This paper proposes a scheme of recycling spent batteries, using concentrated hydrochloric acid as leaching agent, NaOH and NH₄HCO₃ as precipitating agents. The oxidation reaction of Mn²⁺ under alkaline conditions was included to change the precipitation order of ions, thus recovered ions in steps. The optimal conditions for acid leaching of concentrated hydrochloric acid to treat the ternary cathode material LiNi_0.8Co_0.05Mn_0.15O₂ were studied. In the stepwise precipitation process, Mn²⁺ was oxidized to MnO(OH)₂, which is insoluble in non-reducing acids, and then Mn was recovered under acidic conditions. While Ni and Co were recovered under alkaline conditions by using NaOH. Li was recovered by using NH₄HCO₃. Using this method, the recovery of Mn reached 85.1% and the product purity reached 98.6%; the recovery of Li reached 95.0% and the product purity reached 99.3%. The pouch cell assembled with the re-synthesized ternary cathode using the recovered material reached a discharge specific capacity of 175 mAh·g^-1 in the first cycle. It could stably cycle for 50 cycles with Coulombic efficiency of over 99.5%.
