The invention discloses a method for recycling boron carbide from sapphire ground waste materials. The method comprises the following steps: S1, sieving the sapphire ground waste materials through a 200-mesh sieve, so as to obtain a magnetic separation material; S2, performing magnetic separation on the magnetic separation material, so as to remove iron impurities and obtain an acid dissolution material; S3, putting the acid dissolution material into a acidification medium, so as to perform acid dissolution on the acid dissolution material, removing silicon impurity, and performing solid-liquid separation, so as to obtain a sintering material; S4, mixing and grinding the sintering material and an alkaline medium, and performing sintering for 4h to 48h at 300 DEG C to 800 DEG C, so as to obtain a sintered product; S5, performing water dissolution, solid-liquid separation and drying on the sintered product, so as to obtain boron carbide. According to the method, recycling of boron carbide ultrafine powder in the sapphire ground waste material is realized, resources and energy consumption are greatly saved, the recycled boron carbide meets the requirement on a grinding material and can be directly used, and the recycle rate of the boron carbide ultrafine powder reaches 93 percent or more.
