The rate of hydration of the cement phases, however, will increase with increasing temperature, and the resulting thickening and setting times will decrease. …
The hydration of cement is an exothermic process. This means that a considerable amount of heat is evolved in this chemical reaction, which is termed as the heat of hydration. This heat surges the temperature of the paste. The instant water is added, the temperature suddenly hikes up due to the aluminates reacting with water …
Received: 28 January 2015/Accepted: 24 September 2015/Published online: 15 October 2015 Akade´miai Kiado´, Budapest, Hungary 2015 Abstract 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 …
Gypsum is added to the cement primarily to retard the hydration of the aluminate and ferrite phases. The effectiveness of the gypsum depends on the rate at which the relevant ionic species dissolve and come in contact with each other.
The most common cement setting retarder used in industry is natural gypsum, which is primarily a dihydrated product of calcium sulfate (CaSO 4 · 2H 2 O). The need for gypsum in cement increases with increasing amount of C 3 A and alkalies in the clinker and the fineness of the cement [1], [2], [3]. Gypsum also promotes cement …
The influence of gypsum dehydration on the structure of the air void system has already been proved in earlier papers [45]. The same results were obtained in the …
results in low levels of gypsum dehydration, which increases the risk of cement prehydration in the silo. Silo problems have occurred in some cement plants, when …
1. Ultrasonic results indicate gypsum hydration reaction consists of two stages: the dissolution of hemihydrate in the first stage and the nucleation and precipitation of …
Dehydration boundaries of the gypsum–H 2 O system in the range of 300–460 K. The symbols represent the experimental data of Kelley: (27) open circles and diamond denote the water vapor partial pressure of gypsum–hemihydrate and hemihydrate–soluble anhydrite equilibrium, respectively.
Cement cooling is an important step in the cement production process, as it reduces the chance of gypsum dehydration and the formation of lumps, reducing the overall quality of the final cement. The end users of cement are also demanding lower cement temperatures in order to minimize the evaporation
Cement milling and gypsum dehydration. Because the cement gets hot due to the heat generated by grinding, gypsum can be partly dehydrated, forming hemihydrate, or plaster of Paris - 2CaSO 4.H 2 O. On further heating, hemihydrate dehydrates further to a form of calcium sulfate known as soluble anhydrite (~CaSO 4). This is calcium sulfate with a ...
As for the dehydration of CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O, the dehydration of synthetic gypsum proceeds via multi-step reactions. Using a heating rate of 5°C min −1, the very …
As for the dehydration of CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O, the dehydration of synthetic gypsum proceeds via multi-step reactions. Using a heating rate of 5°C min −1, the very slow dehydration of CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O and impurities in the gypsum samples start at temperatures lower than 95°C.
The actual gypsum content in cement has been determined (Figure 6) against the calculated loss as derived from the respective TGA curve of cement (Figure 6). The gypsum content was found to be 2.10 % …

The dehydration products of gypsum under different temperature and water vapor pressure were investigated by thermodynamic theory. Additionally, the rehydration mechanism of soluble anhydrite was also studied by Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. The thermodynamic calculation results reveal that the dehydration mechanism of gypsum …

A number of reactions can potentially occur in the cement mill and silo: 1. Dehydration: gypsum or wet materials Gypsum dihydrate = > Gypsum hemihydrate/anhydrate + water Wet material = > Material + water The released water might react and prehydrate the cement. 2. Prehydration: cement Cement + water = > Prehydrated cement Figure 1.
Abstract. Mass losses vary between 13.7 and 16.5% and heat of dehydration values between 377 and 420 J g −1 for the dehydration of ground and mixed inhomogeneous gypsum samples. As for the dehydration of CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O, the dehydration of synthetic gypsum proceeds via multi-step reactions. Using a heating …
The high belite sulfoaluminate cement (HBSAC) containing CaSO4, and without CaSO4, based on solid wastes were successfully prepared from petroleum coke desulfurization slag (PCDS), fly ash (FA), carbide slag (CS), and bauxite (BX). The mineral composition of clinkers after different calcination history were investigated by X-ray fluorescence (XRF), …
Purpose of gypsum in cement: 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 the hydration of cement is that, when the water is added into cement, it starts reacting with the C3A and hardens.
As gypsum retards the process of hydration, it is termed as retarding agent of cement. Effects of Gypsum on Cement Gypsum prevents Flash Setting of cement during manufacturing. It retards the setting time of cement. …
