Disclosed is a non-sintering method for preparing an artificial cobblestone from dredged soil, comprising the steps of: (1) preparing raw materials; (2) proportioning four types of materials; (3) preparing high-strength non-sintering ceramsite; (4) preparing a cobblestone core; (5) preparing a primary product of the cobblestone; (6) polishing; (7) curing; and (8) forming a finished product. In the method, the dredged soil is used as the raw material to prepare the artificial cobblestone with a core-shell structure, so that an application range of dredged soil recycling utilization can be widened, and a method for preparing artificial cobblestones is provided. By employing the non-sintering method for preparation, the energy consumption for production is low, and a decorative effect of the cobblestone can be achieved.

A construction and/or installation method for using phosphogypsum in embankment improvement includes preparing a phosphogypsum-containing embankment mixture, setting moisture content of an embankment mixture, paving a modified phosphogypsum-containing embankment, and reversely layering anti-seepage cushion layers from two sides of the embankment to the center of the embankment. The preparation of a phosphogypsum-containing embankment mixture can include the following: 90 parts by weight of phosphogypsum and 10 parts by weight of cement are weighted, uniformly mixed and stirred to obtain a base material mixture; and 2-4 parts by weight of sodium silicate is weighted and dissolved in water, and an obtained solution is added to the base material mixture to obtain the phosphogypsum-containing embankment mixture. The construction and/or installation method for using phosphogypsum in an embankment improvement can satisfy embankment strength and rebound modulus requirements, and can be widely applied to a filling-deficient area and an area with a relatively high yield of phosphogypsum solid wastes.

Provided is a composite material including a blend of components. The blend includes phosphogypsum, bitumen and particulate matter. The phosphogypsum may be present in an amount of at least 10% w/w out of the total weight of said composite material. Also provided herein is a method of producing the composite material, by, at least, mixing phosphogypsum and particulate matter at a temperature above 150 C. for a time sufficient to receive an essentially dry particulate mixture in which the amount of the phosphogypsum is such to obtain a composite material having at least 10% w/w out of the total dry weight of said composite material. While mixing molten bitumen may be introduced into the essentially dry particulate mixture to obtain the composite material. Articles of manufacture including the composite material are also disclosed.
