The generated electric porcelain waste increases with the rapid development of the electric porcelain industry. Unreasonable utilization results in the waste of resources and environmental pollution. However, at present, many coal gangues and fly ashes are wasted and underutilized in my country. In this paper, electric porcelain waste is used as the main raw material, and its sintering temperature, holding time, and heating rate are discussed to study the performance of the permeable brick prepared from electric porcelain waste. Results show that with the increase in sintering temperature, the porosity and water permeability coefficient of permeable bricks decrease, and their volume shrinkage rate and compressive strength show an increasing trend. Furthermore, porosity decreases with the increase in holding time. The volume shrinkage rate and compressive strength increase, and the water permeability coefficient decreases. The volume shrinkage rate of the permeable brick decreases, and its porosity, water permeability coefficient, and compressive strength increase with the heating rate. Combined with the comprehensive consideration of the porosity, volume shrinkage rate, water permeability coefficient, and compressive strength of permeable bricks, the best sintering process for preparing permeable bricks from electrical porcelain waste is presented with a sintering temperature of 1225 °C, holding time of 1 h, and heating rate of 6 °C/min. The porosity of the prepared permeable brick is 79.5%, the volume shrinkage rate is 25.79%, the water permeability coefficient is 2.82×10^-2 cm/s, and the compressive strength is 5.79 MPa
