As a major source of environmental risk in mining operations, the ecological restoration of tailings ponds plays a crucial role in promoting the development of green mines. This paper focuses on the application and development of ecological restoration technologies for tailings ponds, analyzing the practical progress of physical, chemical, and biological remediation methods. It also discusses current technical bottlenecks and management challenges, while introducing the specific applications of innovative technologies in the restoration process. Based on this, future directions for promoting sustainable development of mine environments are proposed, covering aspects such as technological innovation, institutional improvement, financial support, and regional coordination. The aim is to provide theoretical support and practical pathways for improving the ecological quality of mining areas.
