The paper describes an investigation into the dehydration behaviour of a natural and a phosphogypsum under isothermal conditions. The purpose of the work was to assess whether there is a difference in the dehydration behaviour and what effects it could possibly have in practical applications in the cement industry.

Gypsum quantitative determination in cements may be done from their thermogravimetric analysis (TG) data, which uses the mass of the water released from its gypsum dehydration during cement analysis, to determinate its content stoichiometrically. Depending on the operational conditions used to mill the gypsum with clinker, its partial dehydration may …

[3] Gypsum has repeatedly been used as an analog material principally for its abundance and its low dehydration temperature. Ballirano and Melis [2009] concluded that in air, at a water vapor partial pressure of ca. 1.4 kPa, and in the temperature range of 348 to 403 K, gypsum (CaSO 4 •2H 2 O) dehydrates to γ -anhydrite (CaSO 4 ) via an ...

system). Such effect is also reflected industrially, where the dehydration of natural gypsum is usually associated with a higher degree of coating on the mill balls. Such effect has an obvious negative impact on the cement production process, which can be minimized through the addition of the correct products (e.g. grinding aids).

Gypsum is an industrial material used in many applications such as building and chemical industry, fertilizer manufacture, medicine and dentistry. In these industries, there is need for finely ground gypsum. Energy consumption is very high in grinding processes. Therefore, the effects on breakage kinetics of powder filling and ball filling were investigated on gypsum …

advantageous, too high a degree of dehydration (or too much dehydrated gypsum) can lead to problems. As less grinding energy is used in producing a cement of a required fineness in an OK mill and the retention time in the mill is shorter, the product will not be heated up as much as in a ball mill.

This is called dehydration of Gypsum. The degree of Dehydration is a question of temperature and time. The higher the temperature, the faster is the dehydration and the longer the time the more complete is the dehydration. It starts in the mill and continues in the silo at Temperatures above 60 Deg.
