The invention belongs to the technical field of the production of dimethyl oxalate, and particularly relates to a process method and a device for regenerating methyl nitrite in the production of the dimethyl oxalate. In the method, the utilization rate of nitric oxide in the regenerative process is improved, and the using amount of methanol is reduced. The device comprises a rotary filler bed, wherein a gas inlet of the rotary filler bed is connected with sources of nitrogen, oxygen and nitric oxide respectively, a liquid inlet is connected with a methanol storage tank, a liquid outlet is connected with an inlet of a methanol-water mixture storage tank, and a gas outlet is connected with a condenser I. The process method comprises the following steps of: opening the rotary filler bed, so that the nitric oxide, the nitrogen and the oxygen are contacted and reacted with absolute methanol in the rotary filler bed to form a gas phase and a liquid phase; and discharging the gas phase, condensing, and allowing the liquid phase to flow into the methanol-water mixture storage tank. The process method has the advantages that: the process reaction efficiency is high; all NO is used efficiently; and the equipment has a compact structure and small volume and requires a small investment. The equipment has the advantages of making operation easy, along with simple structure, small energy consumption, simple flow, convenience for starting and stopping and the like.
