The invention discloses a method for recycling sulfosalicylic acid from doxycycline production waste liquid and belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry separation and purification. The method includes the following steps that alkali is added to doxycycline production waste liquid, the alkali reacts with sulfosalicylic acid in the doxycycline production waste liquid, sulfosalicylic acid sodium salt is formed, then ethyl alcohol is recycled, crystallization is conducted, and sodium sulfosalicylate is obtained; the recycled sulfosalicylic acid sodium salt is added to an alcohol solution and an acid solution, after a reaction is ended, filtering is conducted, sodium chloride is removed, filter liquor is concentrated, solvent is recycled, crystallization is conducted, sulfosalicylic acid is obtained, the recycling rate reaches 80% or more, and a product is acceptable in quality. Compared with a traditional recycling process, the sulfosalicylic acid is recycled from the doxycycline production waste liquid, emission of pollutants is reduced, environmental protection is facilitated, the sulfosalicylic acid can be recycled, the production cost is lowered, and the economic and social benefits of doxycycline are raised.
