The invention discloses a method for recovering zinc and manganese by waste dry batteries and directly preparing a desulfurizer for industry, which comprises the following steps that: manganese, zinc and iron of crushed waste zinc-manganese dry batteries are dissolved by dilute sulfuric acid, an undissolved substance is removed through the filtration, filtrate is neutralized by a sodium carbonate solution to produce precipitate, the precipitate is dried and then is baked to obtain a mixture of metal oxides, hydroxymethyl cellulose, No.425 cement, and attapulgite are added into the mixture to be mixed evenly, a proper amount of water is added for kneading, the band extrusion is performed on a banded extruder, and the obtained product is dried at a temperature of between 95 and 110 DEG C and is baked at a temperature of 300 DEG C to obtain the desulfurizer for industry. Compared with similar products at home and abroad, the performance index of iron-manganese-zinc series desulfurizers produced by adopting a reclaimed material of waste zinc-manganese batteries has the characteristics of high component content, high breakthrough sulfur capacity, moderate side pressure strength and low abrasion wear, various technical indexes all reach the technical indexes of the similar products at home and abroad, and the main index is better than that of the similar products at home and abroad. The method can meet the need of industrial use, and can be popularized and applied as industrially practical novel purifying agents.
