An Investigation of the Possibilities of Using Phosphogypsum as a Building Material

Abstract

Phosphate rock is processed with sulfuric acid to obtain phosphoric acid. Phosphoric acid is used in fertilizer production. Approximately 4-5 tons of phosphogypsum is obtained as industrial waste for each ton of phosphoric acid in fertilizer production. It is estimated that 3 million tons of phosphogypsum is stored as waste in our country. A very small amount of phosphogypsum was used in soil improvement and road stabilization, while the rest was generally stored in open lands or dumped into rivers and seas. The supply of landfills for phosphogypsum, the amount of which increases every year as industrial waste, increases production costs. In order to bring phosphogypsum into the economy, studies are being carried out to investigate the possibilities of its use in the construction sector. Phosphogypsum has been used as a setting retarder in cement production, artificial aggregate production and road stabilization. In this study, examples of previous studies on the possibility of utilization of phosphogypsum from Bandırma Bagfas Fertilizer Plant waste in the construction sector are presented. The utilization of phosphogypsum together with other industrial wastes will provide economic contribution.
