The invention relates to a resource utilization method of waste residues generated by 1-nitroanthraquinone production by a solvent method, which comprises the steps that: the waste residues are added with water and are crushed, sulphite or hydrosulphite is added for taking reaction for 2 to 5 hours at 96 to 105 DEG C, the mass ratio of the waste residues to the water is 1/3 to 10, the mass ratio of the waste residues to the sulphite (or the hydrosulphite) is 1/0.3 to 0.7, the temperature reduction and the filtration are carried out after the reaction completion, filter cake is washed by hot water, beta-bit nitroanthraquinone isomers are removed, the filter cake is dried to obtain mixed nitroanthraquinone (mixed nitro, for short), the dried mixed nitro and solvents are heated to 90 to 160 DEG C, the ratio of the mass to the solvent volume of the mixed nitro is 1kg/7 to 15L, the heat is preserved for about 1 hour, the mixed materials are filtered in the hot state, the filter cake is a component B, methanol is used for washing away the solvents, the drying is carried out, the main ingredients of the component B are 1,5-dinitroanthraquinone, 1,8-dinitroanthraquinone and anthraquinone, the filter liquid solvents are added with water again, after the solvents are recovered by a water vapor distillation method, a component A is filtered out, and the main ingredient of the component A is 1-nitroanthraquinone.
