Abstract

The paper describes the feasibility of increasing the energy efficiency of the technologies of the comprehensive phosphogypsum conversion. The main directions in obtaining target products are reported. The classification of the phosphogypsum conversion technologies based on the level of energy consumption is suggested. The main variants of the development of energy-saving technologies of phosphogypsum conversion using the methods of integrating thermal processes and the state-of-the-art heat-power equipment are proposed.
