The invention relates to a solvent recovery method used in a butadiene rubber production process, belonging to the field of polymer production. The solvent recovery method comprises the following steps: subjecting a part of solvent steam obtained after stripping by a condensation unit and a wet solvent to heat exchange so as to separately obtain a first condensed solvent and a preheated wet solvent; introducing the preheated wet solvent into a solvent recovery unit for separation and purification, and dewatering the first condensed solvent to obtain a second condensed solvent with a water content dropping to a saturation amount; and mixing a recovered solvent obtained after separation and purification with the second condensed solvent to obtain a circulating solvent that is recycled to a polymerization unit. The solvent recovery method used in the butadiene rubber production process can remarkably reduce the load of the solvent recovery unit and has better energy-saving and consumption-reducing effects.
