The invention relates to a preparation method of a far infrared antibacterial ceramic in the field of building materials. The method includes: compounding vanadium-titanium waste residue, bastnaesite, monezite, xenotime, Minjiang clay, quartzite, calcite, sepiolite, kaolinite and limestone according to a formula, adding a mud cosolvent and performing wet ball milling treatment, carrying out spray granulation, dry pressing, demoulding and drying, and then conducting firing so as to obtain the far infrared antibacterial ceramic product. The formula comprises, by mass percentage: 20-50% of vanadium-titanium waste residue, 3-5% of bastnaesite, 2-4% of monezite, 2-6% of xenotime, 10-30% of Minjiang clay, 15-45% of quartzite, 5-15% of calcite, 2-6% of sepiolite, 2-10% of kaolinite, and 4-8% of limestone. The far infrared antibacterial ceramic prepared by the method provided by the invention has the advantages of high infrared emissivity, good sterilizing effect, high ceramic strength and low cost.
