A method for purifying zinc sulfide solution comprises the following steps of: firstly, removing suspended solids from zinc sulfide solution by using a sean filter at a normal temperature; secondly, adding zinc powder by 120% of solution copper metal weight, stirring for 90 minutes at normal temperature for removing copper, and filtering; thirdly, adding zinc powder by 120-150% of solution cadmium metal weight, stirring for 60 minutes at a normal temperature for removing cadmium, and filtering; fourthly, increasing the temperature of the solution to the range of 82-94 DEG C, adding zinc powder in a proportion of 1 g/L of solution, and simultaneously adding some antimonous oxide, stirring for 50-70 minutes, removing cobalt and nickel impurities, and filtering; and finally, removing few suspended solids from the filtered solution by the sean filter. The method provided by the invention is capable of directly producing copper slag and sponge cadmium product; and the solution is capable of meeting the quality standard requirements of fresh electrolyte even though no extra zinc powder is added to the solution to remove residual cadmium; therefore, the consumption of the zinc powder is effectively reduced.
