The present invention relates to a method for determining sodium chloride in industrial calcium chloride. According to the method, the sodium chloride content in industrial calcium chloride is determined by using an inductively coupled plasma atom emission spectrometer; and the method comprises: 1, drying a crucible, 2, preparing a sample solution, 3, preparing a blank solution, 4, preparing a series of standard sample solutions, 5, drawing a standard working curve, 6, determining the sodium contents in the sample solution and the blank solution, and 7, calculating the sodium chloride content in industrial calcium chloride through the following formula. According to the present invention, with the method, the analysis cycle is shortened, the labor intensity is reduced, the quality process control on the analysis result is improved, the laboratory analysis means is developed, the detection capability is improved, the consumption of chemical reagents is reduced, the waste liquid emission is reduced, the analysis cost is reduced, and other advantages are provided.
