The invention discloses a preparation method for cefmetazole sodium. The preparation method for the cefmetazole sodium comprises the following operation steps: (1), adding chloroform to 7-MAC as an initial raw material, stirring and dissolving; adding alkali, dropping cyanomethylthioacetyl chloride, and stirring to react to obtain cefmetazole diphenylmethyl ester; (2), enabling the cefmetazole diphenylmethyl ester obtained in the step (1) to react in an alchlor-anisole system to obtain an organic solution of cefmetazole acid; (3), preparing a sodium bicarbonate solution with the concentration of 5-20 wt%, controlling the temperature within a range from 5 DEG C below zero to 10 DEG C, adding the organic solution of cefmetazole acid, which is obtained in the step (2), stirring, leaving a mixture to stand and layer, taking out a water layer, adding activated carbon, stirring to decolorize, controlling the temperature to 0-5 DEG C, adding neutral alumina, stirring to decolorize, filtering to obtain a filtrate, and freeze-drying the filtrate to obtain the cefmetazole sodium. The preparation method for the cefmetazole sodium has the advantages of high yield, excellent product quality and convenience in industrial production.
