Abstract: The paper briefly describes the necessity and importance of systematical research on the comprehensive utilization of molybdenum tailings resources. The characteristics of low grade of molybdenum tailings and many beneficial components of associated minerals are described. The research status of recovery of valuable components in molybdenum tailings is reviewed, including feldspar, dolomite and other valuable gangue minerals and tungsten, molybdenum, iron and other valuable metals recovery. At the same time, the application of molybdenum tailings is introduced, which can be used in the preparation of concrete, ceramics, unburned bricks, cement, thermal insulation materials, photocatalytic self-cleaning materials and silicon fertilizer. Suggestions on comprehensive utilization of molybdenum tailings resources are put forward. Under the conditions of technological economy and high efficiency of preparation, the valuable components in tailings can be recovered comprehensively;increasing the research and development of science and technology, further studying the neutral flotation technology; taking the overall utilization of the molybdenum tailings and separate the use of the same or separated from the use of all components; increasing the application of molybdenum tailings in agricultural production research for the beneficiation industry to achieve a recycling economy to provide new ideas; research and deve-lopment of new equipment, new technology and new pharmaceutical system suitable for the comprehensive utilization of molybdenum tailings to reduce the pollution discharge in beneficiation.
