The invention belongs to the recycling field of a battery, and specifically discloses a recycling method of a waste 
lithium battery with high resource recycling rate and green and environment protection properties. The recycling method of the waste 
lithium battery comprises the steps of performing pretreatment, smashing and 
drying on the 
lithium battery, performing separation on battery fragmentsand performing 
processing on the separated objects. By performing 
electrolyte filtering and recycling on the smashed 
lithium battery, and by performing condensing and 
electrolyte collecting on the exhausted air of 
drying equipment, the 
electrolyte recycling rate is improved, and 
sewage and 
waste gas processing quantity are decreased; meanwhile, by virtue of the 
drying equipment for drying, complete separation of the electrolyte on the battery fragments can be facilitated; the dried battery fragments are subjected to stirring and screening treatment in sequence, so that recycling of battery 
pole piece current collectors, noble and rare metals and other resources from the 
lithium battery can be facilitated separately; and in addition, the recycling rate is relatively high, and 
pollution in the whole recycling process is relatively low.
