Problems solved by technology

[0009] Aiming at the problems that the recovery rate is not high, the selectivity is not strong, and the properties of the lithium ion sieve adsorbent are unstable when recovering lithium from the leach solution of the positive electrode material of the waste lithium ion battery in the existing method, the present invention provides a A method for selectively separating lithium from the leaching solution of positive electrode materials. This method uses a crown ether compound that has a selective recognition effect on lithium ions as an adsorbent, dissolves it in a certain organic solvent to extract lithium ions, and realizes the selective separation of lithium ions. It can extract lithium ions from complex solutions containing cobalt, nickel, manganese, iron and other metal ions, with high recovery rate and strong selectivity, and the extracted organic phase can be reused after stripping
