The present invention is based on solid-state reaction or reactions in the
presence of small amounts of water, between phospho gypsum and
agglutinating-neutralizing agents, principally though the application of
oxy and hydroxy compounds, without discounting use of the respective
carbonates of magnesium, aluminum and principally calcium, in addition to
mixtures of these, and the subsequent preparation of self-hardening
pellets which facilitate transport and handling. The technological
process associated with the invention notably simplifies both the number
and type of individual operations, and the preparation of pellets from
mixtures of phosphor gypsum; it also reduces energy costs by operating at
low temperatures (150.degree.C.) during short periods (1-2 hours), while
reducing the quantity of neutralizing agents, and minimizing the volume
of water required for the process.
