The invention relates to a recycling method of anode mud produced by electrolytic manganese metal. The method comprises the following steps that A, the anode mud is ground into 80-100 mesh powder, andis subjected to slurrying, then sulfur dioxide is introduced, stirring, and heating are conducted during a sulfur dioxide introduction process, or ammonium sulfite is added after slurrying, then concentrated sulfuric acid is added, the pH is adjusted to 2.5-3, impurity removing and pressure filtration are conducted, and generated filter residue lead sulfate is recovered to obtain a solution containing manganese sulfate and manganese dioxide; B, the solution obtained in the step A is cooled to 38-42 DEG C, ammonia water is added, solid-liquid separation is conducted after pressure filtration to obtain a manganese hydroxide pressure filtration block and an ammonium sulfate solution; and C, the manganese hydroxide pressure filtration block is subjected to leaching by using an anode liquid subjected to anode mud filtration, impurity removal and standing, a filtrate after pressure filtration is subjected to electrolysis, then later-procedure treatment is conducted to obtain electrolytic metal manganese, and the anode mud is used in a slurrying procedure of the step A. According to the method, recycling of resources is achieved, and meanwhile, benefits are improved, the method is safe,environment-friendly and pollution-free, the obtained metal manganese is high in purity, and the use quantities of auxiliary materials such as sulfuric acid, ammonium sulfate, ammonia water, seleniumdioxide are greatly reduced.
