The comprehensive recycling of aluminum electrolysis cell waste barrier material is urgent. This study focuses on the sulfuric acid leaching of waste barrier material, systematically examining the effects of factors such as reaction temperature, liquid-to-solid ratio, sulfuric acid concentration, and reaction time on the leaching of elements like lithium, aluminum, sodium, and silicon. The experimental results show that under the conditions of 0.9 mol/L sulfuric acid concentration, a liquid-to-solid ratio of 20:1, a reaction temperature of 90 °:C, and a reaction time of 1.5 h, the leaching rates were 84.5% for lithium, 85.6% for aluminum, 98.5% for sodium, and 4.8% for silicon. The sulfuric acid leaching process of the waste barrier material follows a shrinking core model and is controlled by internal diffusion. The apparent activation energies for the leaching reactions of lithium, aluminum, and sodium were 4.29 kJ/mol, 8.99 kJ/mol, and 9.11 kJ/mol, respectively. The selective leaching of lithium, sodium, and aluminum from silicon was successfully achieved in the sulfuric acid leaching of the waste barrier material.
