The invention provides a magnetic separation-membrane distillation device for purifying sewage and recycling useful components and application of the magnetic separation-membrane distillation device,and belongs to the technical field of sewage resource utilization. The device comprises a high gradient magnetic separator, a liquid storage tank, a magnetic pump a, a constant temperature heating water bath kettle, a rotor flow meter a, a membrane component, a rotor flow meter b, a low-temperature constant temperature water tank, a magnetic pump b, a produced water collecting device and a membrane distillation water discharge tank. Flocculants and magnetic seeds are put in sewage, then the sewage is pretreated by adopting a high-gradient magnetic separation technology, and then, the sewage isdelivered into the membrane component to be subjected to membrane distillation treatment. The magnetic separation-membrane distillation device and the application thereof provided by the invention can solve the problem of environmental pollution caused by sewage discharge and can realize recycling of the useful components, and the magnetic separation-membrane distillation device has the advantages of low energy consumption, high efficiency, simple equipment, big processing capacity and the like.
