On the basis of the current situation of lead-zinc tailings stockpiling in China,the resource characteristics of lead-zinc tailings and the difficulty for the comprehensive reutilization of lead-zinc tailings were discussed,the method and technology for the comprehensive utilization of lead-zinc ores tailings were summarized.According to these analyses,the research on the technology for the effective beneficiation of lead-zinc ores should be strengthen by the mine enterprise,which is beneficial to reduce the production of tailings from the source.On the other hand,the comprehensive utilization rate of the tailings should be improved by the methods such as reconcentration of tailings,the tailings filling and the production of building materials based on the mineral composition and particle size characteristics of tailings.In addition,the comprehensive utilization of tailings is important to achieve the sustainable development of mine enterprise and beneficial to practice the concept of"clear waters and green mountains are as good as mountains of gold and silver".
