The invention relates to a method for recovering antimony from antimonyoxychloride, which comprises the steps of furnace drying, reducing and smelting, coarse antimony refining and casting. The method is characterized in that in the step of reducing and smelting, antimonyoxychloride slag, soda ash, lime and solid carbon are mixed in a certain proportion, the mixture is added into a reverberatory furnace batch by batch, the temperature of the furnace is raised to 1,100 to 1,200 DEG C, the smelting time of each batch is 8 to 12 hours and the pressure in the furnace is kept between 20 and 50Pa. The step of coarse antimony refining comprises adding ammonium dihydrogen phosphate to remove lead, adding sulfur to remove copper and iron and alkaline refining, namely adding ammonium dihydrogen phosphate to remove lead according to a conventional method first, then adding antimony sulfide or sodium sulfide according to copper and iron content to remove the copper and iron, and finally adding soda ash and introducing compressed air to remove arsenic, copper, iron and sulfur and the like. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages of short process flow, relatively low cost and over 94 percent of antimony recovery rate.
