Description
The Dinh Vu phosphate fertilizer plant in Vietnam produces approximately 1 million ton phosphogypsum (PG) every year. PG contains low concentrations of radioactive material so that it has to be considered a TE-NORM (Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material) that requires active management or further treatment before it can be used as fertilizer supplement, building material or other. This work reviews present PG management in Vietnam and provides an outlook on future sustainable processing pathways.
