The invention discloses a recovery device for zirconium oxide powder production waste liquid. The recovery device comprises a solar evaporation tank, a solar heat absorption bottom plate laid at the bottom in the solar evaporation tank, a liquid inlet, a liquid outlet, an air inlet, an air outlet, a transparent cover plate and the like. According to the recovery device, waste liquid flows throughthe solar evaporation tank with the solar heat absorption bottom plate, the waste liquid is heated, evaporated and concentrated by solar energy, low-cost waste liquid recovery is realized, the requirement of cost control of a production enterprise is met, the concentrated waste liquid can be used as a fertilizer or a fertilizer raw material, and waste is turned into wealth. The recovery device isreasonable in design, simple, practical, low in recovery cost, high in recovery efficiency, energy-saving, environment-friendly and particularly suitable for large-scale treatment of zirconium oxide powder production waste liquid.
