SODIUM-GYPSUM MIXTURE, SCOPE AND SHORTCOMINGS
LE GYPSE SODE, SES POSSIBILITIES, SES LIMITES
Adding sodium to gypsum or to previously dried phosphogypsum produces a material which can be used as an activator for granulated slag. The effect of the gypsum and sodium mixture can be described through the chemical theory of setting. The sodium-gypsum system is similar to the gypsum-lime system. The slag hydration products formed are qualitatively different from those which develop through simple calcic, sodic or sulfatic activation. Compared with the normal lime activation, the potential quantity of hydrates is higher, provided the activating agent is used in greater quantities than those normally used in gravel and sand-slag techniques. /TRRL/
