The invention discloses a novel method for comprehensively recycling 
cobalt, 
nickel, 
manganese and 
lithium elements from ternary battery waste and relates to a recycling method of the battery waste. The method comprises steps of disassembling a waste ternary battery to obtain waste ternary battery 
powder, carrying out acid leaching, 
copper removal, iron and aluminum removal and the like to obtainimpurity removal solution, regulating a pH value of the 
impurity removal solution with 
sodium hydroxide, precipitating mixture of 
cobalt hydroxide and 
nickel hydroxide, vulcanizing and precipitating residual 
cobalt and 
nickel ions with 
sodium sulfide, separating 
manganese ions from cobalt and 
nickel ions, and directly precipitating 
manganese hydroxide to prevent manganese ions from entering the extraction process, dissolving the 
cobalt hydroxide and nickel hydroxide mixture with 
sulfuric acid, extracting to remove impurities, separating cobalt and nickel to obtain pure nickel 
sulfate solution,precipitating with 
sodium hydroxide, and reversely washing for three times to obtain a battery-grade nickel hydroxide product. The method is advantaged in that a problem of high 
recovery cost causedby the fact that the cobalt, nickel and manganese elements must be subjected to extraction and back extraction in the prior art is solved, by innovating a process 
route, most of manganese ions are separated and removed before extraction, 
nickel ions are not subjected to the full-extraction and full-reverse extraction process, and nickel hydroxide is directly precipitated only after the 
related impurities are removed by extraction. The method has advantages of simple process, reduction of 
material consumption and 
energy consumption and remarkable reduction of production cost.
