Mine ecological restoration has experienced a long-term development process in China, in which various technologies have been constantly developing and integrating. Based on the related theoretical research and field program, the technical system of mine ecological restoration was constructed, and the characteristics of key technologies were specifically grasped. In this research, the environment, including natural elements and the spatial environment, is the object of mine ecological restoration, which requires further long-term investigation and monitoring. Therefore, natural element restoration technology, space environment restoration technology, and environmental survey and restoration monitoring technology should be considered when establishing technical systems. The research showed that： ① In mine natural element restoration, where soil and water are important, traditional technologies like pollution abatement with physical, chemical, and biological methods have been extensively used. Meanwhile, artificial soil reconstruction and multi-technology joint remediation became the main study focus in soil restoration and artificial wetlands have been gradually constructed as a new method in water restoration, covering water system restoration and pollution control. ② The two tasks of space environment restoration were geological disaster prevention and vegetation re-greening. Major technologies of the former were applied to surface mine slope treatment and mining subsidence area control, the latter of which could be divided into three technical links： vegetation selection, construction, and maintenance. Although many technologies are valid, a few frontiers need to be further pursued. ③ The mine environmental investigation and restoration monitoring were based on 3S technologies, containing GIS, GPS, and RS, all of which are developing rapidly but still have a large space for integration and innovation.
