Development of phosphogypsum-based full-solid-waste cementitious materials: Mechanical properties, hydration mechanisms, and pollutant stabilization mechanisms

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Phosphogypsum (PG), a byproduct of phosphate fertilizer production, contains multiple pollutants, and its improper disposal poses significant environmental and health risks. To mitigate these risks, this study leverages the sulfate-rich nature of PG by combining it with granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS), fly ash (FA), steel slag (SS), and carbide slag (CS) to develop fully solid-waste-based cementitious materials. Three PG-based formulations (PG+GBFS+CS, PG+FA+CS, and PG+SS+CS) were designed, and their mechanical performance, hydration behavior, and pollutant stabilization mechanisms were systematically investigated. The results reveal that CaSO4.2H2O in PG reacts effectively with the active SiO2 and Al2O3 in GBFS and the Ca(OH)2 in CS, generating substantial amounts of AFt and C-(A)-S-H gels, leading to a compact microstructure and reduced porosity. Consequently, the PG+GBFS+CS system exhibited the highest compressive strength, achieving 50.8 MPa at 28 days with an optimal mix of 55% PG, 44% GBFS, and 1% CS. In contrast, the lower reactivity and CaO content of FA and SS resulted in weaker interactions with PG, producing fewer hydration products, a looser microstructure, and lower strength in the PG+FA+CS and PG+SS+CS systems. Although the raw PG contained excessive levels of F, P, and As, the concentrations of all pollutants in the hardened PG-based materials complied with regulatory standards. The self-stabilization of pollutants was attributed to the hydration reactions of CS, GBFS, FA, and SS, which released OH- ions promoting the formation of insoluble hydroxide precipitates. Additionally, Ca2+ ions released during hydration facilitated the transformation of soluble pollutants into stable forms. The hydration products, including AFt, C-(A)-S-H, and AFm, further contributed to pollutant immobilization through ion exchange, adsorption, and encapsulation, ensuring that the leaching toxicity levels met the GB8978-1996 standard.
