The invention discloses a method for preparation of sodium chromate by low-nitrogen roasting of chromite and continuous leaching of clinker. The method includes the steps of: (1) selecting chromium ore powder, sodium carbonate and return slag; (2) mixing the selected raw materials uniformly, then feeding the mixture into a rotary furnace, carrying out oxygen-fuel combustion through a total oxygen-fuel system, and controlling the temperature of the materials at 850DEG C-1150DEG C; (3) directly and uniformly injecting pure oxygen gas into the raw material under a material bed in the rotary furnace, and carrying out pure oxygen roasting reaction on the raw material in the rotary furnace; and (4) injecting the roasted clinker into a wet vertical mill, adding a sodium chromate dilute solution or pure water through a metering pump, stirring the substances uniformly, conveying the mixture to a belt filter through a transfer trough, and conducting continuous leaching and filtering to obtain sodium chromate. The method has the characteristics of low energy consumption, high sodium chromate yield, low chromium ore consumption, and low content of nitrogen oxide generated in the flue gas, canachieve continuous production, improves the production efficiency, and can realize clean emission.
