The invention provides method and equipment for refining of thionyl chloride. A gas mixture generated from a thionyl chloride synthesis kettle is subjected to two steps of sulfur mixing reaction in the process of purifying; particularly, the two steps of sulfur mixing reaction includes firstly, directly introducing the gas mixture discharged from the thionyl chloride synthesis kettle into a firstsulfur mixing kettle for realizing sulfuration, and purifying sulfuretted gas mixture through condensing and degassing to obtain crude thionyl chloride product; secondly, arranging a secondary sulfuration bed on the top of a rectifying apparatus, rectifying and purifying the crude thionyl chloride product for secondary sulfuration, and arranging catalysts in the secondary sulfuration bed. Since the gas discharged from the thionyl chloride synthesis kettle is of high temperature, heating before sulfur mixing reaction is omitted, equipment input is reduced, and decomposition of thionyl chlorideduring heating is reduced; besides, sulfur and drying agents are mixed and added, the circumstance of introducing moisture along with adding of sulfur is avoided, content of impurity of products is reduced, non-condensable gas in the production process is extracted fully, and utilization rate of raw materials is increased.
