Abstract

The invention discloses a method for efficiently leaching nickel in waste power battery positive electrode material wet treatment tailings, which comprises the following steps: collecting the tailings generated by waste power battery positive electrode material wet treatment, and pretreating the tailings to obtain nickel slag; and the mixed bacterial liquid is put into an improved culture medium to form a leaching system, the pH value of the leaching system is adjusted to 1.8-2.2, the temperature of the leaching system is adjusted to 40-45 DEG C, then the nickel slag is added for leaching treatment, and a nickel-rich solution and leaching slag with the nickel content smaller than or equal to 0.1% are obtained through leaching. According to the method, the nickel slag is efficiently leached by using the mixed bacterial liquid compounded by thiobacillus ferrooxidans, leptospirillum ferriphilum, thiobacillus thiooxidans, thiobacillus caldus and temperature-resistant thiobacillus oxydans, nickel can be fully recycled, and the problems of waste of nickel resources and potential environmental pollution of nickel slag treatment are avoided.
