The invention is a method for producing sodium hypophosphite, which is characterized in that the process steps include batching, reaction, filtration, first concentration, adjustment, second concentration, cooling and crystallization, and centrifugal packaging. Advantages: Put the measured liquid caustic soda into the lime milk tank, mix it with water and quicklime, and pump it into the reaction kettle together. In this way, it is not necessary to disassemble the liquid alkali pipeline frequently, thereby reducing the unfavorable factors affecting normal production; the reactor is emptied with nitrogen, which should be evacuated with steam, which is easy to operate and does not require additional equipment; replace the old-fashioned plate with a diaphragm press filter Frame filter. The water content of the filter cake is reduced from 45-50% to 35-40%, and the filter cake content of 1-1.5% sodium hypophosphite is reduced to 0.4-0.8%. The reduction of the water content of the filter cake not only improves the recovery rate of sodium hypophosphite, but also improves the operating conditions of slag unloading; the ratio of yellow phosphorus per kettle is changed from 90 to 100kg to 150kg, which greatly increases the output of a single device.
