Phosphogypsum is usually a yellowish-white, light greyish-white or dark grey fine powdery solid. The main component of PG is CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O, which accounts for more than 90% of its total composition. In addition, PG contains phosphorus, fluorine, organic matters and other impurities (e.g. heavy metal elements and nuclides) (Rashad, …
Phosphogypsum (PG) is a by-product of the production of fertilizers from phosphate ores, and it contains some harmful substances to the environment.

More specifically, PG can be used as a substitute in the cement industry, in building materials and in road construction, as a fertilizer for soil improvement, as a raw material for the ...
We hope that PG can be used for road construction on a large scale in the future. This paper focuses on the latest developments in PG as road materials. ... Al-Hwaiti M.S. Assessment of the radiological impacts of treated phosphogypsum used as the main constituent of building materials in Jordan. Environ. Earth Sci. 2015; 74 (4):3159–3169.
Introduction. Phosphogypsum (PG) is a by-product generated from the phosphorus fertilizer industry (phosphoric acid production). PG is similar to natural gypsum, but there are some differences, of which it contains some impurities such as water-soluble phosphate (P 2 O 5), water-soluble fluoride (F −) and P 2 O 5 substituted in the gypsum …
Phosphogypsum (PG), the main industrial by-product of phosphate fertilizer industry, primarily consists of calcium sulfate dihydrate. However, it contains various impurities with variable quantities depending on the origin of the phosphate rock. These impurities can restrict the reuse of phosphogypsum as a secondary primary resource.
On October 15, 2019, EPA received a request from The Fertilizer Institute (TFI), on behalf of its members that own or operate phosphogypsum stacks, to take phosphogypsum out of the stacks and use it in road construction. This request was subsequently revised on …

Other areas of the world, however, looked at phosphogypsum as a valuable raw material and developed processes to use it in chemical manufacture and construction materials. In 1989, stacking of phosphogypsum in the U.S. became a legal necessity when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned its use.
"To date, EPA has not received information or inquiries from any potential user indicating the desire to use phosphogypsum in road construction," said EnestaJones, an EPA spokeswoman.
