The invention discloses a method for treating wastewater from the preparation of glycine by the chloroacetic acid ammonolysis process, comprising the following steps: throwing waste liquid into a multi-effect falling film vacuum evaporation system, preheating the waste liquid in the multi-effect falling film vacuum evaporation system, heating and evaporating the waste liquid with a multi-effect falling film evaporator, putting the waste liquid in a flashing pot, concentrating the waste liquid until achieving the ammonium chloride concentration of 35-45%, crystallizing the concentrated solution with a crystallizer at normal temperature, drying and packaging the crystalline solid, adjusting the pH value of condensate which is generated by the multi-effect falling film vacuum evaporation system to 10-11 with NaOH, stripping the condensate in a stripping tower, absorbing methanol and ammonia which are generated from stripping with water, adjusting the pH value of primary stripping solution to 2-4 with dilute sulfuric acid, catalyzing and oxidizing the primary stripping solution with Fenton reagent at 30-40 DEG C, adjusting the pH value of the catalyzed and oxidized primary stripping solution to 10-11 with dilute sulfuric acid, throwing the primary stripping solution into the stripping tower, stripping the primary stripping solution for the second time in the stripping tower, absorbing methanol and ammonia which are generated from the primary stripping solution stripping with water, and discharging secondary stripping solution.
