Phosphogypsum

Phosphogypsum

It is a by-product of the production of phosphoric acid by treating phosphate ores (apatites) with sulfuric acid. It is a gypsum-like material with a monomineral crystal structure, often in the form of lumps or powder with a characteristic odor. Also contains impurities of fluorine, rare earth elements, strontium and other elements.

Characteristics:
Chemical formulaCalcium sulfate dihydrate CaSO4·2H2O
PropertiesThe content of CaSO4·2H2O reaches about 90% in the composition
Contains 2-5% soluble phosphoric acid
Humidity 30-40%, depending on the production technology and drying conditions
May contain natural radionuclides in small quantities, which is associated with the presence in the ore uranium and thorium
Has a worse quality compared to natural gypsum due to impurities and radioactivity
The structure is loose, with the presence of interstitial cavities
ApplicationPhosphogypsum is used in construction as a lining material, an additive in the production of building materials, although its use is limited due to the content of impurities and radioactivity
It is used in agriculture for the reclamation of salt marshes and acidified soils
The possibilities of obtaining rare earth elements and other valuable substances from phosphogypsum are being investigated
The main amount of the product is usually accumulated in dumps, since there is still little technologically profitable processing
