The invention provides a method for electrochemical oxidation treatment of waste water containing anthraquinone dye, and relates to the technical field of water treatment. In the method, a titanium-based metal oxide electrode is taken as an anode, copper or stainless steel is taken as a cathode, a flat plate or three-dimensional fixed bed is taken as an electrochemical reactor, under conditions of the current density of between 10 and 1,500A/m, the content of supporting electrolyte, namely Na2SO4 of between 1 and 20g/L and the temperature of the waste water of between 5 and 95 DEG C, the electrochemical oxidation treatment is performed. The method has the advantages of the degradation of the anthraquinone dye in a short time, quick reaction rate, good decolorization effect, high decrease rate of COD, simple technological flow, little equipment investment, easy operational control and easy industrialized application.
