They compared the setting and mechanical properties of phospho-gypsum cement that were prepared in different ratios with Portland cement containing natural gypsum and found that the highest 28-day compressive strength is associated with 3% phosphor-gypsum cement.
The CSAB system with additional gypsum will have ettringite as the major hydration product. The surplus gypsum will promote ettringite formation at the expense of monosulfate, limiting its capacity to bind carbon dioxide. The microstructure of PC system will also be influenced by blending it with CSA admixture or CSAB cement and gypsum.
This study investigates the effect on the mechanical properties of cement-stabilised silty soft soil (CSS) using nano-gypsum (NG). Unconfined compression strength (UCS) test trials were conducted ...

What is Gypsum? Gypsum is a mineral and is hydrated calcium sulfate and chemical form. Gypsum is also known as retarding agent in cement because its main function in cement is to control the initial and final setting time of the cement.
FGD gypsum is evaluated as a possible partial or total substitute of natural gypsum for the control of cement setting. Extended laboratory and industrial scale trials in cement and concrete mixes were carried out.
One of the main quality issues faced by cement plants using the chemical gypsum was the presence of contamination with azo dyes in the gypsum which resulted in market …
Chemical analysis of cement raw materials provides information about the chemical properties of cement. Tricalcium aluminate (C3A) The low content of C3A makes the cement resistant to sulfates. Gypsum …

The preparation of gypsum-based self-leveling mortar (GSLM) from solid waste-derived sulfoaluminate cement-modified hemihydrate gypsum is an effective path to enhance its mechanical properties. However, the phosphorus impurities in phosphogypsum (PG) still pose a challenge to the hemihydrate gypsum & sulfoaluminate cement composite system.
Gypsum plays a crucial role in cement. Though it is used in a small quantity, in the range of 2.5-3.0 percent in terms of SO3, gypsum's role in cement is significant, more predominantly at early ages.
Having appropriate performance tests on the receipt chemical gypsum would help the cement plants to overcome the cement quality issues in use of chemical gypsum and would result in usage of higher percentage of the chemical gypsum.
Usage of industrial by-products such as ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), gypsum, and limestone powder have gained prominence in concrete production.
