developed a concept of evaporite (gypsum-anhydrite-salt-potash) origin. He proposed that these deposits had been produced by the intense Ore cars leaving the under-ground mine of United States Gypsum at Gypsum in Ottawa County, circa 1950. Photo first appeared on the cover of the Novem-ber 1952 issue of Gypsum News, published by United States ...

The impacts of quarrying of the gypsum deposits on the environment at Maqna, Tabuk, were evaluated by intensive field studies including in situ testing, mapping and sampling of gypsum and well water. Field and laboratory tests were made to determine the engineering properties including tensile and compressive strengths, unit weight, …

Purpose Soil pollution is a major problem worldwide. Some anthropogenic activities, such as mining, may exceed soil capacity, causing relevant health and eco-system hazards. The use of mineral amendments can help reduce soil pollution. Gypsum mining spoil (GS) is a waste material highly produced in gypsum mining

Phosphate rock mining is the fifth largest mining industry in the United States in terms of the amount of material mined. The phosphate industry is concentrated in the southeastern United States. About 75% of phosphate is mined in Florida and North Carolina with the rest in Idaho and Utah.

Gypsum occurs naturally around the world and is mined in places like Thailand, Brazil, Russia, the US and the UK. The substance is soft and white or grey in colour and is extracted with surface mining. After extraction, it is crushed inside industrial machines and then sorted into pieces of different sizes depending on their intended …

Gypsum in its natural state (gypsum mineral), as recycled and industrial waste (e.g. used or waste plasterboards), or as phosphate industry and thermal power plants by-product (e.g. phosphogypsum, flue gas desulfurization gypsum) has the potential to be used as a cementing/adhesive material instead of cement for ground improvement.

Ground water constitutes a significant operational problem and potential hazard in open-pit and underground mining. The pressure of ground water in geologic discontinuities adversely affects the safety of height and slope angles of open-pit mines, justifying measures to reduce ground-water pressures in their vicinity. The principal hazard in …

Industrial mining projects can play an important role in global sustainable development if associated health risks are minimised and opportunities maximised. While a broad body of evidence from quantitative studies exists that establishes the interlinkages between mining operations and effects on public health, little research has been …

Jonoub Gypsum's Lamerd mine in Fars boasts 70Mt of gypsum reserves.Meanwhile, Samim Derakhshan controls 60Mt of gypsum reserves in neighbouring Hormozgan Province, where it aims to establish a 1Mt/yr mine. The Iranian gypsum wallboard industry is a relatively minor customer for producers' gypsum, of …

In court documents, the state traced the area's mining history to the 1900s, noting a company that mined underground and on the surface before 1930.

Cement-grade gypsum tolerates higher NaCl (0.5–0.6% maximum) and insolubles (6% has been used). Agricultural uses. Agricultural gypsum is being increasingly used to treat sodic soils, symptoms of which are waterlogging, increased runoff, poor water storage, surface crusting, and problems with cultivation and erosion.

Since 1956, Harrison Gypsum has been a prominent figure in the gypsum mining sector. The company has made a name for itself by maintaining a consistent and high level of product quality. They operate four gypsum mines in Oklahoma, one mine in North Texas and three limestone mines – two in Oklahoma and one in South Kansas.

Traditionally gypsum has been produced by mining, both opencast and underground. There has not been much recycling of gypsum-based materials due to the difficulties in separating mixed products. But its ultimate disposal (to landfill) has to be as special/hazardous waste, rendering this as an expensive option. Gypsum production

The first year… Our first full year saw record production figures and for the first time ever, the amount of gypsum mined exceeded half a million tonnes.. Based on the success of operations, Saint-Gobain Formula has …
