The present invention discloses a method for recycling urea in the process of separating and purifying unsaturated substances through a urea adduction method. The method comprises the following steps: liposoluble substances containing target unsaturated components are used as raw materials, and subjected to urea adduction, crystallization and filtration to produce a filtrate, from which the specific unsaturated components are obtained; the urea adduct is dissolved in a polar solvent, and after the adducted adducts are layered and released, adding a certain solvent to the urea solution to adjust the polarity, then cooling for crystallization, and recycling the urea. The method can realize complete release of the adducted components and recycling and reuse of urea, and the process is simple, the recovery rate is high, and the adduction effect is not influenced when recycling urea for reuse, and the production cost of the urea adduct is reduced, thus alleviating the adverse impact of urea discharges on the environment.
