The invention discloses a method for extracting juglone from walnut green husk residue by microwave reflux, which ueses chloroform solvent for extraction by a microwave reflux extraction method, preferably adopting walnut epicarpe (green husk) residue with higher juglone content and can be obtained easily as raw materials for extraction. The method is carried out under the optimal extraction condition that the solid-to-liquid ratio of walnut green husk with average grain size of 50 mesh to the chloroform solvent is between 1:5 and 1:8, and comprises the steps of: subjecting walnut green husk residue to extraction and pumping filtration at soft fire in microwave power level and washing the filter residue with solvent to obtain juglone extraction liquid, collecting all solutions, and preparing the juglone by decompression, rotary evaporation and concentration. After all index measurements, the extraction ratio of the juglone is 92%, the purity of product is 81.5%, and the product yield is 0.20%. The method is rapid and convenient, and has high extraction ratio, and devices in the method are easy to operate, have low energy consumption, consume less solvents which are easy to be recovered, and are suitable for the expanded production in factories. Meanwhile, the problem that juglone is heated and decomposed in a traditional method can be effectively avoided, which guarantees the effectiveness of extractives. The method satisfies the environmental protection and industrialization demands. The extracted juglone can be widely applied, and active ingredients in the juglone have the effects of antibacterial, anticancer and sedation of central nervous system, and have wide application prospects in such fields as medicine, pesticide, dye, pH indicator and the like.
