The invention relates to a method for preparing calcium phosphite from industrial sodium hypophosphite waste residues. According to the technical scheme, the method comprises the following steps: firstly, reacting the sodium hypophosphite waste residues, water and sodium carbonate, and separating to prepare a filter cake I and filter liquor I; secondly, reacting the filter cake I with hydrochloric acid, and separating to prepare filter liquor II; thirdly, enabling the filter liquor I to pass through an active carbon adsorption system, adding the filter liquor I and the filter liquor II into a continuous reaction crystallizer, ageing, separating and drying to obtain calcium phosphite crystals with the purity of more than 99.0% and crystal mother liquor II; and finally, evaporating and crystallizing the crystal mother liquor II to obtain crude sodium chloride salt and crystal mother liquor III, and returning the crystal mother liquor III to the reaction crystallizer for circulation. According to the method, a continuous reaction crystallization process is adopted, calcium phosphite is prepared from the industrial byproducts-sodium hypophosphite waste residues used as raw materials, the sodium hypophosphite waste residues are recycled during solid waste treatment, and waste liquid is not generated in a production process; moreover, the method has the advantages that the process is simple, the operating condition is mild, the energy consumption is low, the product quality is stable, the industrialization is facilitated, and the like.
