The invention discloses a method and equipment for separating cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (CCA) slurry. The equipment mainly comprises a metal film penetrating separator; and a film pipe is arranged in the separator, and is provided with a stainless steel metal film with the aperture of 0.50 to 50 mu m. The method comprises the following steps of: introducing palladium-carbon catalyst-containing reaction mixed solution into an enclosed separator for separation through a buffer tank; and directly discharging the separated light phase into the next production procedure, concentrating the heavy phase in the separator, stopping feeding when the catalyst concentration reaches 10-30 weight percent, performing nitrogen stirring and clear liquid backwashing, and returning to a reactor. The separated light phase CCA product has the purity of 98-99 percent, and the catalyst content of zero. The separating process is automatically continuously carried out, power equipment is not required, the catalyst is not worn, the consumption of the catalyst is low, and the service life of the catalyst is long. The separating equipment is easy to operate, convenient to maintain, safe, environment-friendly and pollution-free.
