From atom level to macroscopic scale: Structural mechanism of gypsum
1. Introduction1.1. General context. Gypsum plaster is an inorganic binder that is prepared in a two-step process. The first step is dehydration: heated to 100–200 °C, gypsum (CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O) releases water as vapor [1, 2] and, depending on temperature and water vapor partial pressure (p H2O) [3, 4] forms either hemihydrate (CaSO 4 •½H 2 …

Lump formation in cement silo | PPT
4. Temperature of cement Cement temperature must be less than 80 Deg C when conveyed into silo. If it is more than 80 deg C the crystalline water from Gypsum gets dehydrated and moisture moves to the colder part ie center cone and the walls .This moisture Hydrates the fine cement and causes cake formation.

Gypsum dehydration in cement and its impact on air-void …
At temperatures between 75 and 110 °C, dehydration of gypsum leading to the creation of hemihydrate may occur in the cement mill or silo [20]. The initial rate of C3A hydration is strongly influenced by the source of the sulphate being used; therefore it should be considered along with the type of sulphate-bearing material [21,22 ...

The role of gypsum in cement
Shreesh Khadilkar reviews the present situation of gypsum, and takes us through a variety of gypsum products, its merits and demerits. Gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O) is used widely in various industries either as gypsum, i.e., the gypsum di-hydrate crystalline variety or as the gypsum hemi hydrates, also known as plaster of Paris (POP) or …
