2.1 Test Matrix. Five total mix designs are considered for this study including one control batch, two batches that involve fine gypsum as a partial replacement for cement in different amounts (20 and 10%), and two batches that involve the whole gypsum as partial replacements for 10 and 20% of cement in the concrete.

The main purpose of adding gypsum in the cement is to slow down the hydration process of cement once it is mixed with water. The process involved in hydration of cement is that, when the water is added into cement, it starts reacting with the C3A and hardens. What kind of products can gypsum powder be used for? Thus, …

25.2.2 Gypsum concrete. Gypsum concrete can be normal weight (with an average density 1800–2500 kg/m 3 ), lightweight (500–1800 kg/m 3) and extra-lightweight (less than 500 kg/m 3 ). For normal-weight, concrete coarse aggregates (crushed stone and gravel) and fine aggregates (natural sand, screenings of crushed rocks and industrial wastes ...

Gypsum products manufactured from FGD gypsum can reach up to 90% recycled content — far beyond the recycled contents of Portland cement (PC) or high alumina cement (HAC). Gypsum products made with recaptured gypsum may also assist in obtaining credits for recycled content or regional material use under the Leadership in …

Concrete/cement and asphalt production. Natural gypsum can be used in concrete production as a replacement for calcium aluminate cement (CAC), opening the possibility of replacing the natural gypsum with FGDG in this application with success, even though some studies have reported a reduction of compressive strength and water …

The terms cement and concrete are used interchangeably, although cement is actually an ingredient of concrete. An important property of gypsum is that it is naturally fire-resistant. You can use a pre-mixed product combining the cement ingredients with the right amount of gypsum. As soon as you add water to the mix, the hardening …

Gypsum plays a crucial role in cement production, contributing to its workability, strength development, setting time control, and durability. By acting as a retarder, it ensures adequate time for construction operations and imparts desirable properties to the final concrete structures. The judicious use of gypsum in cement …

During this process, these materials partially fuse to form nodular shaped clinker by broking of chemical bonds of the raw materials and recombined into new compounds. The clinker is cooled and ground to a fine powder with the addition of about 3 to 5% of gypsum. By this process, the product formed is Portland cement.

All cement types contain approximately 4–5% gypsum to control the setting time of the product. Other mineral components such as slag, power plant fly ash, limestone, and other materials are used to replace clinker to produce blended cement. The process of cement grinding is shown in supplementary material.

Gypsum's function in cement. Gypsum is a key component in regulating how quickly cement hardens. During the final grinding stage of the cement-making process, a little amount of gypsum is added after the clinker has cooled. Cement is controlled by gypsum; without it, the cement will be set up too quickly to allow for the …
