The invention discloses a light-weight aggregate shale ceramic particle and a production method thereof, which includes powdered argillaceous shale, pulverized fuel ash, additive and water; the ratio of the ingredients is that: 15-90 parts of powdered argillaceous shale, 5-60 parts of pulverized fuel ash, 1-12 parts of additive and 4-15 parts of water. The production method includes the conventional collection of argillaceous shale and the crashing process, besides, the invention also comprises the following steps: (1)screening; (2) the mixing materials is prepared; (3) the mixing material is added into a marble machine so as to produce raw meal pellets and is discharged; (4) the raw meal pellets are fed into a multi-cylinder rotary kiln for drying and sintering and finally the shale ceramic particles are formed; (5) the products of shale ceramic particles, ceramic sand and ceramic block can be obtained after the cooling and the sizing screening process by a trommel screen. The product is sintered in a multi-cylinder rotary kiln at temperature of 1150-1200 DEG C and the material property is changed and is sound-insulating, light in weight, shock-resistant, weather-resistant, and corrosion-resistant, has distinct energy-saving effect and is beneficial to generalization and implementation.
