The invention provides a zirconium mullite sagger which comprises the following raw materials: natural mullite, tabular corundum, zircon sand, alpha-alumina micro powder, silicon dioxide micro powder, kaolin and a binding agent, wherein the natural mullite consists of mullite granules of which the particle size is within 0.5-1 mm and mullite powder granules of which the particle size is smaller than 0.5 mm; the mass ratio of the mullite granules to the mullite powder granules is (3-4):(6-8); the tabular corundum consists of tabular corundum granules of which the particle size is within 0.1-0.5 mm and tabular corundum powder granules of which the particle size is smaller than 0.1 mm; the mass ratio of the tabular corundum granules to the tabular corundum powder granules is (4-5):(3-4); the particle size of the zircon sand is less than 0.1 mm. The zirconium mullite sagger has the advantages of corrosion resistance and freedom of falling residues, the materials are small in heat capacity and thermal expansion, and the circulation use number is large.
