The effects of desulfurized gypsum on the mechanical …
Desulfurized gypsum (DG), an industrial by-product primarily composed of calcium sulfate (CaSO4) with a global annual production of 280 million tons, can react with leached alumina in an alkaline environment to produce needle-like ettringite [28], [33]. Ettringite exhibits significant volume expansion and can densify microstructure.
