The invention relates to the technical field of sewage treatment and particularly relates to an industrial wastewater treating agent. The industrial wastewater treating agent comprises the following components in parts by mass: 0.8-3 parts of polyacrylamide, 25-35 parts of aluminium polychlorid, 25-55 parts of alums, 3-8 parts of iron trichloride, 0.8-3.4 parts of polymeric ferric sulfate, 1.2-2.5 parts of a coagulant aid, 2-10 parts of plant fiber, 10-30 parts of coal ash, 0.8-2.5 parts of sodium silicate, 2.5-5 parts of sodium sulfite, 0.5-3.5 parts of sodium hypochlorite, 5-10 parts of hydrogen peroxide, 8-15 parts of a sodium carbonate-sodium bicarbonate buffer system and 10-20 parts of sodium-based bentonite. The treating agent has the beneficial effects of wide treated pollutant range, good effect, wide production raw material source, environmental friendliness, no toxicity, good discharged water quality, short process flow, and high process operating safety. The treating agent disclosed by the invention can treat various kinds of wastewater such as chemical wastewater produced in oil fields, mining, steel, electroplating wastewater, dyes, pesticides, wine-making and chemical engineering, and sanitary sewage, papermaking wastewater, river and lake water, rubbish seeping water, leather-making wastewater, and the like; and the treating agent is good in treatment effect.
