The invention relates to a cyanide-containing sewage multi-effect vacuum evaporation recovery method and a cyanide-containing sewage multi-effect vacuum evaporation recovery device. The cyanide-containing sewage multi-effect vacuum evaporation recovery method comprises the following steps: firstly, cyanide-containing sewage and sulfuric acid are sucked and escaped into a cyanide reaction tower under the action of vacuum negative pressure; secondly, when the cyanide-containing sewage is sprayed and declined from the upper part, hydrocyanic acid is evaporated and escaped from the sewage and separated out under the action of vacuum suction, sucked into a vacuum system, fully mixed with lye and absorbed, and subjected to chemical reaction to generate liquid sodium cyanide; and thirdly, the generated sodium cyanide is returned back to the process of cyanidation and gold extraction and reutilized. The method has simple technological process, performs one-off multi-effect vacuum evaporation recovery, has the recovery rate of 99 percent, solves the problems of high processing cost and easy generation of secondary pollution in the prior cyanide-containing sewage treatment process, achieves the aim of changing waste into valuable, directly recovers and reutilizes the cyanide-containing sewage, greatly saves the cost, and is energy-saving and environment-friendly.
