With spent lithium manganese iron phosphate cathode powder as raw material, a leaching system of DL-malic acid combined with sodium persulfate was employed to selectively recover Li, Mn and Fe elements. The effects of factors, including DL-malic acid concentration, molar ratio of Na2S2O8 to LiFe0.4Mn0.6PO4, liquid-to-solid ratio, leaching temperature, and leaching time on the leaching rates of Li, Fe, Mn and P were investigated. Then, the left leaching residue was analyzed by using SEM and XRD, and the leachate was analyzed by FTIR. Results show that with DL-malic acid at a concentration of 0.4 mol/L, Na2S2O8 and LiFe0.4Mn0.6PO4 at a molar ratio of 0.4, liquid-to-solid ratio of 15 mL/g, 3 h leaching process at 30 ℃ can bring the leaching rates of Li, Fe, Mn and P at 98.76%, 2.37%, 96.89% and 52.45%, respectively, and also Li, Fe, Mn and P in the leachate in a mass concentration of 2.98, 0.21, 12.66 and 6.52 g/L, respectively. It is found that iron phosphate is the dominant component in the leaching residue. During the leaching process, DL-malic acid and Mn2+ form a complex that can be solved in leachate, leading to efficient separation between iron and manganese.
