soil properties. Gypsum is somewhat soluble in water, but more than 100 times more soluble than limestone in neutral pH soils. When applied to soil, its solubility depends on several factors, including particle size, soil moisture, and soil properties. Gypsum dissolves in water to release Ca2+ and SO 4 2-, with no significant direct impact on ...
The heat released during the reaction dries the soil while the increased calcium ion concentration raises pH, ... This is probably because of the relatively high solubility of gypsum in water. Unlike fine-grained material, where cation exchange is the main mechanism for improved behavior of the treated soil, the stabilizing effect of …
Experiments were carried out by mixing equimolar solutions of Na 2 SO 4 and CaCl 2, and encompassing the entire experimentally accessible concentration range (0.04 M – 0.2 M; this range is limited in the low concentration end by the solubility of gypsum, and by the too fast and experimentally not approachable precipitation rate observed at ...

While it is unclear why gypsum did not behave similarly to alum and Epsom salt, the differences in their solubilities may have played a role; the solubility of gypsum is much lower than that of alum and Epsom salt, particularly under subzero temperatures (Marion & Farren, 1997) that existed in the field from late fall to early spring.
The FFNN-BR outperforms the other models to determine gypsum solubility at 295 and 313 K. The results obtained from Pitzer and CMIS models are satisfactory.

The alkaline pH levels observed in slag-based gypsum and flue gas desulfurization gypsum are attributed to CaCO 3 impurities originating from the steel and …
While our study showed non-significant changes in soil pH under all amendments after six weeks incubation, there was a modest decrease in soil pH under gypsum and biochar (Table 1). There was a non-significant increase of soil pH under CaCO 3 treatment, which may be due to a higher insolubility of carbonate in saline …
The solubility of the PG sample in distilled water (2.7 g/L) is nearly close to that of pure gypsum (2.25 g/L (Sfar Felfoul et al., 2002) and is higher in sodium chloride solution (10 g/L) than in sea water (3.9 g/L and 2.4 g/L respectively) (see Fig. 3).To determine the optimal sodium chloride amount allowing the increase of PG's solubility, …
This chapter gives theoretical and practical information for proper gypsum management in salt-affected soils. Although gypsum is well known as amendment an to …
Gypsum has been used for centuries to reclaim sodium affected soils (alkali soils). It is effective since it has good solubility regardless of soil pH. In fact, its solubility is enhanced in sodic soils. Some data would suggest that the solubility of gypsum in alkali soils is four times greater. Once the gypsum dissociates intoGypsum has been used for …
The solubility of gypsum in different salt solutions containing Ca, Mg, Na, Cl, and SO4 was determined experimentally at 298 …
The dissolution of gypsum increases at pH 12-13 [47] explaining why, no gypsum crystal is observed at later stages (14 and 28 days cured samples). The degree of hydration (DOH) is calculated by ...
Established in 2010, GLOBAL GYPSUM BOARD CO LLC is the first to operate gypsum board and value added plaster plants in the Sultanate of Oman, with production capacities of 15 Million sqm for 12.5mm thicknesss plasterboards, 60,000 MT/year of value added plaster and 150,000 MT/year stucco production capacity.
In contrast, gypsum solubility is less influenced by pH. Although the gypsum dissolution products cannot directly neutralize acidity as carbonate does, ... and competing anions, the added sulfate can potentially increase or decrease the pH, slightly. Under both laboratory and field conditions, gypsum has been reported to increase …
The solubilities and dissolution rates of three gypsum sources (analytical grade (AG), phosphogypsum (PG) and mined gypsum (MG)) with six MG size fractions ((mm) > 2.0, 1.0-2.0, 0.5-1.0, 0.25-0.5, 0.125-0.25, and PG > MG) due to reactivity and surface area differences, with 1:20 gypsum:solution suspensions reaching saturation …
Salalah International Gypsum Co. L.L.C., or SIG in short, is the leading natural gypsum producer & exporter from Sultanate of Oman. We are located at Salalah in the Dhofar governorate, which is the southernmost part of Oman. Our gypsum mines are located at Thumrait, around 80 km from Salalah city. SIG's gate way to the world is the Port of ...
Unlike calcium in lime, the solubility of calcium in gypsum is not affected by pH (see figure below) so gypsum provides a soluble source of calcium if sodium needs to be displaced in neutral to alkaline soils. Soils that have more than 5–6 per cent of the cation exchange capacity occupied by sodium are called sodic.
The amendment of salt-affected soils with elemental sulfur (S 0) has been recognized for its potential to effectively reduce soil salinity and pH, thereby enhancing soil physicochemical properties, promoting crop growth, and improving yields.Despite these known benefits, the widespread adoption of S 0 for managing saline soils, particularly in …

The agronomic criterion under which gypsum should be applied are given below:
The likely progression for calcium sulfate mineralogy was original gypsum precipitation that was altered to anhydrite under burial diagenesis, with subsequent exhumation and shallower depth of burial resulting in alteration back to gypsum. The higher solubility of gypsum facilitates extensive development of karst topography on the …
