The industrial byproduct gypsum is a general term for byproducts discharged from industrial production with calcium sulfate as the main ingredient. Due to the high number of impurities and production volume, the industrial byproduct gypsum is underutilized, leading to serious environmental problems. At present, only …
Each step of the cement production process is carefully monitored to ensure efficiency and quality. Grinding, Mixing, and Blending. ... The clinker keeps cooling and a ball mill grinds it with gypsum or other ingredients into fine cement—about 150 billion grains per pound. Blending in higher ratios of limestone or SCMs can reduce a plant's ...
