The invention relates to a regeneration method for sulphureous alkali residues comprises three parts, namely, SO2 acidification of the alkali residues, extraction and recycling of petroleum acid, and causticization and regeneration, wherein SO2 used in the step of SO2 acidification is SO2-containing gas from a Klaus sulfur production device, meanwhile tail gas of the Klaus sulfur production device is introduced as carrier gas, and acidification is stopped when the pH of acidulous water generated by acidification reaches 2-4. Three phases, including gas, oil and water, are generated in the acidification process, wherein the gas enters the Klaus sulfur production device so as to separate and recycle acid oil, and the water phase is subjected to solvent extraction so as to recycle petroleum acid, and then is causticized with Ca(OH)2 and precipitated to separate calcium sulfite to generate a sodium hydroxide solution which is recycled as alkali liquor for alkali washing of oil. The method provided by the invention has the advantages that the investment is low, the operation condition is mild, sulfide, petroleum acid and sodium ions can be recycled, no odorous gas is discharged, no high-concentration or high-salinity waste liquor flows into a sewage disposal station, and certain economic benefits are achieved.
