Abstract：The study on the tailings and their physical and chemical compositions can provide important scientific basis for the control of the mine environment and the proper utilization of tailings.The mineral and geochemical characteristics of the tailings of the skarn copper-iron deposits in the Tonglüshan copper deposit are studied in the paper,Hubei Province,and the heavy metals are extracted and separated by the dilute sulfuric acid .The results show that mineral compositions of the tailings have changed significantly after chemical mineral processing and the long-term physical and chemical weathering.The main form of copper mineral is copper oxide in the tailings,with heavy metals increasingly enriched from the top down.The enrichment of heavy metal elements peaks in the sixth horizon of the tailing pond.It is found that the copper in the tailing pond has potential recycle value.
