[0002] The lithium iron phosphate electrode sheets contain valuable metal elements such as lithium and iron. Lithium is an important resource and is widely used in the new energy field; iron and phosphorus are also commonly used elements in industrial production. Recycling waste lithium iron phosphate electrode sheets can achieve the recycling of these resources and alleviate the problem of resource shortage. In addition, if waste lithium iron phosphate batteries are discarded or disposed of improperly, heavy metals and chemical substances therein may leak, causing pollution to the environment such as soil and water bodies, threatening the ecological balance and human health. Through reasonable recycling and treatment, the environmental pollution risk can be reduced.

[0003] Currently, the lithium recovery from waste lithium iron phosphate mainly uses wet and pyrometallurgical methods. The wet method uses leaching solution to dissolve lithium on the lithium iron phosphate electrode sheets, and after neutralization and precipitation purification, a lithium solution is obtained. Although this method can recover most of the lithium elements, there are small amounts of other metal residues in the lithium solution, resulting in a decrease in lithium purity; the pyrometallurgical method uses high-temperature roasting to remove organic matter and carbon in the electrode fragments, and the metal compounds are reduced to metals and then converted into alloys; this method has high energy consumption and a large impact on the environment.
