The invention discloses a water-soluble degradable environment-friendly quenching agent. The water-soluble degradable environment-friendly quenching agent comprises, by weight, 2-6 parts of glycerin, 4-8 parts of rhamnolipid, 6-10 parts of oxalic acid, 2-4 parts of butyl hydroxy anisd, 8-12 parts of colza oil, 11-17 parts of cyclodextrin, 6-10 parts of pine oil, 15-25 parts of crylic acid, 7-8 parts of cane sugar, 0.5-0.8 part of 2-thioketone-tris-hydroxymethyl benzothiazoline and 10-20 parts of shell powder. Firstly, the oxalic acid, the butyl hydroxy anisd and the pine oil are dissolved in the glycerin, mixed liquid is obtained, then water is added, and the mixed liquid is transferred into a reaction kettle; after the reaction is finished, cooling is conducted, the rhamnolipid, the colza oil, the cyclodextrin and the cane sugar are added, and standing is conducted after stirring is conducted for 10 min; and then centrifuging is conducted, the supernate is taken after centrifuging, the crylic acid, the 2-thioketone-tris-hydroxymethyl benzothiazoline and the shell powder are added, after uniform stirring, paraffin wax oil is used for sealing after temperature rising, heat preservation and cooling, and the water-soluble degradable environment-friendly quenching agent is obtained. The prepared quenching agent has good water solubility, and is ecologically degraded, and pollution to the environment is weak.
