The invention discloses a dearsenication method of arsenic-containing soot in a pyrogenic smelting process of lead, copper, tin or the like. The method comprises the following steps: calculating the amounts of concentrated sulfuric acid and coal powder required by each ton of soot according to the arsenic content according to the following components in percentage by weight: 1% of As, 0.10-1.50% of concentrated sulfuric acid and 0.10-0.50% of coal powder; and evenly mixing the soot, concentrated sulfuric acid and coal powder; reduction roasting: adding the prepared raw materials into an electrothermal converter, starting a dust collection blower, heating to 300-450 DEG C, carrying out rotary roasting for 1.5-3 hours, and discharging; and leaching the dearsenicated roasted product in an indium recovery system to leach zinc and indium, and extracting to recover the indium. The reduction roasting is adopted to directly convert the arsenic into the finished product arsenic white, thereby avoiding the problem of stacking of the arsenic-containing slag and eliminating the hidden danger of environmental protection caused by stacking of the arsenic-containing slag. By adopting the sulfating roasting, the indium can be conveniently recovered, the leaching rate of the acidified soot is enhanced, and the recovery rate of indium can reach 95% above.
