Phosphogypsum impacts on soil chemical properties and vegetation tissue following reclamation
Phosphogypsum (PG) is a by-product of phosphorus fertilizer that is typically stacked near production sites. Phosphogypsum contains trace elements and naturally occurring radioactive materials which may be hazardous to the surrounding environment. Phosphogypsum stack reclamation typically involves p...

| description | Phosphogypsum (PG) is a by-product of phosphorus fertilizer that is typically stacked near production sites. Phosphogypsum contains trace elements and naturally occurring radioactive materials which may be hazardous to the surrounding environment. Phosphogypsum stack reclamation typically involves placing a soil cap and seeding grass to create a barrier for reducing environmental impacts; using woody species is uncommon. This study used three soil treatments with grass and woody species to determine whether mixing PG with soil affects soil chemical properties, and metal and radionuclide concentrations in tissue. None of the elements in soil was above Canadian guidelines for industrial land use. Aluminum, beryllium, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, nickel, and vanadium were significantly higher in both study and reference sites than in pure PG; cadmium, calcium, fluoride, and strontium were significantly higher in pure PG. There was a poor correlation between soil and plant concentrations for most elements indicating trace elements were not in a bioavailable form. Trace elemental concentrations in plant tissue generally differed significantly with vegetation type but not within similar species. Trace elements and isotopes in PG were not high enough to affect plant growth. Among the isotopes,
222
Ra emissions differed significantly with vegetation covers; activity of
226
Ra in pure PG was above Canadian guidelines, but lower in vegetation tissue. This study suggests 15 cm soil mixed with PG can be used for PG stack revegetation when fast-growing
