Uses for Phosphogypsum. While use in the US is limited, other countries are already putting this industrial by-product to good use. Outside the borders of the US, phosphogypsum is widely used in a number of applications (in India, phosphogypsum has been redefined as a co-product, further encouraging its reuse).
phosphogypsum (PG) as a partial supplement in road base material through chemical and physical characterization. Past work included identifying several potential sources of PG and performing preliminary chemical characterization, including total and mobile constituent
Phosphogypsum (PG) is a calcium sulphate dihydrate and a by-product of the phosphate fertilizer industry. It is produced in huge quantities (300 MT/year), but only 15% of the PG produced is recycled.
The paper deals with an investigation about the production of high strength plaster from the waste phosphogypsum and its use in making flooring tiles. To achieve this objective, phosphogypsum was calcined at 900–1000 °C to anhydrite which was mixed with suitable chemical activators (alkali/alkaline earth hydroxides, sulphates, ...
The use of phosphogypsum in a dose of 1.5 t/ha contributed to the significant accumulation of organic carbon in the topsoil of the studied sod-podzolic soils – in comparison with the control. ...
There is an urgent need to find new, improved ways to reduce CO 2 emissions and treat phosphogypsum (PG) waste. This research proposes an energy-efficient methodology for the production of pure calcium carbonate and CO 2 mineral sequestration (CMS) by hydrolysate of PG decomposition products. The technical …

View applications for other use of phosphogypsum. Compliance. Phosphogypsum facilities must meet the requirements of 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart R. The regulations require that phosphogypsum be managed in engineered stacks, which are designed to limit public exposure from emissions of radon and other radionuclides. …
Phosphogypsum is the material left behind when Mosaic mines phosphate ore across Central Florida's Bone Valley and turns it into an ingredient for fertilizer. The byproduct contains radium-226 ...
Technical specifications." section it is allowed to use phosphogypsum for production of binding gypsums substances as well as rock gypsum. The Federal Road Transport Agency agreed on a company industry standard 244016 "Recommendations for road surface dressing made from phosphogypsum in roadways construction." The Standard ...
An experimental study was conducted to investigate the potential use of phosphogypsum (PG) in concrete. This was accomplished by preparing mortar mixes at a water/cement ratio of 0.6 using two types of cement, ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and pozzolanic Portland cement (PPC), and two types of fine aggregate, natural river sand …
Any other use of phosphogypsum requires prior approval from the EPA. The EPA may approve a request for a specific use of phosphogypsum if it determines that the proposed use is at least as protective of public health as placement of phosphogypsum in a stack. The processes for requesting such an approval are described in 40 CFR 61.206.
Use of Phosphogypsum: Authorizes DOT to undertake demonstration projects using phosphogypsum in road construction aggregate material; requires DOT to conduct study on phosphogypsum as construction aggregate material; provides that phosphogypsum used under specified circumstances is not solid waste & is allowed use in state; …
Enter your address into the mapping tool to see if you live near a phosphogypsum stack or live within the 200 mile buffer where phosphogypsum can be used in road construction. ...
