The invention relates to the technical fields of pesticide and environmental protection, and relates to a byproduct recycling technology in the preparation process of an agricultural bactericide (kresoxim-methyl), in particular to a method for recovering a byproduct (ammonium chloride) in kresoxim-methyl production process. Toluene or petroleum ether is used as an extraction solvent and is mixed with water, a byproduct (crude ammonium chloride) in the kresoxim-methyl production process is used as a raw material, standing and layering are performed after heating, filtrate, which is obtained after the water phase is filtered and subjected to impurity removal, is subjected to cooling crystallization, and finally high-purity ammonium chloride is obtained through centrifugation. The method hasthe advantages of simple process flow, short period, low cost, high product purity (up to 99.6%) and high yield, no solid waste is discharged in industrial production of kresoxim-methyl, and clean production is realized. Meanwhile, the extraction solvent and the ammonium chloride mother liquor can be recycled, and water is saved.
