(1) Mixing the lithium extracted ferrophosphorus slag, a carbon source and a lithium salt solution, and performing hydrothermal treatment to obtain a first mixture;
(2) Freeze-drying the first mixture to obtain a second mixture;
(3) Sintering the second mixture at high temperature to obtain a third mixture;
(4) And sequentially washing and drying the third mixture to obtain the reconstituted carbon coated lithium iron phosphate.
According to the invention, the carbon source is mixed in the hydrothermal treatment process, so that the full mixing between the ferrophosphorus slag and the lithium source is facilitated, the in-situ hydrothermal lithium supplementation is realized, the smooth conversion from the waste ferrophosphorus slag to the lithium iron phosphate is realized through high-temperature sintering, the finally prepared carbon-coated lithium iron phosphate is realized, the efficient recycling of valuable elements in the waste ferrophosphorus slag is realized, the raw material applicability is strong, the process flow is simple, the repeatability is good, and the method is suitable for industrial scale-up production.
In addition, the method provided by the invention forms a closed-circuit flow, does not produce secondary pollution, and has low production cost, thereby taking into account environmental protection and economy and being beneficial to large-scale popularization and application.

Preferably, the mixing ratio of the carbon source in step (1) is 10 to 30wt%, for example, 10wt%, 12wt%, 14wt%, 16wt%, 18wt%, 20wt%, 22wt%, 24wt%, 26wt%, 28wt% or 30wt%, based on the total amount of the mixture, but is not limited to the recited values, and other non-recited values within the range are equally applicable.

Preferably, the solute in the lithium salt solution of step (1) comprises lithium hydroxide and/or lithium nitrate.
Preferably, the concentration of the lithium salt solution in the step (1) is 1 to 5mol/L, for example, 1mol/L, 1.5mol/L, 2mol/L, 2.5mol/L, 3mol/L, 3.5mol/L, 4mol/L, 4.5mol/L or 5mol/L, but not limited to the recited values, and other non-recited values within the range of the values are equally applicable.
