The invention discloses a method for extracting valuable metal from copper nickel sulfide through ammonium persulfate-sulfuric acid oxidation leaching. The method comprises the steps of screening low-grade copper nickel sulfide raw materials to obtain copper nickel sulfide mineral powder, according to the proportion, taking ammonium persulfate and sulfuric acid raw materials, adopting one (1) of the two manners in the ammonium persulfate to be completely mixed with sulfuric acid to form a mixture, and then uniformly mixing the mixture with mineral powder according to the proportion; and secondly, enabling the ammonium persulfate to be partly mixed with the sulfuric acid, partly making a saturated solution, under the specific temperature and system pH, performing a constant-temperature leaching reaction, in the leaching process, adding a saturated ammonium persulfate solution, finishing leaching and filtering, and obtaining leaching liquid, wherein the extraction rate of valuable metalNi in the leaching liquid is 90.4 to 97.5%, the extraction rate of Cu is 93.4 to 99.9%, and the extraction rate of Co is 92.7 to 99.6%. The method is low in leaching temperature, low in sulfuric acidconcentration, small in use amount, simple in process flow, and wide in application range, ore raw materials are limited by areas, ore, grade and the like, the extraction rate of the valuable metal ishigher, and no SO2 is emitted.
