This study has been carried out to evaluate the leaching behavior of Tunisian phosphogypsum (PG) tailings in Skhira city (southern Tunisia). Two PG samples, including old and freshly deposited samples, were characterized in terms of physical, geotechnical, mechanical, chemical and mineralogical properties. Special attention was paid to their leaching behavior when subjected to standard leaching tests. Our results indicated that both samples are mainly composed of more than 31.85% CaO and 31.4% SO3, indicating the predominance of gypsum. This was further confirmed by XRD patterns that revealed the presence of characteristic reflections of gypsum, brushite, quartz and Maladrite. Compressive strength after 90 d exceeded 769 kPa, but still lower than that of natural sand (1,800 kPa). Leaching test was proposed as an appropriate method to determine the released contaminants from PG. The obtained results showed that Fluorine and Phosphorus are the most released elements from PG with 40 and 30%, respectively. The released Se, Cd, and Zn were the only trace elements that exceeded the threshold limits. It seemed that leached element concentrations were independent aging or particle size of the PG. Based on the assessment of leaching behavior, an integrated management approach of the PG deposits was proposed.

This study is about the development of a non-sintered binder (NSB) which does not require a sintering process by using the industrial by-products Phosphogypsum (PG), Waste Lime (WL) and Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GBFS). In this report, through SEM analysis of the NSB paste hardening body, micropore analysis of paste using the mercury press-in method and microstructure observation were executed to consider the influence of the formation of the pore structure and the distribution of pore volume on strength, and the following conclusions were reached. 1) Pore structure of NSB paste of early age is influenced by hydrate generation amount by GBFS and activator. 2) Through observing the internal microstructure of NSB binder paste, it was found that the strength expression at early age due to hydration reaction was achieved with a large amount of ettringite serving as the frame with C-S-H gel generated at the same time. It was confirmed that C-S-H gel wrapped around ettringite, and as time passed, the amount generated continually increased, and C-S-H gel tightly filled the pores of hardened paste, forming a dense network-type web structure. 3) For NSB-type cement, the degree of formation of gel pores below $10{\mu}m$ had a greater influence on strength improvement than simple pore reduction by charging capillary pores, and the pore size that had the greatest effect on strength was micropores with diameter below $10{\mu}m$.

일반적으로 사용되는 액체섬광계수기를 이용한 $^{226}Ra$ 분석에는 Ba 공침법을 통해 얻어진 $Ba(Ra)SO_4$ 침전물을 이용하게 된다. 그러나, 인산석고 침출수의 경우 ${SO_4}^{2-}$, $Ca^{2+}$등의 이온이 다량 존재하여 순수한 $Ba(Ra)SO_4$ 침전물을 얻기가 힘들기 때문에 정확한 분석이 매우 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 분석화학에서 금속이온의 분리에 일반적으로 많이 활용되는 Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)를 이용하여 인산석고 침출수에서의 Ba 공침법을 개발하였고 실제 인산석고 야적장 주변 침출수의 분석에 적용하였다. 또한 개발된 분석 방법은 침출수와 유사한 매질의 $^{226}Ra$ 모의표준시료을 제조하여 확인하였고 IAEA-434 인증표준물질을 통해 분석 신뢰성을 검증하였다. 실제 인산석고 야적장 침출수를 분석한 결과 0.102 $Bq{\cdot}kg^{-1}$의 농도를 보였고 검출하한치는 3.4 $mBq{\cdot}kg^{-1}$였다. $^{226}Ra$ 모의표준시료 분석을 통한 측정농도는 첨가한 농도와 1% 내외로 잘 일치하며 좋은 상관관계($R^2$=0.99)를 보였다. 인증표준물질의 분석 결과 인증값과 비교하여 5.8% (k=1)이내로 잘 일치하였다.

The effect of 2% of $P_2O_5$ substituted in gypsum(5 mol% as $HPO_3$) on the early hydration characteristics of $C_3A$ were investigated and then gypsum only and gypsum mixed with $Ca(H_2PO_4)_2$.$H_2O$(2% as $P_2O_5$) were studied separately for comparison. The early hydration reaction of $C_3A$ with each gypsum were examined by measuring the rate of heat libera-tion of hydration with calorimeter and by analysing the hydration products with X-ray diffractometer and differential thermal analyser. It was shown that phosphogypsum substituted with $P_2O_6$ in the crystal lattice accelerated exceedingly the formation of the ettrignite and following hydrated products. However the other gypsum especially gypsum without any phosphate delayed the formation of various hydration products, It was consequently suggested that when phosphogypsum are used as the retarder of cement setting its reta-rding effect for setting of cement is not ascribed to the retardation of ettringite formation.

The world's cement demand is anticipated to increase about 2.558$\%$ every year until the first half of the 21st century. To be closed the increase of cenment damand and simultaneously comply with the Kyoto Protocal, cement that gives less carbon dioxide(Co2) discharge should be urgently developed. If cement can be manufactured with industrial byproducts such as granulated blast furnace slag(GBFS), phosphogypsum(PG), and waste lime(WL) instead of clinker as its counterproposal, there would be many advantages including maximum use of these industrial byproducts for high value-added resources, conservation of natural resources and energy by omitting the use of clinker, minimized environmental pollution problems caused by Co2 discharge and reduction of the cost. So this study aims to solve the problems by manufacturing non-sintered cement.

Background: Phosphogypsum is material produced as a byproduct in fertilizer industry and is generally used for building materials. This material may contain enhanced radium-226 (²²⁶Ra) activity concentration compared to its natural concentration that may lead to indoor radon accumulation. Therefore, an accurate measurement method is proposed in this study to determine ²²⁶Ra activity concentration in phosphogypsum sample, considering the potential radon leakage from the sample container. Materials and Methods: The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) phosphogypsum reference material was used as a sample in this study. High-purity germanium (HPGe) gamma spectrometry was used to measure the activity concentration of the ²²⁶Ra decay products, i.e., ²¹⁴Bi and ²¹⁴Pb. Marinelli beakers sealed with three different sealing methods were used as sample containers. Due to the potential leakage of radon from the Marinelli beaker (MB), correction to the activity concentration resulted in gamma spectrometry is needed. Therefore, the leaked fraction of radon escaped from the sample container was calculated and added to the gamma spectrometry measured values. Results and Discussion: Total activity concentration of ²²⁶Ra was determined by summing up the activity concentration from gamma spectrometry measurement and calculated concentration from radon leakage correction method. The results obtained from ²¹⁴Bi peak were 723.4 ± 4.0 Bq·kg^-1 in MB1 and 719.2 ± 3.5 Bq·kg^-1 in MB2 that showed about 5% discrepancy compared to the certified activity. Besides, results obtained from ²¹⁴Pb peak were 741.9 ± 3.6 Bq·kg^-1 in MB1 and 740.1 ± 3.4 Bq·kg^-1 in MB2 that showed about 2% difference compared to the certified activity measurement of ²²⁶Ra concentration activity. Conclusion: The results show that radon leakage correction was calculated with insignificant discrepancy to the certified values and provided improvement to the gamma spectrometry. Therefore, measuring ²²⁶Ra activity concentration in TENORM (technologically enhanced naturally occurring radioactive material) sample using radon leakage correction can be concluded as a convenient and accurate method that can be easily conducted with simple calculation.
