Characterisation of Purified Gypsum and Insoluble Impurities Obtained from Phosphogypsum Waste
Abstract
In this study, the chemical and phase composition of two samples of phosphogypsum from the waste dumps of the Industry of Chemical Products "Elixir - Prahovo" (Serbia) were examined, as well as the possibility of recrystallization of gypsum from an aqueous suspension of phosphogypsum. 'the negative effect of higher temperatures on the solubility of calcium sulfate (13.08 mmol/dm(3) at 95 degrees C vs. 15.43 mmol/dm(3) at 40 degrees C) was utilized. In several repeated cycles, calcium sulfate component was progressively dissolved in water at room temperature and then precipitated at 100 degrees C, using the same liquid phase throughout the experiment. Therefore, phosphogypsum was separated into recrystallized (purified) gypsum, insoluble residue and supernatant, and the mass balance for the experiment was calculated. Elemental, XRD and SEM-EDS analyses were performed on raw phosphogypsum, purified gypsum and insoluble residue. The whiteness of raw phosphogypsum and purified gypsum were ...determined and compared. The main objective of the study was to investigate the nature of insoluble impurities, in order to define and optimize the methods for their removal during a potential industrial processing of phosphogypsum.
