The invention relates to the technical field of recycling of waste battery materials, and discloses a recycling method of
lithium iron phosphate battery waste, which comprises the following steps: carrying out sufficient acid leaching on the
lithium iron phosphate battery waste, and carrying out
solid-liquid separation to obtain a
leachate; adding a sufficient amount of iron
ion complexing agent competing with
phosphate radicals and a sufficient amount of
lithium precipitation inhibitor competing with lithium ions into the
leachate, and diluting to obtain a
mixed solution; the temperature is controlled to be 20-50 DEG C, alkali liquor is gradually added into the
mixed solution, when the pH value of the solution reaches 3.5-4.5, the alkali liquor continues to be added,
oxygen is introduced into the solution at the same time, when
ferrous iron in the solution is oxidized to 30-40%,
oxygen introduction is stopped, the condition is maintained for 8-12 min, after it is detected that a ferroferric
oxide product appears in a
system, the pH value of the solution is rapidly adjusted to 7.5-8.5, and the ferroferric
oxide product is obtained. Fully aging to obtain
slurry containing ferroferric
oxide; and ferroferric oxide is extracted from the
slurry. According to the method, ferroferric oxide with relatively high purity can be recovered and obtained.
