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 formula | Calcium sulfate dihydrate CaSO4·2H2O |
| Properties | The 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 |
| Application | Phosphogypsum 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 |
| Packaging | Bulk, 25 kg bags, running run |
