    摘要: Provided is a method for safely and efficiently recovering a valuable metal from a material including waste lithium ion batteries or the like. The present invention is for producing a valuable metal from a material including the valuable metal, the method comprising: a preparation step for preparing a material including at least Li, Al, and a valuable metal; a reduction and melting step for carrying out a reduction and melting process on the material to obtain a reduced product including a slag and an alloy containing a valuable metal; and a slag separation step for separating the slag from the reduced product to recover the alloy. In the preparation step and/or the reduction and melting step, a flux containing Ca is added to the material. In the reduction and melting step, the reduction and melting process is carried out such that the mass ratio of aluminum oxide / (aluminum oxide + calcium oxide + lithium oxide), in the generated slag, is set to 0.5-0.65, and the slag heating temperature is set to 1400-1600°C.
