The invention provides a method for recycling 
chloroform in a process of producing 
methyl isocyanate. The 
methyl isocyanate is prepared by reacting 
phosgene with monomethylamine to generate methylaminoformyl 
chloride, and decomposing methylaminoformyl 
chloride by taking 
chloroform as a 
solvent. The method for recycling 
chloroform in the process of producing 
methyl isocyanate is characterized by comprising the following steps: cooling decomposed 
tail gas to 30-40 DEG C by a cooler, then introducing the 
tail gas into a layering device, layering chloroform and 
hydrochloric acid in the 
tail gas in the layering device, enabling chloroform with high 
specific gravity to flow into a chloroform receiving kettle, receiving and circulating the chloroform for producing methyl 
isocyanate, and independently recycling 
hydrochloric acid with low 
specific gravity. The tail gas generated in the process of producing methyl 
isocyanate firstly flows through a falling-film absorption 
tower, HCl is absorbed into water, and then chloroform is quickly precipitated in a 
hydrochloric acid solution, so that the layering of hydrochloric acid and chloroform in the layering device is facilitated, and further hydrochloric acid and chloroform can be independently recycled; the recycled chloroform can be used for producing methyl 
isocyanate again; plenty of cost can be reduced. The method is simple and high in practicability.
