IN GYPSUM EXTRACTION. The German construction company Bantle made radical changes to the extraction and mineral processing methods at one of its gypsum quarries by using a KEMROC chain cutter EK 140 mounted on a 45-ton excavator. The chain cutter replaced a hydraulic breaker as the primary extraction tool which reduced costs at the crushing plant.

· Calcination makes for perfect plaster. The rock from the homogeniser is ground down even further before it goes through what''s called the calcination process. Here, any water from the rock is removed in a low temperature kettle to create the first resemblance of plaster powder. This then travels through the mill, where the particle size of ...

For example, in one of the pilot plants, a farther distance to the recycling facility lead to 1037 kg CO 2 eq./t gypsum waste associated only with the transport, which is significant compared to the 2033 kg CO 2 eq./t emissions of the whole extraction process of natural gypsum. Other factors that can affect the efficiency of transportation and ...
Trovigliano Quarry, Trovigliano, San Valentino in Abruzzo Citeriore, Pescara Province, Abruzzo, Italy : In the locality of Trovigliano, near the town of San Valentino in Abruzzo Citeriore, there are some active quarries for extraction of gypsum and evaporitic rocks.
Aggregate is mined from the earth, either dug out of pits or blasted out of quarries. This process has many significant environmental impacts. [1] Creating the pits or quarries requires the removal of virtually all natural vegetation, top soil and subsoil to reach the aggregate underneath. Not only does this lead to a loss of existing animal ...
The gypsum deposits in the Monferrato area of Piedmont are generally high quality, and underground mining allows the best parts to be reached, favouring extraction of the mineral gypsum without contamination by clay, marl or altered gypsum, as often occurs in opencast quarries.
· Torralba Group is the leading Company in the extraction and commercialization of GYPSUM in SPAIN. Our affiliated company "Explotaciones Rio de Aguas S.A." is involved in at the extraction of gypsum from quarries and another affiliated company "Transportes La Fama S.A." transports our gypsum.

· Mine operators extract minerals from underground mines, surface mines and quarries using machinery and explosives. Some extraction processes, such as stone quarries, may use large quantities of water. After extraction, many types of raw minerals are then subject to processes such as crushing, milling, washing and chemical treatments.
Gypsum used for plaster manufacture usually contains at least 90% CaSO 4 2H 2 O, a maximum of 0.02% NaCl (salt), and approximately 2% acid insolubles. Another major use of gypsum is in the cement industry, where it is added at the rate of 2–5% to cement clinker prior …
· microorganisms; water extraction; anhydrite; gypsum; phase transformation; Water plays many roles in organismal function: It is not only critical for metabolic processes but also acts as a structural component in materials and tissues (1, 2).Against all odds, even in the driest places on Earth where nothing grows, microorganisms were found to colonize lithic (rock) substrates as a last refuge ...
remains from gypsum quarrying and working, extraction of secondary stone resources for tools, and quarries targeting domestic utensils, collectively illustrate the interaction between man and the geological resources throughout the landscape, and illuminate the problem of delineating a
· Chile: Germany''s Knauf plans to invest US$11m towards increasing the rate of gypsum extraction at a quarry its subsidiary Yesos Andinos operates at the Rubí deposit, in in San José del Maipo, Cordillera Province. The company said in an Environmental Impact Study (EIA) that it wants to raise extraction to 0.4Mt/yr, according to ValorFuturo.
· The size of the extracted blocks, the extraction methodologies and the age of a charcoal fragment (361 – 178B CE) found immediately at the contact between the gypsum quarry floor and the infilling sediments date the quarry back to the Roman age.
AbstractMany quarries for the extraction of gypsum are located in the hills of the Monferrato area (central eastern Piedmont). Close to the village of Moncalvo, Asti Province, a subterranean quarry of more than 20 km long is present. During the excavations a fracture from which water gushed at a pressure of 3 atm has been intercepted in 2005.
STEP 4 - Gypsum extraction. The use of controlled explosives to create a series of cracks in the rock and loosen the harder deposits of gypsum is a necessary part of the operations at Bantycock Quarry. Blasting is limited, as it only needs to ''fracture'' the gypsum so that it can be lifted by excavator to the processing area.
The extraction of the gypsum has impacted practically all the elements of the environment (landscape, water, soil, subsoil, flora, fauna, etc.) and, in particular, all of the karstic forms.
