The invention provides a method for treating glyphosate mother liquor by an oxidation method, which comprises the following steps: firstly, using regulating agents for regulating the pH value of the glyphosate mother liquor with organic phosphor or glyphosate or nitrogenous compounds or salt to 0.1 to 14; then, carrying out the pressurized oxidation reaction with strong oxidizing gas under the condition of the existence of catalysts; oxidizing phosphorus-containing impurities such as glyphosate, glyphosine, orthophosphorous acid, methyl glyphosate, aminomethyl phosphonic acid, N-(Phosphonomethyl) iminodiacetic acid and the like into phosphate radical ions; oxidizing nitrogenous organic impurities such as glycin, triethylene ammonia, diethanolameine, aminomethyl phosphonic acid, hydroxyethyl glycine and the like into ammonia radical ions; and then, carrying out concentration and separation to obtain phosphate and amine salt inorganic compounds for recovery and reuse. The invention can effectively oxidize the complicated organic phosphor and the nitrogenous compounds in the glyphosate mother liquor into single phosphate radicals and amine salt inorganic compounds for convenient recovery and reuse, and can simultaneously reduce the environment pollution and the soil hardening caused by the mother liquor. Thereby, the total conversion rate of the phosphorus-containing compounds reaches 60 to 90 percent, the conversion rate of the nitrogenous compounds reaches more than 90 percent, in addition, the removal rate of the glyphosate reaches 95 to 99 percent, a large amount of produced phosphate and amine salt can be used for agricultural fertilizers, and the goal of changing waste materials into valuable materials is achieved.
