However, the aluminum particles obtained by crushing carry polar powder, so that the purity is low, and a small amount of fine aluminum particles can be carried in the polar powder. The conventional method for treating the crushed aluminum particles comprises the steps of burning off the binder by a roasting method, dissolving aluminum by using liquid alkali, and achieving a separation effect by using a flotation table mechanochemistry and the like; the electrode powder enters a wet system and valuable metals such as nickel, cobalt, manganese and the like are recovered through processes such as acid leaching and the like.
