This study proposed a novel two-stage method for the simultaneous recovery of lithium, iron, and phosphorus from mixed spent LFP powder. In the first stage, the powder was reacted with nitric acid solution at 25℃, achieving leaching efficiencies of over 95% for lithium, iron, and phosphorus. The leachate was then regulated and fed into the second stage, a high-temperature (105°C) precipitation process, where iron and phosphorus in the solution are selectively precipitated as FePO<ce:inf loc=\"post\">4</ce:inf>·2H<ce:inf loc=\"post\">2</ce:inf>O. After calcination, the precipitate yielded anhydrous FePO<ce:inf loc=\"post\">4</ce:inf> product.

The aluminum and copper contents in the final FePO<ce:inf loc=\"post\">4</ce:inf> product were reduced to 0.021% and 0.001%, respectively, and the product purity meets the requirements for battery production.
