The invention relates to a magnesia carbon 
brick and a preparation method thereof. The magnesia carbon 
brick is prepared from, by weight, 60%-75% of fused 
magnesite particles, 10%-30% of fused 
magnesite fine powder, 5%-10% of carbon, 1%-5% of an 
antioxidant, 1%-3% of a binding agent and 0.4%-1% of 
furfural waste liquid. In the preparation process, the fused 
magnesite particles are placed in a mixing mill to be dry-mixed for 2-15 min, then phenolic resin and the 
furfural waste liquid are added to continue to be mixed for 5-15 min, then carbon is added to the mixture, mixing is carried out for 5-15 min, finally the fused magnesite 
fine powder and the 
antioxidant are added to continue to be mixed for 8-15 min, pug is formed, the rotating speed of the mixing mill is set to range from 950 r / min to 1,000 r / min, mixing time ranges from 10 min to 60 min, and the magnesia carbon 
brick is prepared after compression moulding and 
drying solidification. The preparation method is simple, the steps are easy to operate, the uniformity of 
mixed materials of the magnesia carbon brick is improved, the quality of the 
mixed materials of the magnesia carbon brick is improved, the labor intensity of workers is lowered, the use amount of phenolic resin is reduced, and due to the addition of the 
furfural waste liquid, the material mixing process is more even, and phenolic resin is prevented from being caked.
