Phosphogypsum (PG), a byproduct during the phosphoric acid production process, also known as the wet process, contains complex and diverse impurities, resulting in low utilization and considerable accumulation. This leads to a massive waste of land resources and a series of environmental pollution problems. Given the current urgent …
1. Introduction. Phosphogypsum (PG), CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O, is a by-product coming from the processing of fluoroapatite resulting in H 3 PO 4 production. In the process, fluoroapatite is dissolved using sulfuric acid. Phosphoric acid (PA), phosphogypsum, and hydrofluoric acid are obtained: (1) Ca 5 (PO 4) 3 F + 5H 2 SO 4 + 10H 2 O→3H 3 PO 4 …
