The invention discloses a method for processing wastewater in the production of trimethyl phosphite, belonging to the wastewater treatment in the chemical process technical field. The processing method comprises the following: firstly, a step of standing and delamination, which is to delaminate oily solvent and water in the wastewater; secondly, a step of heating and concentration, which is to heat the wastewater to between 100 and 140 DEG C and to make the proportion of concentrated solution reach between 10.5 and 1.20; thirdly, a step of cooling crystallization, which is to obtain crystal ammonium chloride and mother liquor; fourthly, a step of separation and drying, which is to separate out, dry and dehydrate ammonium chloride products and to recycle the mother liquor. The method adopts the preferable proposal that: standing and the delamination are performed by a two-stage wastewater disposal basin in turn; the wastewater is preheated by distillation waste heat during the producing procedure before heating and concentration; and evaporated water vapor during the concentration process is condensed and then recycled. The method has simple and feasible technique, low cost and good effect, has the content of the reclaimed ammonium chloride reach between 90 and 99.8 percent, realizes resource recycle, avoids environmental pollution, and generates good environmental benefit, economic benefit and social benefit.
