The invention discloses a method for preparing a 
calcium carbonate raw material and SO2 by utilizing high-
sulfur petroleum coke to decompose 
phosphogypsum, i.e., the high-
sulfur petroleum coke with the carbon 
mass fraction higher than 80 percent and the 
sulfur mass fraction higher than 2 percent to 6 percent is used for reducing and decomposing the 
phosphogypsum to prepare burner gas with the SO2 
volume percentage higher than or equal to 15 percent. The burner gas can be directly used as qualified virgin gas for the two-conversion and two-absorption acid-making technology so as to produce the 
solid product, CaO, with the 
mass fraction of higher than 50 percent, and can also be directly used as a chemical 
raw material, for instance, for making 
cement. No waste is generated in the process, the 
decomposition rate of the 
phosphogypsum is higher than or equal to 95 percent, and the desulphurization degree is higher than or equal to 90 percent. By utilizing the technology for decomposing the phosphogypsum, pretreatment is not required and the concentration of SO2 is stable in the burner gas. The content and the thermal value of carbon in the high-sulfur 
petroleum coke are comparatively high, and the contents of 
nitrogen and sulfur are higher than that of other fuels, thereby reducing 
reaction temperature, 
energy consumption and production cost, simultaneously, environment 
pollution is not generated and waste is changed into valuable. The utilization of components of the phosphogypsum is maximized during the technical process so as to solve the problem of realizing the harmlessness and sales of the phosphogypsum as 'dangerous waste'.
