The invention relates to the field of secondary resource comprehensive utilization of precious metal, in particular to a green recovery method for a dead palladium catalyst. The green recovery methodfor the dead palladium catalyst is sequentially conducted according to the following steps of (A) breaking for ball milling, (B) dissolving, (C) vulcanization, (D) high-temperature smelting, (E) activation, (F) hydrochloric acid dissolving for removing aluminum and (G) palladium refining. The recovery rate of palladium is higher than 98%, operation is easy, the process is short, the production efficiency is high, and the production process is clean, energy-saving and environmental friendly.
