Calcium sulphate dihydrate (CaSO4·2H2O or gypsum) is used widely as building material because of its excellent fire resistance, aesthetics, and low price. Hemihydrate occurs …
The byproduct of salt gypsum generated in the process of salt production is generally composed of anhydrous gypsum (CaSO 4), hemihydrate gypsum (CaSO 4 ·(1/2)H 2 O) and dihydrate gypsum (CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O) (Klepetsanis et al. 1999; Tang et al. 2011:27–30). Theoretically, the higher the heating temperature during salt making, the …
Clinker is an intermediary product produced in the manufacturing of Portland cement. Clinker is granular substance of diameter 3-25m & used as a binder, whereas cement is fine powdered & a binding agent. Clinker is used to make various types of cement.
The plaster of Paris is prepared from gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydrate (CSD): CaSO 4 ⋅ 2H 2 O) which is mined from the earth or synthesized. When heated at about 160 °C, gypsum is converted in its hemihydrate form (CSH) which is used in plaster of Paris. The chemical reaction responsible for the setting and hardening of calcium sulfate ...
Cement manufacturers intergrind calcium sulfate with clinker in the finish mill to provide control for the aluminate reactions during hydration. The calcium sulfate is typically added as gypsum, but some of this gypsum can dehydrate to calcium sulfate hemihydrate or soluble anhydrite, depending on the conditions in the finish mill.

Introduction. The setting behaviour of cement is mainly due to the reaction of tricalcium aluminate (C 3 A), 3CaO · Al 2 O 3.The reaction of pure C 3 A with water leads to immediate stiffening of the paste, known as flash set. Thus, gypsum is added to the cement clinker during the grinding of Portland cement to retard the rapid reaction …
