Sustainable Mining and Metallurgy

With the increasing supervision of tailings reservoirs by the state, the tailings reservoirs of mining enterprises are facing difficulties in new construction, heightening and expansion approval, which affects the sustainable development of enterprises.So it is necessary to vigorously promote tailings emission reduction. This paper introduced the methods of implementing tailings emission reduction in iron ore mining enterprises, analyzed the potential safety risks for different emission reduction methods, and put forward safety countermeasures, so as to achieve the goals of reducing the amount of tailings in storage or no tailings discharge, and reduce the safety risk of tailings pond, effectively alleviate the problem of insufficient capacity of tailings pond.
