Mineralogical and chemical properties of FGD gypsum from ...
Mineralogical and microprobe analyses were carried out on FGD gypsum samples collected from the Meliti 330 MW lignite‐fired power plant. RESULTS:Results show that the main component of the FGD gypsum is pure mineral gypsum (CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O). The particle size of the gypsum ranges from 5 to 50 µm and the crystals are mainly of rhomboid shape.
