Abstract: The reaction characteristics of the thermal decomposition of phosphogypsum with coal as reducing agent to prepare CaO and SO2 were investigated in N2  atmosphere.The output gas and the solid decomposition products were analyzed by gas analyzer and XRD,respectively.The influences of particle size of coal,mix ratio of raw materials,and reaction temperature on the thermal decomposition of phosphogypsum were studied.The results showed that the optimum conditions to produce SO2 and CaO were:the coal particle size was less than 150 μm,the amount-of-substance ratio of C to CaSO4 was 0.8,and the decomposition temperature was 1 000 ℃.Under optimum conditions,the maximum SO2 volume fraction of the decomposition gas was 12.5%,and the CaO mass fraction of the solid product was 65.32%,which can be used as a raw material of cement or a CO2 sorbent.
