The invention discloses a method for collecting platinum group metal through microwave heating fusion. The method comprises the following steps that firstly, the temperature of a mixture containing aplatinum group metal raw material, a collector and additives is raised to 1,050 DEG C-1,200 DEG C under microwaves, the mixture is fused, and after fusing is completed, slag-liquid separation is carried out, and a slag phase and metal matte are obtained; wherein the collector comprises Ni3S2, and the additives are at least one of borax, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium hydroxide, sodium peroxide and methylcellulose; and secondly, the metal matte is cooled and subjected to acid leaching treatment, and pickle liquor and platinum-containing leaching slag are obtained. According to themethod, efficient recovering of the platinum group metal in a waste catalyst containing the platinum group metal can be achieved at the relatively low fusing temperature, the content of the platinumgroup metal in the slag can be reduced through slag flotation, the collector is recovered in lixivium, and resources are saved.
