Abstract. Gypsum is a relatively common mineral that is widely available in agricultural areas and has a number of specialized agronomic uses, principally as a Ca source on legumes and as a soil conditioner on sodic soils. Recent research has suggest that the utility of gypsum may extend to a greater range of soils and crops than previously ...

Gypsum Statistics and Information. Gypsum, one of the most widely used minerals in the world, literally surrounds us every day. Most gypsum in the United States is used to make wallboard for homes, offices, and commercial buildings; a typical new American home contains more than 7 metric tons of gypsum alone. Moreover, gypsum is used …

The goafs of a gypsum mine created by the room pillar method often remain intact for several years or even decades before collapse. Under long-term stress, the stability and lag collapse of a gypsum mine goaf depend to a large extent on the ultimate support capacity of the gypsum ore pillars over time [42–47]. The uniaxial …

Gypsum Mining. Gypsum is a mineral (CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O) that occurs in nature as both a mineral and, when in massive form, a rock. Massive deposits are present as sedimentary beds of varying thickness in the subsurface within the Trinity Group in southwest Arkansas. Gypsum beds dip gently to the south, being part of the Early …

Gypsum used for plaster manufacture usually contains at least 90% CaSO 4 2H 2 O, a maximum of 0.02% NaCl (salt), and approximately 2% acid insolubles. Another major use of gypsum is in the cement industry, where it is added at the rate of 2–5% to cement clinker prior to final grinding to retard the setting rate of concrete.
