Abstract Most construction projects face the problem of a high percentage gypsum in soil. To get rid unwanted effects gypsum, which lead to dissolution presence water and settlement foundations buildings subsoil roads, researchers used several materials that can be added soil improve its properties resisting loads. This research presents study effect adding cement kiln dust (CKD) ground-granula...

are enhanced. Sugarcane germination can also be promoted by increasing soil Ca (Mohandas et al., 1983). Louisiana sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is produced mainly on For some crops, gypsum is effective in reducing the heavy-textured soils that offer less than ideal conditions for growth and function of the root system. Cultural practices that improve the incidence of soil-borne diseases (Kao and K...

gypsiferous soils occur in xeric, ustic, and aridic moisture regimes. environmental conditions affect the mode of gypsum formation. gypsiferous soils in fars province, southern iran, are found in piedmont plains, flood plains, and alluvial plains. the objective of this work was to investigate the micromorphology of gypsum crystals formed under different soil moisture regimes. the results indica...

The aim of this research is to identify the properties soils formed on a material gypsum origin under conditions coastal region through case study profile representative these soils, due narrow area in which rocks are exposed and similarity characteristics over entire explorations. morphological description soil samples were taken from each horizon according approved methodological foundations,...

Introduction: The secondary minerals of Martian meteorites have long fascinated the scientific community due to their possible formation on Mars, which in turn can provide insight into weathering processes on Mars. Minerals such as jarosite have a restricted set of formation conditions and can provide information as to the pH, Eh, latitude and temperature of fluids on Earth [1-4]. Ca-sulfate (g...

Gypsum is a mineral dust consisting of calcium sulfate and is commonly used in building construction. We here report the first case of an acute calcium sulfate aspiration. An accidental avalanche of fine gypsum powder covered entirely a silo worker. He aspirated a large amount of gypsum powder without loosing consciousness. At admission to the emergency department the patient was breathing spon...

The article presents the results of mechanical activation steel-smelting slag affecting properties gypsum composition. As a result study, parameters were identified that characterize reactivity during activation. It was established increase in number Bronsted active adsorption centers on surface formed powders is responsible for their reactivity. However, maximum activity leads to large percent...
