We used …

The objective of the study is to determine the viability of establishing Project for Gypsum Mining, Production, Processing and Marketing. The methodology adopted in the preparation of this study includes primary and secondary data collection from relevant sources and analysis of the collected data.

This paper is an integrated geophysical investigation of an abandoned gypsum mine. • We used resistivity and electromagnetic methods to discover an abandoned gypsum mine. • The presence of shallow mine tunnels onsite is the major factor in ground collapse. • The Self-Potential created by downward seepage is a key to …

Mining activities can damage rock masses and easily induce ground collapse, which seriously threatens safe production in mining areas. Micro-seismic systems can monitor rock mass deformation signals in real time and provide more accurate data for rock mass deformation analysis. Therefore, in this study, the waveform characteristics of …

Many methods of gypsum identification and determination have been developed, each one with its own limitations. The paper reviews the study of gypsum from different points of view, complementary and necessary to obtain a general overview of the methodologies used to study gypsum in soils. ... Geophysical surveys are frequently …

Gypsum is a non-metallic mineral, found in rock form. It is composed of 79.1% calcium sulphate and 20.9% water, by weight. Chemists call it Hydrous Calcium Sulphate, and as there is one molecule of calcium sulphate combined with two molecules of water. It has the chemical formula CaSO 4 2H 2 0. By volume this works out to nearly 50% water in ...

Mining Methods. Most of the world's gypsum is produced by surface-mining operations. In 2022, only three underground gypsum mines were in operation in North America, one each in Indiana and Iowa in the United States and one in Ontario, Canada. …

Gypsum mines in China are mostly exploited through room and pillar mining. Due to backward mining technology and a long history of mining, a great number of pillars were left in gypsum mines. Many serious work safety accidents occurred as the result of goaf instability in history, which posed severe threats to the security of people's lives and …

Gypsum. Gypsum is a mineral found in crystal as well as masses called gypsum rock. It is a very soft mineral and it can form very pretty, and sometimes extremely large colored crystals. Massive gypsum rock forms within layers of sedimentary rock, typically found in thick beds or layers. It forms in lagoons where ocean waters high in calcium and ...

Gypsum is a soft sulfate mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4·2H2O). It is commonly found in sedimentary rock formations and is often associated with other minerals such as anhydrite, halite, and sulfur. The name "gypsum" is derived from the Greek word "gypsos," which means "plaster" or "chalk.".

In this context, the objective of this study is to present the operational, economic and environmental benefits obtained from the change of the gypsum …
