The 27 pages that link to Gypsum, each with the reason it gives.

• Phosphoric acidRelated: The wet-process reaction commonly precipitates gypsum as a large-volume byproduct.

• CalcinationRelated: Heating gypsum removes bound water, a widely used calcination process.

• Portland cementRelated: Added during grinding, it controls the rapid reaction of clinker aluminates with water.

• SpeleogenesisRelated: Groundwater dissolves gypsum readily, allowing caves to develop faster than in limestone.

• CementRelated: It moderates rapid reactions of clinker aluminates and helps regulate setting.

• Flue-gas desulfurizationRelated: Forced oxidation of captured sulfur produces gypsum that can be recovered from wet systems.

• Soil amendmentRelated: Can supply calcium and help reclaim some sodic soils without substantially raising pH.

• GessoRelated: Gypsum-based grounds rely on this mineral instead of chalk.

• Carlsbad CavernsRelated: Gypsum deposits in the cave preserve evidence of sulfuric-acid dissolution.

• Lechuguilla CaveRelated: Gypsum occurs in striking formations created by sulfuric-acid reactions in the cave.

• Axel Heiberg IslandRelated: Gypsum occurs with evaporite deposits that help characterize the island’s unusual salt geology.

• Optymistychna CaveRelated: The cave’s walls and passages formed in this soluble mineral.

• Frasassi CavesRelated: Sulfuric-acid reactions with limestone can leave gypsum deposits in the caves.

• Solutional caveRelated: Gypsum dissolves more readily than limestone, allowing caves to form rapidly in suitable settings.
