In the anode material of the ternary lithium battery, one of the three metal elements is not necessary. In the traditional recovery process of the waste ternary lithium battery, metals (Ni, Co, Mn and Li) in the anode powder are often extracted and converted into corresponding soluble salts (such as Li)2CO3、CoSO4、 MnSO4And NiSO4) And then the regeneration of the ternary lithium battery anode material is realized through subsequent physical and chemical steps (such as replacement, precipitation, roasting and the like).
