Abstract: A method for preparing an iminodisuccinate chelating agent, wherein a reaction comprising raw material A, raw material B, an alkali metal hydroxide, and water is carried out under ambient pressure, and at a pH in the range of 6-12 and a reaction temperature ranging from 65° C. to a boiling reflux temperature, and the mixed liquid obtained after the reaction is a mixture containing the iminodisuccinate chelating agent. The raw material A is a compound capable of obtaining a maleate through alkaline hydrolysis; and the raw material B is a compound capable of obtaining an aspartic acid through alkaline hydrolysis. With mild reaction conditions, a short reaction time and a high reaction yield, the preparation method is able to shorten the production process, improve the production efficiency, and reduce the production cost, and it is truly a preparation method which is highly efficient, environmentally friendly, and extremely suitable for industrial scale production.
