Influence of temperature, particle size and humidity on the gypsum dehydration process. Investigations in a Cahn-thermobalance
(1992) In Zement-Kalk-Gips 45(9). p.478-482- Abstract
- The aim of the present work was to compare natural and chemical gypsums with respect to dehydration rate and to investigate the influence of air temperature, particle size and air humidity. No difference in calcination rate could be observed between natural and FGD-gypsum. However the small samples did not permit tests of setting times or simulation of the mixer behaviour. The calcination rate was shown to decrease by a factor of 2 for particle sizes from 40 mum to 500 mum. However over the range 40-150 mum of interest in commercial units the decrease was only 20%. For FGD-gypsum the calcination rate was independent of the particle size between 40-100 mum. In this work the humidity has been shown to have a large influence on the formation... (More)

For FGD-gypsum the calcination rate was independent of the particle size between 40-100 mum. In this work the humidity has been shown to have a large influence on the formation of hemihydrate and anhydrite and the fundamental equations proposed by Kelly have been shown to agree well with the experimental data.
