Role of gypsum in cement Industry:
Limestone,
gypsum, slag & other additives are the most common raw materials used in
cement production. Gypsum is a soft, transparent or translucent mineral
composed of crystallised calcium sulphate (CaSO4), found naturally in
sedimentary deposits. Gypsum is added to cement to
regulate the extreme setting reaction which occurs in the presence of water. Besides influencing
the setting time, gypsum also has an influence on other properties of cement
such as strength development, volume stability etc.
Flue gas
de-sulphurized (FGD) gypsum (An Important By-product of cement industry):
FGD gypsum results from the emissions
cleaning process known as flue gas desulphurisation (FGD), at coal fired
electricity generating stations. The cleaning of flue gases is carried out when
finely ground limestone (or lime) reacts with sulphur dioxide emissions to
produce a pure gypsum. In some cement industries, a
multistep manufacturing process with electric utilities are carried out to meet
precise product specifications for FGD gypsum. Followings are the importance of
FGD gypsum, as by-product of cement industry:
·Contribution as an end product
·Environment Friendly
·Highly Economic
·Higher Purity Than Natural resources
