The invention relates to a method for two-stage iron settlement in high-temperature peracid zinc leachate. The method comprises the steps of A. adding zinc concentrate into high-temperature peracid leachate to conduct reduction so as to enable Fe3<+> to be less than 2g/L; B. thickening ore pulp in the step A, returning slag and leaching, adding a neutralizing agent into overflowing liquid for preneutralization, and controlling the PH value of a final point to be 2.0-3.0; C. thickening the ore pulp obtained from the step B, returning the slag to the step B to be thickened, overflowing to first-stage iron settlement work procedure for iron settlement, introducing oxygen and adding the neutralizing agent, and controlling the PH value to be 2.5-3.5; and D. thickening the ore pulp obtained from the step C, conducting filter pressing on the slag to obtain needed iron slag, overflowing to the second-stage iron settlement work procedure for iron settlement, introducing oxygen and adding neutral ore pulp, controlling the PH value of the settled iron to be 3.5-4.5, wherein the liquid Fe2<+> after the two-stage settlement is less than 0.8g/L, and conducting the neutral leaching work procedure. Due to the adoption of the method disclosed by the invention, the iron slag contains more than 35% of iron, the zinc content in the iron slag is reduced to be 10%, and the copper recovery rate in the iron settlement process is 90%.
