The invention discloses a preparation method of foam glass, relating to the technical field of building materials. The preparation method adopts the following raw materials in parts by weight: cathode-ray tube, pearlite, calcium carbonate, mirabilite, foaming accelerant, foam stabilizer and borax. The preparation method comprises the following steps: A, separating a glass shell of the cathode-ray tube; B, mixing the glass shell, the perlite, the calcium carbonate, the mirabilite and the borax to obtain a mixture, and grinding the mixture in a ball mill to obtain powder; C, filtering the powder by virtue of a screen; D, uniformly mixing the powder, the foaming accelerant and the foam stabilizer, and placing the mixture into a mold; E, placing the mold into a kiln, and preheating; F, after the preheating is ended, heating the kiln; and G, annealing the kiln, and taking out the mold after the annealing. Compared with the prior art, the problem of environmental pollution caused by the abandoned waste cathode-ray tube can be solved.
