The invention belongs to the technical field of water treatment, in particular to a method for treatment of wastewater containing heavy metal molybdenum. The specific steps are as follows: placing the wastewater which needs to be treated and contains the heavy metal molybdenum into a sealing device; adding sodium sulfide into the device, controlling the pH value of the wastewater after adding the sodium sulfide at 2-3, carrying out reaction for 1-3h at room temperature, and continuously adding the generated sodium sulfide into the molybdenum-containing wastewater for recycling; adding a flocculant into the obtained solution, stirring, carrying out the reaction, standing till precipitate is settled, then discharging supernatant fluid, and passing through a filter device, wherein the precipitate of molybdenum sulfide can be recycled after collection treatment; and adding a mixed coagulant till the pH value of the obtained acid solution is neutral, stirring for removing redundant sulfide ions, standing for 2-5 min till the precipitate is settled, and then discharging the supernatant fluid for ensuring water quality of outlet water. The method for the treatment of the wastewater containing the heavy metal molybdenum has the prominent advantages of good treatment effect, simple treatment equipment, low treatment cost, recycling and utilization of the metal molybdenum and the like.
