Iron ore tailings (IOTs) are a form of solid waste that is leftover during the mining process. They are produced through the extraction of the valuable portion of the iron ore from the waste portion. This waste material is produced as a type of slurry.

IOTs are a common form of mining solid waste that has no commercial value. IOTs are typically stored in tailings dams that also contain water and other waste that is produced as a result of the mining process.

IOTs stored in tailing dams may be dangerous due to their high levels of chemicals (such as iron oxide) that are thought to be harmful to the environment. Uncontained portions of this substance can also be carried by wind and water to contaminate other areas.

High volumes of IOTs may create environmental, economic and ecological concerns due to the amount of land occupied by IOTs and the safety hazards they can produce. Resolving this issue will require effective waste management and recycling methods.

Researchers have been exploring different recycling methods to convert iron tailings into other products that not environmentally harmful. Some products include:

* Brick.
* Ceramic tiles.
* Concrete aggregates.
* Epoxy and engineered cementitious composites,
* Polypropylene cement.
