The present invention discloses a method for decomposing medium-/low-grade scheelite, specifically comprising steps of: grinding medium-/low-grade scheelite, decomposing in an autoclave by using sodium phosphate and activated magnesium fluoride as leaching agents, and treating by solid-liquid separation to obtain crude sodium tungstate solution and residue. In this way, the medium-/low-grade scheelite is decomposed. Magnesium chloride is added in a sodium fluoride solution to prepare activated magnesium fluoride as a leaching agent. The present invention has the advantage that the high-efficiency decomposition of medium-/low-grade scheelite can be realized with low consumption of leaching agents, and the leaching cost can be greatly reduced in comparison to the existing decomposition processes using sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate. This process is short in route, simple in operation, readily available and reliable in production equipment, and easy for industrialization.
