The invention relates to a process for synthesizing calcium zirconate by a liquid-phase and solid-phase mixed calcination method. The process comprises the following steps of: 1, mixing zirconium carbonate or zirconium hydroxide and CaCO3 or Ca (OH) 2 in a metallic oxide molar ratio of 1:1.0-1.2 by using refined water; 2, performing centrifugal separation and dehydration on the slurry; 3, loading the dehydrated mixture into a quartz crucible, feeding the quartz crucible into a tunnel kiln of which the central highest temperature is between 850 and 1,200 DEG C, and slowly warming up; and 4, discharging, cooling, crushing, and packing to obtain finished products. The moisture content of the dehydrated materials is between 40 and 50 percent. By the process, the defects of nonuniform mixing, incomplete reaction, nonuniform particles and super high energy consumption by a dry method are overcome, and the process problems of difficulty in cleaning impurities, a large amount of wastewater, drying and the like by a wet method are solved. The whole production process has short flow and simple equipment, is easy to operate and control, is suitable for large-scale production, and has high product quality and lower cost.
