Phosphogypsum (PG) is a by-product of the phosphate fertilizer industry that is produced during the phosphoric acid production process. Annual global PG production ranges between 100 to 300 Mt, with only 15% of that utilized while the rest is usually placed on large dumps with potential serious human and environmental impacts.

Furthermore, in some countries where phosphoric acid is produced such as Morocco, Mexico, Tunisia and South Africa, PG waste is directly poured into the ocean . In an attempt to utilise such a huge amount of PG, several studies have focused on transferring PG into building materials, ammonia fertilizer and soil amendments [ 41 ].

Annually in Serbia, about 810 000 tons of waste phosphogypsum is produced. The use of phosphogypsum with high-content of 226Ra represents a double risk of exposure to the public, both in terms of exposure to gamma radiation and in the risk of inhalation of 222Rn and its decay products (Maduar et al., 2011).

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.
