The invention relates to a method for recovering vanadium in waste residues produced through neutralization with a chlorination process. The method comprises three steps as follows: oxidizing roasting, leaching and recovery of vanadium lamps. On one hand, the technological process is simple, easy to operate, causes low pollution to surrounding environment and is relatively low in production energyconsumption, on the other hand, vanadium metals in the waste residues can be effectively and efficiently recovered, so that the recycling rate of the vanadium metals is greatly increased, the vanadium metals in the waste residues are taken as raw materials to be used for production of other products while resource waste is avoided, and the production cost is reduced.
