The invention provides a separating and recycling method of nickel, cobalt, copper manganese and zinc in electroplating sludge. The method comprises the steps that acid leaching is performed on the electroplating sludge to obtain leaching agents for fractional extraction, organic phases and nickel-rich raffinate are obtained, four steps of reverse extraction are performed on the organic phases by sequentially adapting hydrochloric acid, vitriol, the vitriol and the hydrochloric acid, and four kinds of corresponding strip liquor are achieved; then follow-up recycle is performed on the nickel-rich raffinate and the four kinds of strip liquor, and separation and recycle of the nickel, the cobalt, the copper manganese and the zinc are completed. According to the method, the complete extraction mode is adopted, the nickel, the cobal, calcium, magnesium, the copper, manganese and the zinc are sequentially extracted step by step and then recycled respectively, a technology procedure is short, production efficiency is high, the equipment investment is small, operation cost is low, the environment is protected, recycling of the nonferrous metal is achieved, and good social benefits and economical benefits are obtained.
