is reduced, and a novel vanadium-doped tailings inorganic-foam thermal-insulation material for buildings is prepared.
