The present disclosure relates to a method for recycling a taurine mother liquor, which includes: adding a base to the taurine mother liquor, heating to a first temperature, carrying out a hydrolysis reaction, removing ammonia produced, and evaporating and concentrating the ammonia-removed solution to obtain an alkali metal hydroxyethyl sulfonate solution. When applying the method provided by the present disclosure for the recycling of the taurine mother liquor, the taurine mother liquor can be further converted into the alkali metal hydroxyethyl sulfonate solution, impurities are removed from the obtained alkali metal hydroxyethyl sulfonate solution, the impurity-removed alkali metal hydroxyethyl sulfonate solution is concentrated and crystallized, and the alkali metal hydroxyethyl sulfonate is separated out. The method provided by the present disclosure is an efficient and simple method for recycling the taurine mother liquor, which is very easy to implement industrially and can effectively recycle the taurine mother liquor.

The present invention provides a sulfonium salt photoinitiator, a preparation method therefor, a photocurable composition comprising sulfonium salt photoinitiator, and use thereof. The sulfonium salt photoinitiator has a structure represented by formula (I). By modifying the structure of an existing sulfonium salt photoinitiator, a sulfonium salt photoinitiator having a new structure is obtained, which can exhibits a higher photosensitivity and an excellent as well as characteristics of low odor and low toxicity, when being used in a photocurable composition. This is significantly superior to existing similar photoinitiators. ##STR00001##
