摘要:
The present invention is directed to a gypsum panel with reduced calcination and a method of making such gypsum panel. For instance, in one embodiment, the gypsum panel comprises a gypsum core and a first facing material and a second facing material sandwiching the gypsum core, wherein the gypsum core includes gypsum and a calcination inhibitor. The methods of the present invention are directed to making the aforementioned gypsum panels.

In another aspect, pottery plaster molds with increased water absorption and methods of making and using the pottery plaster molds for slip casting ceramic items.
摘要:
The process makes calcium sulfate alpha-hemihydrate or essentially plaster of paris from finely divided gypsum made by desulfurizing flue gas obtain from a power plant fired by brown coal by transforming the calcium sulfate dihydrate in the presence of saturated steam. A molded body is formed from the calcium sulfate dihydrate which has a plurality of pores. The pore volume amounts to 15 to 60% by volume of the total volume of the entire molded body. More than 5% by volume of the pore volume contains air. The molded body is fed to an autoclave. In the presence of a sufficient water quantity in the pores, the crystal habit and the crystal growth of the calcium sulfate alpha-hemihydrate crystals which grow in an aqueous solution phase are controlled by a process temperature in the range between 110.degree. to 180.degree. C. by the pressure of the treatment atmosphere in the autoclave. The molded body is removed from the autoclave after recrystallization transformation and delivered for use. Key products of this process and their derivatives are also described.
摘要:
Particulate magnesium oxide prepared by calcining magnesium oxide at between about 1100.degree. C. and about 1500.degree. C. At least about 80% of the magnesium oxide particles are between about 150 microns to about 400 microns in diameter. This magnesium oxide is capable of producing expansion in set cements when the temperature thereof is at least about 60.degree. C. Preferably the magnesium oxide has been calcined at between about 1100.degree. C. to about 1300.degree. C. for about 1 to about 3 hours, and at least about 80% of the particles are between about 200 microns to about 325 microns. Further, the BET surface area of the particles is preferably between about 0.8 to about 1.8 m.sup.2 /g, and the acid neutralization time (using the method described) is between about 15 to 20 minutes, and further preferably between about 17 to about 25 minutes. Expandable cement compositions using such magnesium oxide, and a method of using them in cementing of wells, are also disclosed.
摘要:
A calcium sulfate anhydrite material is prepared from a spent absorbent resulting from desulfurization of flue gases. First the sulfite in the spent absorbent is oxidized into sulfate, preferably by heating in an oxygen containing gas, and thereafter the chloride content of the spent absorbent is reduced by heating the spent absorbent at a temperature of 600.degree.-950.degree., preferably 750.degree.-950.degree. C. together with fly ash. Said fly ash may be recovered together with the spent absorbent in the desulfurization process, or it may have been recovered separately and mixed with the spent absorbent.The product may be used as cement additive or for other purposes in which calcium sulfate anhydrite is conventionally utilized.
摘要:
A continuous calciner, particularly advantageous in converting gypsum to plaster, with two coaxial cylindrical walls, provides for heating air within the inner cylinder and then directing the air, for conveying and heating fine particles, along a spiral path, between the walls of the two coaxial cylinders, extending from one end of the calciner to an exit at the second end.
摘要:
A process for producing .alpha.-type hemihydrate calcium sulfate by oxidizing calcium sulfite with an oxidizing agent in a suspension containing at least one anionic, nonionic or amphoteric surface active agent.
摘要:
A filler for a mica-free joint compound, comprising by-product gypsum having a mean particle size between about 11 and about 12 microns, a percentage by weight of particles smaller than 1 micron of between about 5 and about 6.5, and a packed dry bulk volume no greater than about 93 cc. per 100 grams.
摘要:
Natural or synthetic gypsum is reacted with quicklime in any desired proportions, the heat needed for the complete conversion of gypsum in plaster being supplied, on the one hand, by the exothermic reaction of hydration of the quicklime and, on the other hand, by an external supply of calories obtained by indirect heating of the reaction mixture. This indirect heating may be effected by convection and conduction or by radiation from a metallic wall.
