The invention discloses a method for recovering scandium from a scandium-containing material in an ore pulp extraction mode, and belongs to the rare earth metal wet method metallurgy field. The method comprises the following steps: 1, crushing the scandium-containing material to form an ore pulp; 2, pumping the ore pulp into a leaching reaction tank, and adding sulfuric acid into the tank in order to carry out acid leaching; 3, pumping the leached ore pulp into an elevated tank, allowing the leached ore pulp into the top of a pulsed perforated-plate tower below the elevated tank, allowing a lean organic phase to enter the pulsed perforated-plate tower from the tower bottom of the pulsed perforated-plate tower and contact with the ore pulp at the tower top in a bottom-to-top manner in order to carry out countercurrent ore pulp extraction, allowing the obtained loaded organic phase to overflow from the tower top, washing the loaded organic phase, back-extracting the loaded organic phase, regenerating the loaded organic phase, recycling the loaded organic phase, allowing the ore pulp to flow out through the tower bottom, sending the ore pulp to a thickener, processing to recover the organic phase, and neutralizing the ore pulp from the bottom to realize standard reaching discharging; and 4, separating and purifying scandium hydroxide precipitate obtained through back extraction to obtain a scandium oxide product. The method is characterized in that metallic scandium is recovered by directly adopting an extraction technology without a solid-liquid separation operation of the leached ore pulp. The method has the advantages of simple process, increase of the scandium recovery rate by above 5%, low production cost, and easy popularization application.
