The invention discloses a dry type methylbenzene removal method for microfiber synthetic leather. Microfiber base cloth subjected to polyethylene extraction from methylbenzene is introduced into a dry type methylbenzene evaporation tank (4) for methylbenzene evaporation. The dry type methylbenzene evaporation tank comprises a tank body (48), a heating pipe (45), a plurality of transmission rollers (42), a plurality of large-diameter hollow heating rollers (41) and two circulating fans (44); a base cloth inlet (49), a base cloth outlet (50) and a methylbenzene steam outlet (51) are formed in the wall of the tank body; a plurality of steam heating coil pipes (43) are arranged around each circulating fan; the microfiber base cloth turns around back and forth between the hollow heating rollers and the transmission rollers and is attached to the hollow heating rollers in a large-wrapping-angle manner; methylbenzene in the microfiber base cloth is evaporated to form methylbenzene steam which goes out from a methylbenzene steam outlet. The residual methylbenzene removal efficiency is high; high-temperature methylbenzene liquid obtained through condensation does not need to be heated and can directly flow into an extraction tank for circulating use; the dry type methylbenzene removal method has energy-saving and pollution-free effects and is high in efficiency.
