Decomposing properties of phosphogypsum with iron addition under two-step cycle multi-atmosphere control in fluidised bed

Phosphogypsum is a solid industry by-product generated when sulphuric acid is used to process phosphate ore into fertiliser. Phosphogypsum stacks without pretreatment are often piled on the land surface or dumped in the sea, causing significant environmental damage. This study examined the reaction...

Zusammenfassung:Phosphogypsum is a solid industry by-product generated when sulphuric acid is used to process phosphate ore into fertiliser. Phosphogypsum stacks without pretreatment are often piled on the land surface or dumped in the sea, causing significant environmental damage. This study examined the reaction characteristics of phosphogypsum, when decomposed in a multi-atmosphere fluidised bed. Phosphogypsum was first dried, sieved and mixed proportionally with lignite at the mass ratio of 10:1, it was then immersed in 0.8 [Formula: see text] with a solid-liquid ratio of 8:25. The study included a two-step cycle of multi-atmosphere control. First, a reducing atmosphere was provided to allow phosphogypsum decomposition through partial lignite combustion. After the reduction stage reaction was completed, the reducing atmosphere was changed into an air-support oxidising atmosphere at the constant temperature. Each atmosphere cycle had a conversion time of 30 min to ensure a sufficient reaction. The decomposing properties of phosphogypsum were obtained in different atmosphere cycles, at different reaction temperatures, different heating rates and different fluidised gas velocities, using experimental results combined with a theoretical analysis using FactSage 7.0 Reaction module. The study revealed that the optimum reaction condition was to circulate the atmosphere twice at a temperature of 1100 °C. The heating rate above 800 °C was 5 [Formula: see text], and the fluidised gas velocity was 0.40 [Formula: see text]. The procedure proposed in this article can serve as a phosphogypsum decomposition solution, and can support the future management of this by-product, resulting in more sustainable production
