Phosphogypsum – Conversion and Capitalization

This scientific and technological work presents a new global approach to phosphogypsum utilization — transforming industrial waste into valuable material assets. Based on long-term research and industrial experience, the book proposes innovative methods of converting phosphogypsum into high-value products such as potassium sulfate, calcium chloride, and rare earth element concentrates. It provides detailed analysis of global phosphogypsum production, market potential, and environmental challenges, demonstrating that ecology can be profitable. The author introduces a model of circular economy where every ton of industrial byproduct generates real capital, supporting sustainable industry and environmental restoration. Key topics: Phosphogypsum as a global raw material reserve Economic and environmental aspects of conversion Rare earth elements (REE) recovery technologies Principles of zero-waste industrial integration The concept "Ecology – It is Profitable" This book is aimed at scientists, environmental engineers, investors, and policymakers seeking real solutions to one of the world's largest industrial waste problems.
