Advantages of Waste–Phosphogypsum in Concrete

Dinesh W Gawatre

Abstract :

This technical note summarizes role of industrial waste-phosphogypsum in concrete. Phosphogypsum is a solid byproduct of the production of phosphoric acid, a major constituent of many fertilizers, chemical industry materials. Portland cement can be replaced with phosphogypsum to develop a good and hardened concrete to achieve economy. The traditional methods for producing construction materials are using the valuable natural resources. Besides, the industrial and urban management systems are generating solid wastes, and most often dumping them in open fields. These activities pose serious detrimental effects on the environment. To safeguard the environment, many efforts are being made for the use of different types of solid wastes with a view to utilizing them in the production of concrete. This make highlights on their potentials and possible use in construction area. The alternative for replacing construction materials obtained from industrial with agro-industrial solid wastes
