Phosphogypsum is a by-product of the phosphorus fertilizer industry, produced during the processing of phosphate rock to make phosphoric acid. It contains elevated levels of radioactivity and various impurities, making it a challenging waste material to manage. Proper disposal and storage of phosphogypsum are necessary to prevent environmental contamination.

There are two main types of gypsum: natural gypsum, which is formed through the evaporation of seawater, and synthetic gypsum, which is produced as a byproduct of industrial processes such as flue gas desulfurization in power plants or scrubbing of phosphogypsum in the production of phosphoric acid.
