Most of the tailings are usually discharged in the tailings pond,and the cost of tailings treatment is not only expensive,but also the high potential energy of the tailings pond is often accompanied by greater security risks.Therefore,tailings treatment is one of the important issues to be considered by relevant production enterprises and environmental protection department.With the strengthening concept of green architecture,the application of recycled aggregate in building materials has attracted gradually attention.In this paper,tungsten tailings are used as the main raw material to prepare lightweight and high-strength artificial aggregate.When the content of tungsten tailings is 45%,the barrel compressive strength of the aggregate is 20.6MPa.When it replaces natural stone in concrete according to volume ratio,the amount of water reducing agent can be significantly reduced.When the replacement amount of lightweight high-strength aggregate in concrete is 25%,the compressive strength of concrete is increased by about 3.0MPa compared with the blank group without addition of lightweight high-strength aggregate.
