The invention relates to a fatty acid amide propyl dimethylamine refining method. The molecular structure of the fatty acid amide propyl dimethylamine is shown in the following specification, wherein n is 7-23. The fatty acid amide propyl dimethylamine refining method is characterized by comprising the steps of step 1, on the basis of the synthesis process of fatty oil or vegetable oil, or animal oil, or fatty acid methyl ester and dimethylamino-1-propylamine, in the process of adding materials, adding 0.01-0.05% (the weight of the fatty oil or vegetable oil, or animal oil, or fatty acid methyl ester) of a reducing catalyst such as one or several of sodium sulfite, sodium borohydride, sodium hypophosphite, making the mixture react under original process condition, step 2, before discharging products, dropwise adding 0.3-0.5 time of original theoretical amount of dimethylamino-1-propylamine, under the original process condition continuing reaction for 0.5-2 hours, step 3, under the reaction temperature, increasing the flow of inert gas such as nitrogen gas to blow and wash from a reactor bottom until no dimethylamino-1-propylamine can be tested in tail gas, complete the refining to acquire the high quality fatty acid amide propyl dimethylamine.
