The invention relates to a method for zinc raw material dechlorination in zinc hydrometallurgy. The method comprises the following steps: 1, ball-grinding: ball-grinding raw materials into a slurry with a particle size of less than 80 meshes; 2, washing: adding water to the slurry, washing, filtering, allowing a filtrate to enter into a zinc precipitation process, and allowing a filter residue toenter into a neutral leaching process; 3, precipitating zinc: adding a zinc precipitant to the filtrate obtained in step 2, precipitating zinc, filtering, allowing a filtrate to enter into a waste water processing process, and allowing a filter residue to enter into a neutral leaching process; 4, carrying out neutral leaching: adding an electrolytic waste liquid and sulfuric acid to the filter residue obtained in the step 2, adding the zinc precipitation filter residue obtained in step 3, stirring, filtering, allowing a filtrate to enter into an advanced dechlorination process, and sending a filter residue to an environmental protection processing station; 5, carrying out advanced dechlorination: adding a cooper residue dechlorination agent and sulfuric acid to the filtrate obtained in step 4, reacting, filtering, allowing a filtrate to enter into a zinc hydrometallurgy process, and selling a filter residue outside; and 6, processing waste water: carrying out environmental processing on the filtrate obtained in the step 3, and discharging when standards are reached. The method has the characteristics of good dechlorination effect, low cost, strong operability, substantial economicbenefit and the like.
