In the face of China's rapid economic development, China's mineral industry continues to improve, and the amount of tailings is also rising year by year. The economic and environmental problems caused by tailings are becoming more and more serious. According to the current tailings storage and utilization rate in China, this paper analyzes the types and comprehensive utilization direction of tailings in China, and takes Tangshan area as an example to carry out the investigation and comprehensive utilization research of tailings in this area. At present, there are more than 80 tailings reservoirs in Tangshan area, which are distributed in Qianxi, Qian'an, Zunhua and other areas. According to the characteristics of tailings in Tangshan area, an experimental analysis is conducted on the tailings of a certain tailings pond. According to the physical and chemical properties obtained from the experiment, the experimental results are analyzed, and the ways and methods of its reuse are considered, so as to provide technical support for promoting green economy and environmental protection industry, and realize the maximum utilization of resources on the premise of ensuring and protecting the environment.
