The invention discloses a sulfide ore tailing recycling method, and belongs to the technical field of sewage and waste recycling. The method firstly adopts a double-chamber microorganism fuel cell (double-chamber MFC) to leach out metal ions from sulfide ore tailing, and adopts a single-chamber air cathode microorganism fuel battery to separate out the metal ions from leaching liquid for recovery. The method not only can effectively leach out the metal ions from the sulfide ore tailing, but also can further effectively recover metal from biological leaching liquid, meanwhile, generates electric energy, and is an environment-friendly metal recovery method for facilitating relief the equipment acid corrosion; and generated water is environment-friendly and free of secondary pollution.
