The invention discloses a method for preparing a 
barium zirconate crucible by slip 
casting, comprising the following steps: a) calcining a commercial 
barium zirconate powder; b) carrying out ball milling on the calcined 
powder for 24h and 
drying for later use; c) adding 
distilled water and a solution of Arabic gum into the dried 
powder, mixing for 2-5h, sieving through a 200-mesh 
sieve, and removing 
large particle impurities in the 
slurry; d) injecting the 
slurry into a plaster mold until a certain thickness is reached, pouring out the residual 
slurry, placing the plaster mold in the air, demoulding, pouring out a biscuit, 
drying in an environment of 30-40 DEG C, carrying out fettling, and naturally 
drying; and 3) heating at the rate of 1-20 DEG C / min to 1600-1800 DEG C, and carrying out 
thermal insulation for 2-12 h so as to obtain the 
barium zirconate crucible. The invention has advantages as follows: raw materials are cheap and easily available; the technology is simple; costs are low; and the method is suitable for large-scale production. The prepared 
barium zirconate crucible has characteristics of high strength, high 
thermal shock resistance, 
high density and the like, can be used in a high-temperature environment, and provides a good material foundation for 
crystal growth and other applications.
