The work aims to develop stone paper with high content of siderite tailings to provide a new approach for the resource utilization of siderite tailings solid waste. With industrial solid waste siderite tailings powder and polypropylene (PP) as the main raw materials, and with the addition of functional additives, siderite tailings were activated through a three-stage pretreatment process of mechanical crushing, dry ball milling, and surface modification. Combined with mixing and hot pressing technology, siderite tailings based stone paper was prepared. The influence of the content of siderite tailings 20wt%-60wt% on the microstructure and physical properties of the material was studied through characterization methods such as scanning electron microscope (SEM) and universal electronic testing machine. The results showed that when the content of siderite tailings reached 20%, the tightness, smoothness, tear resistance, and tensile strength of the stone paper increased by 11%, 8.1%, 49.5%, and 42.1%, respectively; When the dosage reached 40%, the tightness increased, the smoothness decreased, and there was a slight improvement in tear resistance and tensile strength; When the dosage exceeded 40%, the tightness continued to increase, while the smoothness, tear resistance, and tensile strength all significantly decreased. The addition of siderite tailings did not significantly promote the aging of stone paper, and had no significant effect on its flame retardant properties. The material maintained good structural integrity. The addition of siderite tailings has little effect on the aging resistance and flame retardancy of stone paper. In order to achieve good flame retardancy, the amount of flame retardant must be increased. The physical properties of stone paper mainly depend on the distribution of tailings particles between resins. Only when tailings particles are uniformly filled in the resin can stone paper with excellent physical properties be obtained.
