The invention provides a novel method for post-processing vat yellow GCN to greatly reduce the amount of waste acid. A crude product of vat yellow GCN is added into a solvent tetrachloroethylene, stirred, heated to 120 DEG C, subjected to a backflow reaction for 6 hours, cooled to the room temperature and then filtered, and the residue naphthaline in a filter cake is cleaned in multiple times by using rationed tetrachloroethylene; the filter cake in which the naphthaline is removed is added into a hydrochloric acid solution to remove copper, stirred, added with sodium chlorate, heated to 70-90 DEG C, thermally insulated for 2 hours, filtered while being hot, washed to neutral state and dried, the pre-processed vat yellow GCN dry product is added into a sulfuric acid concentrated solution, stirred, heated to 130-150 DEG C and reacted for 2-4 hours, a sample is taken and observed by using a microscope, if a crystal becomes transparent, then the crystal transformation is completed, the mixture is cooled to the room temperature, added with water to separate the material and filtered in a suction manner, the filter cake is washed with water to the neutral state, reacts in a sodium hypochlorite solution again at 70-80 DEG C for 2 hours and filtered, and the filter cake is washed to the neutral state and dried to obtain the vat yellow GCN dry product.
