A novel process for refining Ceftizoxime sodium compound, comprises the steps of: 1) dissolving crude Ceftizoxime sodium in water, and extracting with cyclohexane or ethyl acetate, followed by separating the organic phase containing impurities, producing an aqueous phase containing Ceftizoxime sodium; 2) adding ammonia or ammonium hydroxide into the above aqueous phase while stirring, followed by filtrating the precipitate, producing an aqueous filtrate containing Ceftizoxime sodium; 3) adding an alcoholic solvent in the aqueous solution and recrystallizing under controlled temperature, followed by centrifuging and washing the resultant crystals, producing the refined Ceftizoxime sodium after drying; and 4) optionally returning the mother liquid of the recrystallization process to step 3).
