Environmental Problems of Phosphogypsum Utilization

Abstract:

In recent years, solid waste of the production of mineral fertilizers, phosphogypsum, has been of great scientific and practical interest in construction. The results of scientific research and practical experience in many countries have convincingly proved the technical feasibility and feasibility of using phosphogypsum. The problems of reducing impurities of phosphorus and fluorine in the manufacture of building materials from phosphogypsum are considered. Comparative experimental studies of the presence of phosphorus impurities for the initial phosphogypsum of the Dnieper Mineral Fertilizer Plant, calcined phosphogypsum and mixtures of phosphogypsum were carried out. Comparative indicators of the presence of radioactive elements in phosphogypsum are given. It is shown that there are methods for reducing heavy metals in phosphogypsum.
