The invention discloses a method for decontaminating potassium sub-molten salt soluble crystal liquid and preparing chromic oxide. The method comprises the following steps: (1) introducing CO2 to potassium sub-molten salt soluble crystal liquid, neutralizing potassium hydroxide in the solution, then adding seed crystals, controlling the temperature of the solution at 30-90 DEG C and removing aluminum and silicon; (2) introducing CO2 to the solution obtained in the step (1) to carry out room-temperature pre-carbonation; (3) adding a reducing agent to pre-carbonated feed liquid obtained in the step (2), heating to 120-170 DEG C, and carrying out heat preservation and solid-liquid separation after reaction is ended, so as to obtain a chromium hydroxide filter cake; and (4) drying and calcining the chromium hydroxide filter cake obtained in the step (3), so as to obtain a chromium sesquioxide product. By adopting a pre-acidification mode, the reducing agent is not added in pre-carbonation; no CO2 is introduced after the pre-carbonated feed liquid and the reducing agent are mixed; the method is high in conversion rate of hydrothermal reduction, fewer in intermediate products, high in total yield of chrome, high in purity of the sintered chromic oxide and fewer in impurities by controlling a proper pre-carbonation condition.
