Calcination of gypsum board is the dehydration of the chemically bound water from the board. This occurs as an endothermic decomposition reaction. When this reaction takes place, the gypsum

Gypsum wallboard undergoes calcination when exposed to heat. Quantitative analysis of the depth of calcination caused by a fire is of great use in fire investigations.

6. The process of calcining gypsum which comprises heating a mass of finely ground gypsum in a kettle to a temperature sufficient to convert said gypsum to calcium sulfate hemihydrate, maintaining a substantially continuous supply of gypsum being fed to said kettle, allowing a substantially continuous flow of calcined gypsum at the top of said mass to discharge, through …

Colourless, very light grey, light brown; colourless in transmitted light. Thenardite was named by J.L. Casaseca in 1826 and published both in French and English. In both articles, the mineral name was without the accent mark, even though …

Gypsum wallboard undergoes calcination when exposed to heat. Quantitative analysis of the depth of calcination caused by a fire is of great use in fire investigations.

The development of salt weathering can be discussed in terms of the environmental factors affecting the stability of the mineral phases involved. Gypsum, mirabilite, and …

Gypsum is the most common sulfate mineral on earth and is commonly associated with halite, anhydrite, sulfur, calcite and dolomite in recent coastal (sabkha or salina) and/or continental (playa ...

Hemihydrate gypsum is found in two forms: α-hemihydrate gypsum (α-CaSO 4 ⋅0.5H 2 O) and β-hemihydrate gypsum (β-CaSO 4 ⋅0.5H 2 O) [8]. The α-hemihydrate gypsum is produced by the autoclaving and salt solution method whereas β-hemihydrate gypsum is obtained through calcination at temperature lower than 200 °C.

The thermal behavior of a commercially widespread gypsum board (810 kg/m 3) under fire condition has been investigated. For this purpose two 12 mm thick gypsum boards are subjected to the standard ...

sulfates, including gypsum, mirabilite, and thenardite, whose development depends on the stone–environment interaction. The underground environment is extremely humid and water is the main driving force of salt weathering, having a twofold function.

X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and electron microprobe analyses show thenardite to be the dominant phase in the exterior coatings, in association with minor microcrystalline (<50 μm) laumontite and gypsum. Macrocrystalline (>1 mm) laumontite is the dominant phase in interior fracture coatings and is associated ...

The calcination processes could be divided in two main categories [4]: (i) direct heating processes in which gypsum is dehydrated on contact with flux gases; (ii) indirect heating processes in ...

gypsum, mirabilite, and thenardite can be interlinked with specific mineralogical and geochemical properties of Oya stone and its interaction with rainwater and groundw ater.

It is located in Neogene series consisting of diatomite, gypsum, sulphur and marly limestones. Diatomite levels are in the form of 2–3 m thick lenses . There are ... It was revealed that flux-calcination with thenardite was more advantageous than with traditional flux, and soda ash if diatomite was used as a filler mineral, respectively, in ...

In this study, the effects of the thenardite, which was used for the first time as a flux in the calcination of diatomite, and widely used soda ash on the industrially important...

The term plaster is generally used to describe the powder generated by calcination of gypsum and the slurry made when mixing with water. As the plaster and water mixture dries, water will chemically recombine with the hemihydrate gypsum, and the material will revert back to the original composition of gypsum. ... (thenardite and glauberite ...

The anhydrite in the precursor should be the result of the dehydration of gypsum in PG during calcination, which can extensively take place at 110–200 °C (Figure 3). Formation of gehlenite has been frequently reported during the co-thermal treatment of RM with gypsum and other materials [19,40]. No other hydraulic phases were detected in the ...

the case when the gypsum is calcined indirectly in a Pfeiffer GK gypsum calcining kettle. In this process, the natural gypsum is first fed to a Pfeiffer MPS mill where the material is dried and simultaneously ground to the required fineness for plaster. Subsequently, the ground and dried gyp-sum is delivered to the gypsum kettle ( Fig. 3).

C 4 A 3 Ŝ was formed in alkaline activation condition not by transformation of ettringite similar to non-alkaline activation condition, but via the reaction between katoite, gibbsite, portlandite and thenardite. Result from calcination temperature in case of C 3 A synthesis, a high temperature product (about 1300 0 C for clinkerization method ...

Calcination of gypsum board is the dehydration of the chemically bound water from the board. This occurs as an endothermic decomposition reaction. When this reaction takes place, the gypsum

The paper assesses the influence of the calcination temperature of synthetic gypsum binder 14 on the binding properties of innovative gypsum pastes, as well as on masonry and plastering mortars.

First, the gypsum raw material to be calcined is sent to the silo, and then sent to the calciner by the feeder for calcination. Under the action of mechanical dispersing force and hot air generated by the gas, the material undergoes processes such as dispersion, drying, calcination and strong high-speed homogenization. Calcined gypsum is ...

To sum up, calcination achieved better purification results and improved the properties of gypsum plaster [24, 28].Further, the phase transformation of PG and harmful impurities are related to the calcination temperature [24, 36].Moreover, it may be noted that, as in many published studies, impurity is the main factor affecting the properties of the plaster [37, 38].
