Plant Workers - What is the White Mountain on Hwy 30 @ Hwy 3115?

Bauxite hills?


Some sort of feedstock. By Williams and PCS, right?




No...bauxite is reddish

It's slightly radioactive gypsum. It's an ingredient used to make fertilizer.

It was a running joke that they could be used for skiing events on the off chance that Kip Holdin talked the Olympic committee into allowing Baton Rouge to host the Winter Olympics (all bobsled events would be at Blue Bayou, of course, haha)

Pass it all the time - what is it?

fluorogypsum
part of it is a byproduct of making HF at Honeywell, some of it is from PCS I think from their ammonia plant

if you turn down 3115 and go to river road, on your left will huge mounds of fluorogypsum before reacted

Phosphogypsum, It's a by product of a chemicaal made at PCS. It has nothing to do with the process of makin HF. Honeywell has no involvement. If you go to the other end of 3115 you can see what it starts as.

They're called gyp-stacks. It's a by product of making fertilizer.
