The invention discloses a system for recovering heavy metals and recycling wastewater through treating metal wastewater by using a tube type filter membrane method. The system comprises a raw water collecting tank, a PH regulating tank, a concentration box, a micro-filtration membrane device, a micro-filtration water producing box, a carbon filer, a fine filter, a high-pressure pump and a reverse osmosis device which are sequentially communicated through pipelines, wherein the concentration box is also sequentially communicated with a sludge concentration tank, a sludge pump and a filter press through a pipeline. The system has the capacity of filtering particular pollutants without leaking sludge particles; a micro-filtration membrane can be cleaned with an acid agent, an alkaline agent, a bleaching agent and an oxidizing agent; and a membrane tube of the micro-filtration membrane is durable and has long service life. The system has the advantages that the process is simpler, more convenience is brought in operation, automatic control is easily realized, the occupation area is small, the investment of a foundation building period can be saved, the agent input can be reduced, the micro-filtration membrane can recover 99.9 percent of heavy metals, and is the best choice of recovering the heavy metals from the wastewater containing heavy metals.
