Abstract:

In order to eliminate the harm of by-product gypsum to the environment and improve the utilization value of by-product gypsum,the azeotropic reflux method was used to take industrial waste acid gypsum as raw material to obtain α-hemihydrate gypsum through slurry preparation,azeotropic solvent addition,crystal conversion reaction,and suction drying,and the best synthesis process of α-hemihydrate gypsum was explored.The product was characterized by X-ray diffractometer(XRD) and scanning electron microscope(SEM).The effects of azeotropic solvent concentration,temperature,solid-liquid ratio,and pH on the conversion process of by-product gypsum,the composition and structure of the conversion product were mainly researched,and the best experimental conditions were obtained through single-factor experiments and orthogonal experiments.The results showed that when the concentration of azeotropic solvent was 70%,the crystal transition temperature was 120 ℃,the solid-to-liquid ratio was 1∶6,the pH was 5,and the reaction time was 3 h,the aspect ratio could be about 1∶1,and flexural resistance could be obtained.The α-hemihydrate gypsum with a strength(2 h) of 5.6 MPa and a drying compressive strength of 43 MPa met the α40 strength grade of JC/T 2038—2010“α-type high-strength gypsum”.

Key words: by-product gypsum, α-hemihydrate gypsum, azeotropic reflux method, azeotropic solvent
