Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a porous pre-sintered granule for a sintered reaction-bonded silicon nitride, to which a pressure forming technology can be applied to obtain a porous sintered reaction-bonded silicon nitride having high porosity and having a structure in which macropores and micropores coexist with each other, and to a porous pre-sintered granule manufactured by the method. The method includes the steps of: granulating a raw material comprising silicon and sintering additives including yttrium, aluminum and at least one alkali earth metal compound; and pre-sintering the granulated raw material at a temperature of 1300˜1375° C. under an inert atmosphere. According to the present invention, a porous pre-sintered granule for porous sintered reaction-bonded silicon nitride, which can increase the air permeability and trapping efficiency by controlling the size of a pore channel such that macropores and micropores coexist, can be manufactured.
