Abstract: The sulfur tailings from Jiangxi contain 0.22% WO3.For determining the recovery process of scheelite from tailings，the mineral processing experiments were investigated in lab.The results show the scheelite concentrate with WO3 grade of 67.03% and recovery of 76.17% can be got by adopting the normal temperature flotation of single-stage roughing，three-stage cleaning，three-stage scavenging，sodium silicate as reagent removal agent，stirring at 90 ℃，then the heating flotation of cleaning flowsheet of single-stage roughing，four-stage cleaning and three-stage scavenging process.

Key words: Sulfur tailings, Scheelite, Normal temperature flotation, Heating temperature flotation
