An apparatus for recovering yellow phosphorus from furnace gas resulting from preparing phosphorus by an electric furnace comprises a dry dedusting system and a phosphorus collecting apparatus connecting thereto, wherein, in the case of that the temperature of the furnace gas resulting from preparing phosphorus by the electric furnace is equal to or more than the dew point temperature of the phosphorus vapor in the furnace gas resulting from preparing phosphorus by the electric furnace, said dry dedusting system performs dedusting and purifying said furnace gas resulting from preparing phosphorus by the electric furnace, thereby reducing the solid content of the furnace gas resulting from preparing phosphorus by the electric furnace to be equal to or less than 10-50 mg/m3, in which characterized in that:
- said phosphorus collecting apparatus (7) has a heat exchanging chamber (705) consisting of a shell (701) and a recuperator (702) set in the heat exchanging chamber (705), an exhaust gas outlet and a furnace gas inlet connecting to the output end of the dry dedusting system are provided on the heat exchanging chamber (705), and the internal flow path of the recuperator (702) can connect to a low temperature medium source and a high temperature medium source respectively through a switchable apparatus (704).
