The dehydration of gypsum to hemihydrate has been studied for decades because it is an important model reaction for understanding fluid-triggered earthquakes, and due to the global use of plaster ...
The spectral behavior of gypsum dehydration in the visible to near-infrared (350–2500 nm) wavelength range was investigated by partially dehydrating the four main habits of gypsum (alabaster, satin spar, selenite, and massive) to form bassanite. Powdered samples of gypsum dehydrated at 100–115 °C and hand samples dehydrated at …
The dehydration of gypsum CaSO 4.2H 2 O has been studied, at negligible water vapour pressure, by in situ infrared (IR) spectroscopy and by thermogravimetry to determine whether intermediate phases (CaSO 4. n H 2 O) exist, other than the hemihydrate with n =0.5, and also to compare the mechanism of the dehydration process when measured …
Plaster, made of calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CaSO 4 •½H 2 O) and/or γ-anhydrite (CaSO 4) is obtained by dehydration of gypsum (CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O) at 100–200 °C. When mixed with water, it dissolves while new gypsum crystals precipitate. Plaster's microstructures affect its reactivity and setting properties, but are poorly understood due …
695 Neomorphism of the Middle Devonian Ratner limestone related to dehydration of gypsum in south-central Saskatchewan Qilong Fu and Hairuo Qing Abstract: The Middle Devonian Ratner Formation in south-central Saskatchewan consists of laminated carbonate and interlaminated to interbedded carbonate and anhydrite, and the Ratner carbonate is …

Diagram 1 - Dehydration. The first process is the formation of hemihydrate or anhydrite from dihydrate. To obtain more information about this step, gypsum crystals were grown from sodium sulphate and calcium chloride via a diffusion process. A large test tube, approximately 200mL in volume, was filled with 3g of sodium sulphate (Na 2 SO 4).
Oman: Oman exported 11.2Mt of natural gypsum from its Port of Salalah in 2023, up by 11% year-on-year from 9.9Mt in 2022. Zawawi Minerals has reported that the main destination for exports was …
This work firstly shows that the observed crystallization inside of gypsum during dehydration is the formation of alpha-hemihydrate. Gypsum crystal at (a) 135 • C, and (b) 142 • C. Crystals ...
Gypsum: Oman is the world's largest gypsum exporter by weight, shipping approximately 8.74 million tons in 2021 primarily to ASEAN and South/East African countries, according to local press. Chromite: Approximately 30 million metric tons of chromite ore are in Oman, according to the Oman Chromite Company. Oman is …
ture at which the dehydration events occur increases (T dehydration = 425.5 K in an open system, T dehydration = 439 K in a sealed system, in the presence of excess water). Compared with the wealth of high-temperature studies available, there is a lack of experimental studies on the gypsum-anhydrite dehydration reaction sequences at
"Going forward, importing countries will be increasingly looking to the Sultanate of Oman to meet their gypsum requirements. At the current rate of growth in exports, Oman's share is projected to rise to around 48 - 50 per cent of demand, which equates to over 130 million MT over the 2022- 2031 timeframe." ...
Because gypsum contains water in its structure, it can accommodate large shear deformation under external load. Laboratory experiments show that during gypsum dehydration, the escaping water weakens the rock, facilitating deformation. In our study, we employ microindentation tests to examine the micromechanics of gypsum during …
