Reuse value of molybdenum mine tailings

November.22,2023

The accumulation of molybdenum tailings not only wastes resources and occupies land, but also causes pollution to the surrounding environment. Therefore, the comprehensive utilization of molybdenum tailings resources can not only achieve sustainable development of resources and environment, but also improve the economic benefits of mining enterprises.

Recovering valuable metals such as tungsten, molybdenum, copper, iron, and titanium from molybdenum tailings improves the utilization rate of tailings resources. However, the amount of tailings is still very high after recovering valuable components, which cannot fundamentally solve the problem of molybdenum tailings. Emissions issues;
Molybdenum tailings also contain rutile, feldspar, etc. Using reasonable technology to recover these components has good economic value.

Molybdenum tailings are used as the main raw material to prepare unfired bricks, sintered bricks, ceramics, glass, cement, concrete and other building materials. It can effectively solve the problem of molybdenum tailings accumulation and realize the reduction and resource utilization of molybdenum tailings. However, resource utilization The rate is low; the production of slow-release fertilizers from molybdenum tailings achieves harmless treatment of the tailings and can increase agricultural production, which is of positive significance to the development of the molybdenum tailings industry.

Molybdenum tailings sand and gravel production line

The raw materials of the sand and gravel aggregate production line come from molybdenum mine waste rock and tailings. It currently has about 180 million tons of waste rock and tailings resources, of which about 100 million tons of tailings and about 80 million tons of waste rock. The tailings are composed of quartz and feldspar. Lord.
