The occurrence of anhydrite (Fig. 25.3), anhydrous calcium sulphate CaSO 4, is rather rare. Anhydrite usually forms underlays in gypsum deposits. Anhydrite has a dense crystal structure because of the absence of crystallised water (Table 25.1), which causes a higher value of mechanical properties. Download : Download full-size image; …

This chapter aims to present a summary on the main physical and geomechanical properties of evaporitic rocks (evaporites), that is, sedimentary rocks of chemical origin composed mainly of chlorides, carbonates and sulfates such as halite, gypsum, anhydrite, sylvinite, carnallite, and calcite. This text deals with the geological …

Gypsum–anhydrite is a relevant mineral system of high interest for many areas of sc ience and industry, such as geology, 18–20 engineering materials for construction, 21,22 heritage conservation, 23 industrial processing, 24,25 geotechnical engineering, 26–28 and also for artistic, painting, medical, or pharmaceutical applications. ...

The optimisation should always be carried out in plant grinding system as the optimum gypsum is also a function of particle size distribution of the cements. ... The anhydrite gypsum has higher SO3 contents of 51 to 53 per cent due to which its optimum usage level would be much lower that imported mineral gypsum/chemical gypsum, its …

Diagenetic cycle of gypsum-anhydrite-gypsum transformation according to Murray 1964. Gypsification. During the last stage of the diagenetic cycle, anhydrite is exposed to the influence of meteoric and groundwater. The access of water molecules into the structure …

Agro-gypsum require low quality gypsum / anhydrite that can also be quarried on a big scale by deploying proper mining machinery as given in Para 3.3.2 3.4 PROCESS TECHNOLOGY The process technology of the plant to produce Agrogypsum, Gypsum Plaster and Plaster of Paris is given as under in which agrogypsum is taken after …

Flue gas desulfurization gypsum (FGD gypsum) is obtained from the desulphurization of combustion gases in fossil fuel power plants. FGD gypsum can be used to produce anhydrite binder. This research is devoted to the investigation of the influence of the calcination temperature of FGD gypsum, the activators K2SO4 and Na2SO4, and …

Gypsum growth combined with water uptake by the clay minerals is the main cause of the swelling process. Iden-tifying the conditions under which gypsum rather than anhydrite represents the stable phase is crucial for under-standing rock swelling. As existing studies on the anhy-drite–gypsum–water equilibrium appear to be contradictory

tures in these rocks. The gypsum-anhydrite-gypsum transitions and recrystallization processes are also addressed, because of their importance to karst development. Many studies have been undertaken on the solubility and dissolution of sulphate minerals, in the context of construction engineering and karst processes. Important works include these of

It was found that direct structural controlled synthesis of anhydrite can be performed at usual conditions for synthesis of gypsum: 55 °C and atmospheric pressure. …

The main aim of this report is the comparison of two clinker samples with respect to anhydrite (CaSO4) and gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) in different mass fractions. The result of this research has ...

Erbs et al. (2015) evaluated the calcination of gypsum from gypsum plasterboard sheets and commercial gypsum at temperatures of 160 °C, 180 °C and 200 °C for periods of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 h. The best results were obtained at 180 °C to the residence period of 24 h in the tests for setting time, axial compressive strength, splitting tensile ...

The swelling of anhydrite-bearing clay rocks, also known as clay-sulfate rocks, has caused large problems in many geotechnical projects since more than 140 years ago with the construction of the Schanz railway tunnel in southern Germany (Schädlich et al. 2013).Despite advances in engineering methods and practical experiences gained …
