The invention relates to a method for regenerating adsorbed saturated activated carbon. The method comprises the following steps: drying adsorbed saturated activated carbon with a water content of 30%-60%; heating and carbonizing dried adsorbed saturated activated carbon, so as to obtain a carbonized matter; and introducing water vapor to activate the carbonized matter, and cooling to the room temperature, so as to obtain adsorbed saturated activated carbon, wherein the introducing amount of the water vapor is 2%-4% of mass of the carbonized matter. After adsorbed saturated activated carbon is processed by virtue of the method, the adsorption activity is restored, and processed adsorbed saturated activated carbon approaches to indexes before use. The method has the beneficial effects that the process is simple, the cost is low, the yield is high, and good social and economic benefits can be created.
