Various treatments of phosphogypsum samples extracted in Huelva, Spain, curing conditions and incorporation ratios were studied to evaluate the viability of being used as set regulator or as supplementary cementitious material to improve the mechanical behaviour of cement mortars. The physical-chemical properties, mechanical behaviour and environmental impact of these phosphogypsum-based cement mortars were determined. It was concluded that the phosphogypsum treatments and curing conditions influence the mineralogical transformations of mortars and therefore also the mechanical behaviour of the mortars tested. Furthermore, the heavy metal impurities in the phosphogypsum were immobilized in the cement matrix, leading to a clear improvement of the technical properties of cement mortars made with this waste compared to the traditional use of natural gypsum.
