The invention relates to a method for recycling 
tellurium from 
tellurium anode slime. By adopting the technical scheme, the method comprises the steps that firstly, 
distilled water is used for washing 
tellurium anode slime, 
hydrogen peroxide is used for completely oxidizing uncleaned Na2TeO3 into Na2TeO4, then, 
sulfuric acid is slowly added into the tellurium 
anode slime to leach out tellurium, filtering is performed to obtain a tellurium leaching agent, Na2SO3 is used for reducing Te6+ into crude tellurium 
powder, then, a saltpeter solution is adopted for dissolving the crude tellurium 
powder, tellurium electrodeposition regularly-discharged 
liquid waste or tellurium anode mud washing water is added into the solution for 
neutralization, the pH value of the reaction endpoint is controlled to 5-6, tellurium is totally converted into 
tellurium dioxide, impurities are removed from the neutralized solution, finally, the 
tellurium dioxide is dissolved through the tellurium electrodeposition 
liquid waste, the 
solution composition is adjusted to meet the requirement of electrodeposition new liquid compositions, and the solution is returned to the electrodeposition process to produce refined tellurium. 
Tellurium in anode mud produced by tellurium electrodeposition can be supplemented in time for performing process production tellurium refining, the 
resource utilization efficiency is improved, the technology is reasonable, operation and implementation are easy, and the tellurium 
recovery rate is high.
