Abstract: Tailings(residue) as a potential secondary resources,which has a comprehensive utilization prospects.According in the thorough investigation of tailings(residue) of Mo-Ni,Mn and Al deposits,such as scale,distribution and land use types in Zunyi-Tongren area.The results showed that the scale of electrolytic manganese residue and red mud is larger,the valuable metallic elements can be extracted from tailings,for electrolytic manganese slag,especially extract soluble manganese.It should seek economic and applicable extraction technology in order to realize industrialization of red mud recycling for Ti,Fe,Sc,Li,Nb,Ga,V,REE.Moreover,the tailings as raw materials for the large-scale building materials used is the most safe methods and comprehensive utilization way.
