The invention relates to the technical field of aldehyde reduction of plates, and discloses an aldehyde reduction heat treating process which comprises the following steps: putting an artificial plateinto an aldehyde reduction heat treating kiln for heat treating; putting the artificial plate subjected to the heat treating into a health maintenance balance chamber for health maintenance, whereinthe heat treating mode adopts a preheating-heating-constant temperature multistage aldehyde reduction mode, the constant temperature is 110-130 DEG C, the constant temperature time is 1-4 hours, the preheating temperature is 50-80 DEG C, and the preheating time is 0.5-6 hours. The continuous energy-saving formaldehyde-reducing heat treating kiln comprises a preheating kiln section, a formaldehyde-reducing kiln section and a balance kiln section which are connected in sequence, a feeding port is formed in the preheating kiln section, and a discharging port is formed in the balance kiln section;the formaldehyde reduction kiln section is provided with a heat supply assembly, and an airflow conveying assembly is arranged between the balance kiln section and the preheating kiln section and used for conveying airflow of the balance kiln section to the preheating kiln section. By the adoption of the technology, the aldehyde reduction effect can be effectively achieved, meanwhile, the aldehyde reduction treating period is short, and the production efficiency is improved.
